A Detroiter eh? Or was it syndicated? I dont think it was I think it was purely local like Sir Graves Ghastly on Saturday afternoons. I remember watching The Ghoul as a kid when the cousins spent the night. Saw some great B movies. My favorites were always the deepest darkest Africa, headhunter movies.
Ron Sweed, the horror host who became a hit on early 1970s Detroit TV in a haze of firecrackers, absurdist humor and the never-ending torture of his sidekick Froggy, has died in Cleveland at the age of 70.
Long before Elvira became a thing Detroit TV pioneered these shows with the Ghoul and Sir Graves. As a kid my boy scout troop took a tour of the CBS channel 2 station in Detroit and we got to watch a filming of Sir Graves. After the show we all got to look at and touch his coffin.
The Bird really is the word! Could the Trashmen finally be taking out the garbage?
Everybody knows about the bird.
I almost posted that last year (when Musk bought Twitter), but then figured it wouldn't fly here.
Wouldnt fly haha
Disturbed is also the word 🥺
The bird is the word
Upvote for knowing the Trashmen. I learned about them from The Ghoul.

And wasn’t the Ghoul’s mascot a frog? Prescient.
Yup his name was Froggy.
