In October 1957, Screen Gems released a bundle of old Universal horror movies to syndicated television, naming the collection "Shock!".

This package also included an uncut print of Night of the Living Dead Creature Features normally showed all the classic Universal Horror movies from the 1930s and 1940s, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and others.

TV horror shows of this sort became more scarce during the early and mid-1980s, partly because acquiring broadcast rights for these films became considerably more expensive in the new era of cable television.

Creature Features was also the name of a horror show which aired on Saturday nights in the South Bend Metro Area on WSJV-TV Channel 28, from 1968 till 1977.

The show featured artwork of 4–6 monster heads on a blue background used during announcements, or another watercolor of a black castle on a long winding road in the moonlight.

Baron Von Crypt's Shock Theater aired on KDNL TV Channel 30 in St. Louis Missouri from 1970 to 1971. with a refilmed reboot in 1976.

KDNL's Shock Theater hosted by a campy vampire named Baron Von Crypt and his side kick Igor.

Baron Von Crypt has made very few live appearance, but when did materialize it was at the legendary St. Louis Checkerdome where lines of fans waited to meet him.

Von Crypt made it into the pages of the now legendary TV Guide with full ads announcing his upcoming shows Shock Week Promotions.

Again based on fan support and Peer group recognition, in 2017 Mark Lashley and Baron Von Crypt were inducted into the Horror Host Hall Of Fame at The Sharonville Center in Cincinnati Ohio.

This was followed by the return of Creature Feature to Omaha area television in February 2013 on Fox Network's KPTM Fox 42 station, in a one-hour format featuring locally produced horror shorts and the new Doc (Christopher Palmer) continuing the previous Doc's comedy, as well as performing charity events with the character.

Creature Features ran on KTVU in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1971 to 1984, hosted by Bob Wilkins, and later by John Stanley, who took over in 1979.

He also interviewed many sci-fi and horror movie personalities on the show, including Ray Harryhausen, Christopher Lee, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, John Landis, Douglas Adams, William Marshall, Forrest J Ackerman, Buster Crabbe, and several Star Wars performers, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher.

[3] During much of this era, KTVU also ran classic horror films on Saturday late mornings under the Chiller Diller title, with no studio host; these were generally seen after the day's airing of Soul Train.

Creature Feature originally aired late 1972-early 1973 on Friday nights at 11:30pm out of WCIX-TV channel 6 an independent station broadcasting out of southern Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Unlike the previous host's easygoing relaxed style Bwana Johnny would be more active, interrupting and even inserting himself into the film with humorous dialogue to bizarre effect.

This version began with a disturbing animated six fingered hand growing out of the ground, reaching toward the sky while "The Entrance into Sogo" from Barbarella played in the background.

WCIX's Channel 6 Creature Feature played the classic Universal monster movies of the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s in addition to RKO and American international's post atomic bomb films.

The Creature Features was the name of a horror show which aired on Friday nights at 11:30 P.M. in the Kansas City Metropolitan Area on KSHB-TV Channel 41 beginning in 1981 through 1990.

Other folks to visit Crematia's spooky castle home included her mother Desiree, her sister Cremora, and their strange old cousin, Henry.

Channel 41's Creature Feature could be seen via cable in Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma and parts of Texas.

The theme music for the Creature Feature was written (and played on a Casio keyboard) by KSHB-TV's Creative Services Director, Rob Forsythe.

Misty Brew's Creature Feature aired every Friday Night at 11 pm CST, on KBSI TV 23 The Fox Affiliated Station for The Paducah, Ky/Harrisburg, IL/Cape Girardeau, Mo Television Market.

Making her television debut in 1983, Misty Brew continued to host a variety of Creature Feature movie until late 1989.

Misty Brew's Creature Feature aired classic films such as Psycho, Swamp Thing, Phantom of the Opera, The Haunting, Theater of Blood, and the yearly Halloween Marathon.

The program was hosted by local radio personality No Name, and Balrok, a demon, who claimed to broadcast from caves under the KOFY studios.

The hosts had a snarky frat-boy style and had many off-color guests, including local comedians, burlesque performers, and adult film actresses.

[7] Guests have included Erin Brockovich, Steve "Zetro" Souza, Veronica Carlson, Candace Hilligoss, Jon Provost, and Kathy Garver, among others.

However, new episodes of the series continue to be produced; the show can be viewed on YouTube as well as on a streaming service known as Creature Features TV.

One of the Deadly Ernest would start with himself and another ghoul, dressed in undertaker's attire, running outside and inside the Studios to a fast-paced instrumental tune.
