This is one of the special features from the DVD of "American Scary" - a deleted sequence about Nashville horror hosts: Dr. Lucifer, Sir Cecil Creepe, and Dr. Gangrene. This stayed in the film almost until the very end, but was eventually pulled to get the running time down to a managable length.
"American Scary" was released on DVD in February 2009, and can be purchased from Amazon and other retailers. It is also available through iTunes and Netflix.

You are correct...I looked up the YouTube "Tennessee Trash" video, and there is a comment by the son of the star of the commercial..his name was Irving Kane.
MAN, they sure spread a lot of garbage on the highway to shoot that ad. I NEVER saw a road that bad here in Tennessee!

@mazakman1957 no, that was another dude who did "Tennessee Trash". Although Russ had another character Elrod I believe it was, in Tenn. Tourism commercials...and YES, those were the good ol days I remember too as a teen in Tennessee! ;-)

Thanks for sharing this.I would always look forward to spending the night with a good friend and watching Sir Cecil and the Vintage scary movies.He came to Columbia for a Boy Scout event and I still have my Sir Cecil patch. Great memories! Another video posted here about Sir Cecil on Halloween night has a former famous Channel 4 personality.If you grew up in Nashville in the early 70's you will get a kick out of who Sir Cecil dresses up as....

I think Russ McKown also was the "Tennessee Trash" dude in the anti-littering commercials the state sponsored. Those were the good ol' days I remember as a teen in Tennessee!

Great stuff!
Sir Cecil was on the air from 1970-73 - Ken Bramming (Dr Lucifur) in the 50s - I started my show in 1999.

Wow! Classic stuff from Nashville TV.
Too bad it didn't make the cut.
You just got one more DVD sale, though.
