Description: Dr. Shock was the best a kid could ask for back in the early daze of UHF channels. The horror host with most even got himself banned from the airwaves for his goofy macabre antics but us kids wouldn't stand for that. Under pressure, Channel 17 relented and the good doctor continued presenting the scary movies we all knew and loved! RIP Dr. Shock.
