Count Floyd - Comedian Joe Flaherty of SECOND CITY TV/SYN/1976-84 portrayed the zany horror show personality Count Floyd, the host of Monster Chiller Horror Theatre, a recurring show-within-a-show parody of TV horror programs. Wearing a black cape and white turtle neck sweater, Count Floyd began each program by stepping from an upright coffin and howling like a wolf. In a phony Transylvanian accent, he introduced classic horror movie parodies like Dr. Tongue's, 3-D House of Slave Chics in SMELL-A-RAMA and Tip O'Neal's 3-D House of Representatives. As the Count often said, "EEEW!, That's scary stuff!" The Dr. Tongue movies featured the plump comedian John Candy as the weird scientist Dr. Tongue whose main concern in life was getting women. Eugene Levy played his gnarled, hunchback companion, Bruno.  In 1982 RCA released an album (MFL1-8501) entitled "Count Floyd." It featured such tales as "The Gory Story of Duane and Debbie" (and what happened when they parked their car on a date) and "Reggae Christmas Eve in Transylvania." Joe Flaherty reprised his goofy but harmless Count Floyd character within the Saturday morning children's program THE COMPLETELY MENTAL MISADVENTURES OF ED GRIMLEY/NBC/1988-89  when he introduced a "really scarrry" story each week. TRIVIA NOTE: Speculation has it that Count Floyd was actually SCTV news anchor Floyd Robertson who reluctantly did the Count Floyd gig at the SCTV station under pressure from the station management.
