So very cool to see Sammy Terry again. He scared me more than the films he presented.

Look ya square in da big eye.

I watched this show and old horror films before sleeping during my early childhood. It builds character. He's a mister Rodgers sort of character, right?

I used to work with Steve Ross. Steve was a great guy, but the old scrooge he works for, isn't. Especially, during tax season. Right, Big "D" ?

[kes1963]

Can anyone who grew un in Indianapolis back then explain who the guy was with the puppet. And the guy with the straw hat, was he on commercial tv or the pbs station in Indy

The Cool Ghoul was the host of "Scream-In" a Saturday night show on WXIX in Cincinnati. He showed horror movies and did schtick. He was played by the late Dick Von Hoene, a local DJ and television host. Hattie the Witch was one of Larry Smith's puppets and had her own show for awhile. Whatever became of Snarfy R. Dog?

Sammy's special "ghost" from Cincinnati was Dick von Hoehne, a/k/a The Cool Ghoul, a Cincinnati-based horror host, a big fave of mine as a kid. The puppetteer was Larry Smith, who used to appear both on the Cool Ghoul's show and other kids programs in town. Dick is gone, sadly, but Larry Smith still does puppet events in Ohio.

He was from a Cincinnatti station not Indy

It's so great to watch this again! Thanks for the memories, Sammy! I hope you check out my Halloween video, which turned out to be more of a tribute to you than anything else...

Even for over 30 years ago that was weird. Bad camera work there at the end. I would imagine the punch was pretty well spike for that party.

We just went last night to see Sammy Terry .As he worked out on stage, he just put tears in my eyes. And he is just gets better with age. He is my Childhood Hero. And I love Sammy so much .
