PaulTurbo In his later shows, The Ghoul would overdubb dialogue in the movies. Once there was a bunch of teenagers dancing and he dubbed in polka music. Another time there was a swamp creature in a horrible cheap outfit. When the creature came out of The water, we hear, "Hiya gang, Hiya, Hiya, Hiya...,"

The guy's name was Ron Sweed and man I remember him well. I would watch the Goul on Channel 61 out of Cleveland on my neighbors then "Alliance Tennarotor". There was no such thing as cable back then in the early 70's. Yes, the movies were corny. But, this was legendary entertainment in a time when children played outside ,a computer was a room full of machines and the word "internet" was not in our vocabulary..

Frightening contemplations of youth. I grew up in Oakland CA and I still remember the magical summer i which his show was syndicated on KBHK channel 44 in San Francisco and we could enjoy both The Ghoul and Bob Wilkins. I thought he was hysterical the way he tore up Froggy. Of course, the sickest amongst us kids did this shit to our toys in real life but this in no way blunted the novelty of an adult doing this on television.
