The strangest host of all I think. Where as most have been men or women, this host is truly a first in that it was never alive in the first place.
The Glob was a puppet. Not quite a Muppet, more like a rubber fright mask with some luckless stage hand wearing it over his/her hand off camera. For about a year on KBHK Channel 44 in San Fransisco, the Glob proved popular enough to inspire a rare thing: A Slurpee.
Local 7-11's in the Bay advertised a favor inspired by the host, although I have as of yet be unable to find a description of what said flavor would entail.
Oh hell yeah. Loved all the bay area hosts. Wilkins was King, Asmodeus, The Glob. Chillers from Science Fiction in the 60s. No host but I couldn't wait to get home from school to watch it.
