Horror Host 2015 Retrospective: Dr. Von Shlock

Real name: Gene Moss
Years active: 1965-1966

Technically more of a afternoon kid show host than a proper horror host, Dr. Von Shlock and his puppet Shrimpenstein entertained kids on KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles for a while in the mid 1960's. As best as I can tell he hosted more cartoons than movies, but a host is a host.

As an aside, he would finish up his tenure KHJ Channel 9, which would eventually change into KCAL, home to several hosts we've showcased before.
