Description: On Saturday, January 9, 1971, after weeks of attention-grabbing teasers (like giant chickens fleeing with the host), the Bob Wilkins hosted horror movie program Creature Features debuted on Oakland's KTVU 2 at 9:00 pm. Kicking off with 'The Horror of Party Beach,' the show was an immediate hit and became a ratings winner, so the show expanded to a double feature format on August 7, 1971. While the movies ranged from campy to downright terrible, it was Wilkins' dry wit that made the show work. With his droll humor, omnipresent cigar, and iconic rocking chair, he played the role of an aficionado with a taste for genre cinema. The show was so popular in the Bay Area that it would often beat network programming which probably blew some minds.
