Ghoul Scrapbook

Ghoul Scrapbook by Sweed, Ron. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781886228221.

Relive the heyday of "The Ghoul," the favorite TV wildman of thousands of Clevelanders and Detroiters who were glued to their tubes late Saturday nights during the mid 1970s and 1980s. A direct descendent of Ghoulardi (Clevelands groundbreaking horror host of the 1960s), The Ghoul took the outrageousness to still higher (or lower?) levels. The movies were bad--he was worse. And we loved it. This appropriately odd-looking scrapbook showcases the Ghoul at his greatest, and includes rare on-set photographs, video captures, publicity shots, notable Ghoul guests, and actual show transcripts. It also features some rare, never-before-seen correspondence (mostly letters from outraged viewers and accompanying memos from overwrought TV station executives). "The Ghoul" has recently returned to the airwaves and is now seen on Friday nights on WBNX Channel 55.
