While the entertainment world grieves over the death of Jack Valenti, I’m saddened to hear the news of the death, at 94, of horror host Sir Graves Ghastly. Sir Graves was a horror host whose show was seen by many in the Midwest.

I grew up in Detroit watching the scaaaaaaaary antics of SG who introduced me to horror classics like Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. His Saturday afternoon show was a must-see for me. I especially loved when he showed a gallery of monster drawings by kids.

Anyway, he will always haunt my memories in a good way.

Scared and sad…
Gore gone.
