Bob Wilkins, Legendary Creature Features host

[edybeast]

God bless you, Bob. You are missed very much.

[pbohnhof001]

We would get it in Sacramento too, spent many a Saturday nights staying up late & digging this show. RIP Bob.

[InformantNewsJoeHeld]

I saw Night of the Living Dead" for the first time on Bob Wilkins Creature Features. Been a Zombie fan ever since. Yes, R.I.P. Bob Wilkins

[apryason]

I saw "Night of the Living Dead" for the first time on this show. Blew me away. Still the best zombie movie ever made. (RIP Bob)

[ohmah70]

somthing about that dark window scared me as a kid

[LeathanL]

Wow, talk about childhood memories. Up late on Saturday night with friends, watching "Night of the Livng Dead" for the first time. I also remember seeing ads on Creature Features for this silly-looking, soon-to-be-released movie called "Star Wars". Sorry to hear Wilkins passed on a few yers ago. A little bit of my childhood goes with him.

[BansheeMilk]

wow....takes me back

[NaturgeisterArt]

Bob Wilkins is mystic

But have a look at Rebeccas Channel NaturgeisterArt so you can see the lovley side of legendary creatures

Sabine

[inkey2]

is he wearing a wig?..............or just terrible hair

[frisk49]

i have a signed poster of bob wilkins with dracula frankenstein and spock in the background so awesome!!!!!!!!

[MikeAM78]

I miss the days of horror hosts. I missed many of the great, having grown up in the '80s and '90s, but it's just something that I've always liked.

[barbiewmn]

OMG I used to be so addicted to this show back in the day.

[barbiewmn]

omg I used to be sooo addicted to this show back in the day! Great to see you're here!

[DickLodge68]

Ch.2 KTVU! I grew up in the bay area. It always killed me as a kid. Here's a mild mannered man, smoking a cigar...but he might be holding a bloody skull too! I completely lost it when I was about six or so. They had a movie about some castaways or something...deserted island! Attacked by Mushroom People! I would love to know what that movie was! Any info, do tell! It obviously didn't scar me too badly, because I love mushrooms - the regular ones...you freaks!

[kyokogodai]

@DickLodge68 If the actors/actresses were Japanese, it was "Attack of the Mushroom People". It is a classic from Toho.

[DickLodge68]

@kyokogodai Thanks for the info, I will check it out!

[ImOfNope]

This is very cool. We had McNealy in chicago growing up in the early 70's. I never knew until recently that Creature Features was basically all over the country, in major metropolitan areas. I want to study it more.

[aneondevilbreath]

I watched Bob Wilkins show in 1963! I loved it! and also i had to beg my mom to watch the second show!

[ticket88]

What a blast from the past! I used to watch Creature Features every weekend growing up! Thank you for posting this! :-)

[vividwatch47]

Bob Wilkins himself kept some of the "Creature Feature" tapes, which is surprising since videotape was so expensive that most independent stations wiped off and reused them over again.

[hcs0la]

Creature Features baby! Bob Wilkins was a must on the weekends. He brings back good memories of my childhood. Watched him on channel 2, from the bay area.

[familyguytrooper]

WOW this brings back memories of popcorn and low budget horror films! I loved it! Does anyone know where to get DVD's of Bob Wilkins and Creature Features?

[wallofvideo]

seriously, why aren't there shows like this on today's local tv stations? if there were, i would watch it and i'm guessing i'm not the only one. is it really prohibitively expensive to produce a program like this for a local market?

[compman67]

Even up here in Oregon Bob made a permanent impression. Bob will always be a part of my childhood.. Me and my brother got on one show....we were floored... I had read a bunch of snoopy books and Bob showed a pic of me with my books. My brother sent in a hand drawn picture of Darth Vader and that was shown too...Halloween was special and Bob was always a part of it for me, a critical part. Bob is the only real horror host to me..

[Capt777harris]

Oh man, "The Federation Trading Post"... memories.

[kurosword]

Never been prouder that my name is Bob Wilkins

[Johns805]

I was into "Creature Features", both in Chicago and San Francisco....

Geeks understand this....LOL!

[metalpriest420]

I grew up in redding and watched this until that other guy took over

[mojangles1]

..i remember seeing a movie called "Blood on Satans Claw" through this show. Classic campy cheese..thumbs up!

[MelLocklear]

@mojangles1

I saw that movie on creature feature too!

[EvilFingers]

I posted this Video on my Facebook Page.

[odinthedog]

It doesn't get any better than this.

[OogieBoogie345]

Haha. My hero! Being only 24, I've only got to live the legacy he left behind with recorded footage, he'll live forever in the hearts of monster movie kids!

[lovebuttons]

takes me back watching in Tahoe many moons ago, oh those 70s ties, lol. :)

[trinzeon]

I miss this so much. It reminded me of the very best of growing up in the Bay Area (as it was back in the day). I can even remember begging my mom to take me to the Federation Trading Post. Ironically, I just read that there was a Star Trek Convention in SF over the weekend with William Shatner. God love the Bay Area, and Thanks Bob Wilkins. You were an icon. RIP

[dLimboStick]

@trinzeon I still have my Star Fleet training manual I bought when I got to go to the Federation Trading post back in 75 as an 11 year old. I've long since lost the tribbles.

[flagwaver1969]

@trinzeon

When I was growing up in the 70's, it was Bob Wilkins and Creature Features that showed all the great Hammer Films from England. Great memories.

[cobaltsteel11]

North bay natives, my brother and I would watch creature features every Saturday night

KTVU channel 2...........we will miss you momma

[scaramoochscaramooch]

@cobaltsteel11 .......hey i grew up in Benicia........native here!! go i remember watching creature feature growing up

[newfunkboi]

WOW, this brings me back...in Idaho now but grew up in the bay area...channel 2 baby....

[BigHickory357]

wow, i remember watching him when i was a kid, living in palo alto "KTVU2"

[dpalavi]

Wow! Brings back memories...

[salvin1792]

This would scare the crap out of me and my cousin, but we watched EVERY week!

[shanemc68]

I grew up in the 70s watching this every Saturday night as well. The intro cracked me up with the ragtime music playing while they show all these quick clips....my fav was the midget zombie playing the piano...lol. I think later they came up with a song written for the show. Thx for posting...brings back scary memories...LOL!

[brucew22]

this played up in Roseburg Oregon in the 70's. I watched it every Saturday night with my parents. It was the highlight of my week.

[lockenjr]

i grew up over in coos bay this and portland wrestling on kptv12 were staples of my saturday nights...

[thehillbillymoon]

When I was a little girl my mom would let me watch this with her.

[CaliforniaRiotBand]

As a 1970 girl I use to love to watch creature feature in the

city of Oakland, california. Very scary too me as a kid.

[Ldym8]

Use to watch creature Features every Staurday night as a child...Night of the Living Dead..scared me so much...I never forgot it..."There Coming to get you Barbra "...that line still freaks me out...lol

[ISleepNow]

I swear to G*d, somebody ought to conduct a poll to find out how many people this affected this way.

I watched it every single ****ing time..

[mepilot1]

Had the fortune meeting Bob before he passed. A real gentleman.

My autographed picture of him and a recent postcard are very special to me.

God Speed Bob!

[ThebigredViking]

I lit my skull candle as you did on TV, Bob.

Thank you tons for so many nights watching you and the movies you

introduced.

You are one of a kind Bob.

[recaulkulous]

I lived in Napa, CA at this time. Night of the Living Dead....Man that scared the poop out of me! Still does!

[rmsolympic1]

Yeah, I was in the Bay Area then, too, and some of the movies terrified me, but I loved every chilly minute of it!

[ISleepNow]

I almost said exactly the same words on a different post. I swear, if that show was still on and still showing NOTLD I'd probably still be catching it every single time with no idea why..

[WAIATA4U]

I met Bob Wilkins at a Sci Fi convention in San Jose back in 1978...He was at a Channel 2 booth sitting in that yellow chair hanging out with David Prowse (Darth Vader). Man, that was the shit! I got my Captain Cosmic silver card signed by Wilkins--and autograph from Prowse on a Darth Vader picture.

Scary then, funny now: I also remember seeing two guys dressed up as the aluminum-faced cop from THX 1138, and a "sandman" from Logan's Run; eating McDonald's. LOL

[Khultan]

You watched Captain Cosmic, too, hunh? Ha ha ha

[arbirdie56]

I used to sit in my Aunt Lola's living room and watch this, wow brings back memories. Dang it sorry hes dead everyone I watched is dying off :*

[benskelly]

Oh my f--king god. I lived in Oakland at this time and I watched this show all the time as a kid. Wow. I just did some serious time-traveling in my head.

Thank you for posting this.

[kraigy]

Does anybody remeber the name of the wierd movie he played every christmas (something toyland?) I can't remeber I was 7. but I loved all of the Godzilla movies!

[JakPaybak]

"Robe-its".. Awesome.

[marginallymental]

"We've dug this guy up..."! Wow, this brings back memories---Patsy, my sister, and fatso me, barely able to keep our eyes open at midnight and shivering to "Night of the Living Dead" , while Patsy's mom served us homemade fudge. Shivery good times, and a "hot night out" for nerdy, Waspy 'tweens in a 1970 Bay Area! I always thought Bob was kinda cute. Elvira, heaven bless her, just didn't top him. Thanks so much for the memories. "Venus is known for its ro-buts"! A scream!

[iamwolfspawn]

Still miss you Bob. RIP. Every time I see a horror movie, I recall the countless Fridays I would sit glued to the TV at my parents house on Lester St in Oakland, watching the show. Some of them were scary for me, but I still watched because you would inevatably be along with intermission. Actually shed a tear when you gave the show over to Stanley. Thanks again for the fun times.

[ThebigredViking]

Bob was great. He introduced me to the Night of the Living Dead and so many other movies.

He inspired me to put red drip candles on top of my life-size skull model.

Just being himself onscreen and offscreen was enough to charm fans.

[pumkinbreath]

miss you Bob

[GRM780]

Old school creature features, back when I was a little boy I use to watch this show everyweek end. In Oakland it came on after the Benny Hill Show. I use to watch Bob's Captain Cosmos Show everyday after school. This was in the late 70's to mid 80's. This is unique Bay Area TV. KTVU.

[brucew22]

This show was broadcast up in Oregon as well. I lived in Roseburg, Oregon and watched this show religiously back then.

[August138]

There will be two huge Bob Wilkins celebrations coming this Spring 2009 -- one in Sacramento and one in San Francisco. Please stay tuned to the official Bob Wilkins website for the announcements!

Bob Wilkins Lives!

[volontewilliam]

This guy was so cool...back in the day.

Spent many sat nights on the shag carpets waiting for godzilla and mothra.

Being a kid in the 70's rocked!

[Tautriadelta]

Bob Wilkins 1932-2009

[MrDefaulto]

That's the problem/advantage with video, they would/could just record over the old shows with new shows, and sadly, they did that with creature features.

At least Bob's family knows how much he was loved by his fans, and how much he meant to us!!!

I just realized after watching this, I probably felt OK watching this late at night as a kid because here was a clean cut gentleman in a suit saying it's ok. Ah the good ol' days!

[maverick6t4]

rest in peace bro sorry to hear of your death ..a fan

[OskieCat]

Bob Wilkins and Creature Features were such a part of my childhood.

I contacted KTVU several years ago asking if they'd ever re-air Creature Features and was told majority of the footage no longer exists.

It's too bad, Creature Features was awesome and it was because of Bob because as we all know, the movies pretty much sucked.

I also saw Night of the Living Dead for the very first time on Creature Features.

RIP Bob Wilkins ... and thanks for the childhood memories.

[ChristinaB4]

RIP Bob Wilkins- you bring back such good memories from my childhood... I would watch the show w/ my Dad and he would scare the crap out of me.

[TONORAD]

Really brings back the memories from many happy Saturday nights from my early childhood. Loved watching, lying on the living room floor.

RIP, Bob, and thank you.

KTVU, perhaps time to rebroadcast?

[cestkoko]

Saturday night was all about Creature Features, and it got to the point that I actually would get scared as soon as I saw his face, kind of a Pavlovian thing. (I was 5.)

Thanks, Bob.

*****

[mrsjill98]

Rest in Creature Features Bob, you filled up my empty chilhood hours with joy and humor.

[JohnWMorehead]

Bob, thanks for the frights and fun. You helped make my childhood in the 1970s and influenced my continued love and exploration of horror, sci fi and fantasy. Rest in peace.

[etaeleifi]

God bless you Bob. Great memories from a simpler time....

[Letalone]

R.I.P Bob, you will be missed!! Thank you for the memories!!!!

[GSDubz]

RIP, Bob....I begged my parents to let me stay awake to watch your shows. Thanks for the memories.

[jstwinbaby]

You were truly a Bay Area Icon.

I remember how scared I was when I first saw Night Of The Living Dead on his show.

Somethings in life you wish would never change.

Thank you Bob For The Memories

[saintsubversive]

Rest in Peace, Bob, and my deepest gratitude for the positive influence that your life had on mine.

[matthew1906]

We all will remember him with such affectionate memories. Now get out those decoder cards,... 2,7,5,8,1,23, 11,24,11!

[jessicafm]

Rest in Peace. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

[Glyvxx]

RIP Bob Wilkins.

You inspired so many, you will be missed.

[August138]

I have sad news... Bob's health, he's been suffering from advanced Alzheimer's, has taken a turn for the worse. At this hour, his wife Sally Wilkins, and the doctors, are waiting for the end.

Please send your prayers and well wishes to bobwilkins . net or myspace . com/creaturefeaturesbob

[Belmont1995]

I watched Creature Features all through the 70s, it was just went without saying that 11 p.m. on a Saturday night I would turn on channel 2 and watch whatever bad movie Bob was playing. Wilkins in that old wooden chair puffing his stogie and shooting barbs at the film he was presenting was a local fixture much like watching Carson's monologue during the week. I miss those times - even with 500 channels today, it's not as good as one Creature Features.

[jeffcodog]

I grew up in S.F. 6th and Minna St..... I love watching Bob Wilkins!!! This brings back great memories as a kid.... Thank you!!

[fbmarz]

I loved watching Bob.....but why does he call them "Robuts"? LOL!

[Khultan]

I grew up in SF and in the mid to late 70s every Friday and Saturday night, my uncles and friends, my younger brother and I would get ready to watch the latest retro sci fi or horror show from this wonderful host. :)

[BeachBum19647G]

I met Bob Wilkins a couple of times. Once at a sort of tribute/ farewell appearance, and a few months later at a Star Trek convention. I have an autographed photo of Bob framed and hanging on my office wall.

Yep, nothing like the good old days! Thanks for the memory!

[Bronski02]

Holy cow! Bob Wilkins... Creature Features... Bruce Hyde and The Federation Trading Post! Damn... I miss those days. Simpler times.

[elcalimex]

Love(d) Creature Features as a kid... I tried hard to stay awake to watch. I remember watching "Night of the Living Dead" on Creature Features (normally, they showed 1950s B-movies, so this was a little bit of a darker movie!), and I remember being so freaked out. Everybody was asleep in my house, and when the movie ended I made my way to the bedroom, turning on all the lights! Awesome memory.

[NickDrake101]

Bob Wilkins was great. It was always so calming to watch him host Creature Features. The show would start sometimes with a little bit of dry ice wafting around Bob before he came in to full view with his trademark cigar. I think they also did that when he hosted "The Fog" special back in the 80's. I sure miss Bob he was a one of a kind. God bless him.

[monster4josh]

An Evening of Creature Features comes to the Del Mar Theatre in Santa Cruz, CA, at 7PM on October 23, 2008! Special guest is John Stanley, Bob's replacement on CREATURE FEATURES.

Tickets are only $10, and in addition to WATCH HORROR MOVIES--KEEP AMERICA STRONG! will be a second feature: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!

Proceeds go to Bob's Alzheimer's fund.

I got me tickets today, and just wanted to share this info with all my horror friends!

[jazzyfayy1983]

when i was a kid i was scared of creature features i use to think the monsters was looking at bob through the window

[matthew1906]

"Hi kids!" I'm sad to say Bob Wilkins has Alzheimer's. You can help him by googling "BOB WILKINS ALZHEIMER'S FUND" and contributing to the fund via PayPal. Thanks for helping our friend Bob!

[clintbronson5]

It is sad I got to see and tell him he was like a father to me at the last Wondercon he was at!

His son and daughter were there to. I loved

my Creature Features I lived in San Jose Ca.

Watched him Fridays and Sat. I notice he says RAH-BUTS instead of ROBOTS :)

[Khultan]

Thank you, Matthew1906. I wish this were not so. Damnit, Alzheimers.

[August138]

Tonight in Oakland (May 15, 2008) is the world premiere of the "Creature Features" documentary WATCH HORROR FILMS—KEEP AMERICA STRONG! at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, CA! Featuring members of Bob Wilkins' family and friends!

[Amocabana]

Yup, I also remember watching this show on a small black & white tv in NYC way, way back in the early 1970s.. Also loved Chiller, which was also on tv back then. Chiller's intro was a lot spookier---I would shut my eyes throughout the intro!

[kadag]

Sweet!

Every Saturday night I would cuddle up and watch this show with my Dad on his wee little Black and White TV.

It was a distinctly pleasant time of my childhood. Thanks Bob

Thanks Dad

[jamestipperdotcom]

WOW! Thanks for this!

[willccsj]

I met Bob Wilkins at a Star Trek convention when I was about 12 and got my "Bob Wilkins"/Creature Features Fan Club card! That was better than anything else at the Star Trek convention. lol

[cjonyx]

Oh my god when a freind told me the had " creature features" on youtube i just had to see ! I grew during '70's in Oakland not too far from where it was broadcasted - KTVU channel 2( which is now the FOX affiliate for the San Fracisco Bay Area) They would have smoe late-nite dance show then 'ole Bob Wilkins would come on. This was a saturday nite ritual for me as a kid so seeing bob again almost got me misty-eyed...makes you think in our 40's where all of our heroes have gone ! Anyway thx Bob !

[RafalloJ]

I too was a huge "Creature Features" fan when I was a kid. Godzilla nights were fun. Loved watching all the classics especially when it was double feature night. On those same nights, the trailer for "Beyond the Door" used to air, scaring the crap outta me. I used to get up and change the channel as fast as I could (before remotes!) One night, I thought I'd face my fear and when it aired I left it on, only to have a couple cats start fighting outside my open window, never again.

[jsm408]

I so loved this show. My cousin and I would watch it every saturday night. Memories!

[TheVideoVault2]

Does anyone out there have the 2nd Creature Features theme from the late 70's(1979) to early 80's(1984). I lived in the SF Potrero district from 1974 to 1983 and luckily met Bob Wilson when I was like 7 or 8. The films I watched hosted by Bob & John Stanley(CF 2nd host)put me on the path to the horror film connoisseur I am today. Bob's in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's Disease now & I just wanted to give him my best wishes and Bob...Thank You.

[DRbiohazard]

You can order it on cd from Bob Wilkin's

web site.

[DRbiohazard]

One of the few shows I got to stay up and watch in 1971 was a movie called The Vulture.

That movie freaked me out! For at least a year

I was afraid some dead guy would fly off with

me if I went outside alone at night.

[keithfansf]

Aw, I don't remember that one! Good memories of yours though. We were very lucky to be kids in the Bay Area back then.

I wouldn't trade the Creature Feature experience for anything in the world. If I had cd compilation of every episode I would treat it like a family hierloom!!!

[DRbiohazard]

I am currently trying to collect all the movies that were shown on Creature Features

during Bob wilkins' run. I would like to be able to find a list somewhere of what films were aired. There are several sites offering

dvds of Bob Wilkins on Creature Features minus

the movies.

[keithfansf]

Well, the best of luck to you my Bay Area friend. I'll go on his site and purchase what I can too. Where else are you finding these treasures pray tell.

[DRbiohazard]

There are some links on Bob's site.

[Capt777harris]

@DRbiohazard Same here. I saw the first one in Sacramento on Channel 40, and kept watching them every Friday when I was allowed to stay up.

[sfyardiebird]

Watching this my brother and cousins is one of my greatest childhood memories. My partents let us stay up late every Sat. night. We'd be so scared my mom had to come in and turn the T.V. off when it was over. Ha!

Our favorites were: Who Slew Auntie Roo, The Raven, & The Pit & The Pendulum - Remember those!!

[DRbiohazard]

Bob wilkins was an awesome horror movie host...thanks for posting this!!!

[elguapo741]

I remember watching this as a kid every saturday night, it was the best. my favorite was during the breaks they would blow up model cars.

[DRbiohazard]

I remember begging my dad to let me stay up

and watch creature features in 1971-72; usually to no avail!

It wasn't until 1979,when we had channel 2 again,that I got a regular dose of the show.

[skepticdude2]

I grew up in Sacramento too, but my mom always made me go to bed before Wilkins came on! I had to lay awake in bed, listening to my older sister and mom watch those horror films. DAM!

[brixiafidelis1]

I grew up in San Mateo, and one time they aired a Hammer film called 'Twins of Evil', and forgot to cut out a nude scene. Those were totally different days, and I hadn't seen or even thought about a nude woman before. I was so scared, thought my mom was going to come in the room and take the wooden spoon to me! lol

[the60sKid]

Dude you got robbed. Hope they let you stay up sometimes and watch.

I remember Navy vs the Night Monsters. When that tree creature ripped a sailors arms off and he went running down the jungle path with no arms...just FREAKED me out. I could barely stay awake for the 2nd feature usually. Great being a kid in the 60s and early 70s in Sac.

[DRbiohazard]

I agree...many fond memories of those years

watching ktvu 2,kbhk 44, and sac's tv 40.

Thankfully we have dvds to rewatch some of those old shows.

[the60sKid]

I was there watching 7 Arts theater on KCRA 3 too in the beginning 1966. Watched all the way up to 1976 before I left the area. Got KTVU 2 on the UHF rotor antenea sometimes when the weather was clear.

[DRbiohazard]

Channel 31 in Sac. aired some cool stuff also;

around 1974-75. Lots of B-movies and old serials like Cammando Cody. I also recall

watching those old 1966 Marvel Super-heroes

cartoons on it.

[the60sKid]

You bet...mid 70's remember it well. Also showed Flash Gordon and the Captain America serial too. Haven't seen the Sky Marshall of the Universe Comando Cody where he wore a Lone Ranger type mask in decades.

[BTMN39]

why yes the 60's kid the batman dose remeber the creature feature movie the navy versus thenightmonster -n-yeah i do remeber the part when the treecreature had ripped the poor sailor's arms off -n-had him running down the path to thejungle i hope that you where to freaked out it was only a movie -n-i also hoped that you where able to stay awake to see the whole movie.

[TheRagingCelt]

Holy Crap!  My childhood just came back to me in a grand Proustian rush!

[giantship]

Yep, I miss Bob, He brings back memories of me staying home on Saturday night to get creeped out. Thanks Bob! I didn't know about his illness untill I read it here just now. That's just tragic!

[pazvato]

I grew up in Sacramento, CA and remember when Creature Features was on there first on KCRA channel 3. I then moved to San Francisco for a few years and I remember when he moved to KTVU channel 2 (I found out later that he was on in both cities).

I sure miss that show.

[mdmde]

Bob Wilkins was a great tv host

[delmontoon]

"Ro-butts."

[zardozman7]

Watched, "Night of the Living dead" during its first TV airing on Creature Features, and it has still haunted me.

[drsnk]

Bob was the best. I was sorry to hear he has alzheimers. KTVU was the best til FOX killed it.

[kitchenalchemy]

What a trip! I used to love Creature Features and stayed up every weekend to wath it. KTVU was the first cable channel we got. Giving away my age here a bit, but My brother and I would have friends over, we'd throw out the sleeping bags on the floor and try to stay up through both of the double features jacked up on popcorn and soda. Thanks for posting this, i'll check out his site. Thanks again.

[exumedcat]

oh my god !!!!!!! this is the show made me a night person . I haven't seen this for almost 30 yrs. I too wish they would bring this show back. Replaced by info mercials! ....I miss Mr. Wilkins . Thanks for posting

[debwong]

I'm a San Francisco native, grew up in Pacifica, and watched Bob all those years on KTVU. Still have some of the Creature Feature shows, and a special on videotape. Met Bob with his robot 2T2 in Mountain View in 1976(still have a pic of us with Bob and the robot). GREAT to see these clips!

[ottoskidoo]

which shows do you have? would love to get a copy!

[acbeach]

The one time my folks let me stay up and watch Creature Features it was "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter." I bragged about to everyone at preschool.

[karaloyal]

Bob Wilkins had the BEST deadpan delivery. I loved how he would say if he didn't like the movie.

[whatuswattingat]

I grew up in San Francisco and I consider the 70's one of the best periods of my life. One reason was "Creature Features." I loved nothing more than staying up Saturday nights and watching Bob Wilkins, cigar in hand, hosting some of the best (and worst)horror movies around. And then watching Captain Cosmic Monday thru Friday? The man dominated my week, but I LOVED IT!

I am aware of his health, and I send my prayers and love to him and his family.

[dharmabums320]

God yes! Remember how Channel 2 never seemed to have enough personnel to cover all their shows, so they would have the morning movie guy (Bob Marsh, I think) doubling up as Captain Satellite for the afternoon kids' show, etc.? I seem to remember Wilkins as a weatherman, too. I'm originally from San Mateo, and I ate this stuff up. Viva Creature Freatures!

[whatuswattingat]

I stuck with it until it finally ended with John Stanley, who was a decent host, but he just wasn't Bob Wilkins. They just don't make shows like that anymore, and that's a pity.

[stellaluna4u2]

I met Bob at a Star Trek con back in the mid 70's and he autographed a poster of himself for me. I saw him again about 5 years ago at another Star Trek Con and I brought the poster for him to autograph again. He and John Stanley were amazed that someone actually still had one of those old posters. Love Ya Bob!

[88GURP]

What the bizness man this is what TV is lacking man I use to stay up all night to watch this way to bring it back.

[stellaluna4u2]

Yes...I would stay up all night when I was a kid on saturday night watching Bob...my sister and brothers and I would be scared to death from some of those movies and we couldn't wait until the following saturday to be scared again! Grew up in San Leandro, CA.

[geetsromo237]

The quality is fantastic. Mr. Wilkins, I used to watch you every Friday and Saturday night with my brother as kids. You are and remain one of a kind and I miss your show...Bring it back!

[41510BRAND]

You were all we had in Richmond, CA. My brother and I couldn't wait for Creature Feature on Saturday night. To think, Godzilla gave us nightmares. Reminds me of the days when Grand Auto commercials were the last ads shown before tv went off for the night, although I think it was another network.

Creature Feature a real 41510 Original.

[41510BRAND]

You were all we had in Richmond, CA. My brother and I couldn't wait for Creature Feature to on Saturday night. To think, Godzilla gave us nightmares. Reminds me of the days when Grand Auto commercials were the last ads shown before tv went off for the night, although I think it was another network.

Creature Feature a real 41510 Original.
