Sir Graves Ghastly - Pasty-faced horror show host with a British accent, goatee and mustache who presided over Sir Graves Ghastly Presents on WJBK Channel 2 in Detroit from 1966-1983. Every Saturday from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM Sir Graves Ghastly (played by Lawson J. Demming) dressed in a black tuxedo and cape and entertained his many macabre viewers with such classic horror flicks as Dracula (1931), The Wolf Man (1941), and the 1960s cult Japanese classic The Attack of the Mushroom People. Originally born in the days of William Shakespeare, Sir Ghastly got himself lynched when he displeased her royal Highness Queen Elizabeth. Since then he's just been "hanging around" or lying inside of his coffin. Assisting Sir Ghastly were his girlfriend Tilly "Tippecanoe and Tilly Too" Trollhouse; Baruba the ghost; Digger Deeper the gravedigger (played by Walter Selbman); Glob the mouth; The Cool Ghoul (a decapitated head of a motorcyclist); Ivan Awfulwitch the weightlifter; a talking skull; the Voice of Doom; and Walter, Sir Graves' nasty alter ego. A Friday night version of Sir Graves Ghastly Presents also aired on WTOP Channel 9 in the Washington, DC market during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
