Retro Creature Shorts
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.

Description: Monster in My Pocket was an early '90s phenomenon that blended mythology, pop horror, and playground imagination into a wildly collectible toy line. Released in 1990, the series featured small, rubber figurines depicting legendary creatures, each assigned a power level and grouped by theme. The figures were packaged blindly, encouraging trading and collecting, and their pocket-sized scale made them perfect for kids to carry anywhere. The brand quickly expanded into comics, trading cards, and video games, cementing its place as a cult favorite of the era. Its appeal lay in turning ancient myths and monsters into tangible, kid-friendly icons of fantasy and adventure.
