From the depths of my caffeine soaked brain I recall a Friday or Saturday
night movie host on channel 56 (WKBG days) called the Ghoul. He did a
sci-fi/horror hosting gig. I recall one show where he blasted himself
around the studio on a fire extinguisher. I think that he also used to do
stuff with Cheez Whiz or something. Back to my coma.
