Larry Thomas as SeymourSeymour the Sinister - The host of 1970s Saturday night program Fright Night on KHJ-TV Channel 9 in Los Angeles. Seymour (played by Larry Vincent) offered the worst in horror and sci-fi movies. The show's official fans (known as "Fringies") received a "Certificate of Demerit" which read: "To whom it may concern...and it won't. This is to certify that (have a friend help you spell you name) is a member in bad standing in Seymour's Society of FRINGIES. Because you enjoy such outstanding horror films as Attack of the Mushroom People and Monster  from the Surf etc. & etc. you are truly on the LUNATIC FRINGE and deserve all the help and recognition you can get. You are an idiot of the very first order." It was signed "Disrespectfully Seymour, Master of the Macabre, Epitome of Evil, The Most Sinister Man To Crawl The Face Of The Earth." Seymour closed each show saying "I'd like to wish you a good evening.  I'd like to...but that's just not my style!" Larry Vincent, a.k.a. "Seymour" died from stomach cancer on Sunday, March 9, 1975 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank. He was 50.
