In San Francisco the was a show in the 1970s called Creature Features. The Host, Bob Wilkins sat in a rocking chair and delivered flat jokes about the movies. In 2008, Tom Wrysch asked my associate and me to bring the show back. Same chair, same skull but no cigars as we look at the old classics and some newer films along with interviews with the stars and convention footage.
