I met Bill (he was in character) in May of 1976(?) when he led Break-out at Wm &Mary. I still remember him leading the mob down Francis Street from the Pub and then jumping in the pool at the Wmsburg Lodge. He's the best!!
He's on WHAP 1340 Am in Hopewell doing an oldies show. You can get the station on the radio in Richmond too or over the internet. Used to watch him on ch 8 back in the day...
It would be so cool if Channel 8 still had those tapes... who cares about the movies! Just give us the Bowman Body bits inbetween and we'll be happy! Dracula Goes To Petersburg!
I LOVED "Shock Theatre" featuring The Bowman Body. Bill Bowman was really a wonderful host for that program and it actually featured some pretty good obscure horror movies. One of the best was "Lemora: Lady Dracula" (or something like that). It's on DVD, now it's titled "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural". Check it out!

I loved watching Bowman Body on "Shock Theatre" during the 1970's growing up in Richmond, VA.

I was on Shock Theatre about 3 times for my school's "Fun Fair" when I was a kid. Bill Bowman is a really great guy, a first class act.
I'd still watch it if it were on the air again.

I used to stay up late, build model cars and watch the Bowman Body! Cool stuff. Real nice guy.
