...I remember these guys from "Mystery Science Theater 3000"...
Our Creature Feature was MT Graves, the fella with the feet on the right. He holed up in a dungeon under local station WCKT until the mid 60's. Not late night, we'd cut our Saturday adventures short to catch the great B&W flicks from the 50's that aired at 4:30 PM.

We had Bob Wilkins as a Creature Features host in the bay area in the 70's through the early 80's. He was a well liked TV personality. He sat in a big chair which a cigar and had a bunch of props to help make the mood creepy. I was young and wasn't supposed to be up later than 8 but I would sneak out of bed at 11 pm and would watch with my older brother. I loved scary movies when I was young, especially the classics. The new ones scare me too much.

I loved this show too, it was so funny how they ripped apart campy movies. They are supposed to be making 12 new episodes which are supposed to air sometime soon. If you are on facebook look for the "official" Mystery Science Theater 3000 page for info.
When I was a Kid, TV hadn't been invented
I wasn't around for Vampira.....
...but I thought Elvira looked even better.
We had a guy here in Charleston by the name of Ashley Ghastly That was funny to watch. He had a dry, deadpan delivery that could make even old jokes sound funny.
I like Svengoolie. The humor isn't great but sometimes he has me rolling with those songs he makes up. What I really like about his show is how he gives background on the actors, what they later appeared in and production anecdotes.

For me as a kid it was Dr. Paul Bearer, in SW Florida. He did it for almost 25 years.
Growing up in Central Florida, I used to watch him on WTOG channel 44 out of Tampa. Thanks for the memories!

Back in the late 60's early 70's around here (central Indiana) it was
Sammy Terry.
We stayed up all night watching the horror flicks.

Kinda reminds me of Al "gradnpa" Lewis.

I thought it was Elvira and then all the rest.
I recently saw her on the Danny the Count Vegas car show.
She still looked good!

We had Dick Von Hoene, The "Cool Ghoul".
This is always what pops into my mind when the topic comes up.

I know we got a picture and I asked my wife if she knew where she hid it.
It's not the clearest but here it is, from 27 years ago:

I saw that as well-she had a hearse. I mean-she had Count's Customs work on a hearse she had. Elvira was still beautiful though its been since the 80s since I last saw her on anything.

The white is starting to show through the blonde hair and more white in my whiskers too.

Of course I had a LOT of favorites....
... but what they did with 'Teenagers From Outer Space' I believe was my all time favorite.
