Bob Wilkins hosts The Fog 1987 - Part 1

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

To be a kid in San Francisco in the 70's was a magical time, and Creature Features late great Bob Wilkins was one of the great parts of it. Miss you, Bob!

[@bloodmooncomix457]

San Jose California (age 56) This man is a Bay Area icon! 🙏😔🇺🇲

[@CaptiveWildWoman]

I miss Bob's wry commentary and dry wit. Thanks for the wonderful childhood TV memories.

[@vivianlang5269]

I miss Bob I wish they would rerun all his shows

[@Bobby90]

Licensing issues likely won't allow it.

[@jmars309]

Saturdays was never the same , neither is KTVU.

[@Syndellica]

This brings back good memories. It was Creature Features and Bob Wilkins gave me the beginning of my love for horror films. RIP Bob, you are truly missed.

[@frankdenardo8684]

He was the man. Watching Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, The Mummy. Also a lot of science fiction films as well. A lot of the horror films were made in England. Bob Wilkins also did one for KTXL 40. This was before the Fox Network took over. Unfortunately, Bob passed away around 2009 or 2010 in Reno, Nevada, he was living in a nursing home and suffered from dementia.

[@TrekToons]

I miss Bob Wilkins. He made our Saturday nights. I came close to working with him at KCRA in Sacramento in 1995. He did a special program for his 30-year anniversary as well as KCRA's 50th. The movie was "Attack of the Mushroom People."

This guy was a hero for me growing up in the seventies. I was in Seattle (still am!) and we were lucky to get KTVU through the magic of cablevision for several years and so I could watch every Saturday late night Creature Features and other day time Horror movie programs like Chiller Thriller Matinee which I think came out of Canada, also Seattle had Mystery Mansion Theatre which had an ultra cool opening of a silohuette of a mansion and the camera would pan up closer with thunder and lightening going on(of course) and slowly the windows would light up to cool and creepy harpsichord music and a sonorous man's voice would introduce the night's feature. Wish I could see that again. Nightmare Theater was a Friday late-night horror show with the Count. Ran frm the early sixties up into the mid seventies. I remember the Count being in poor health. Good times though. TV was so much more fun before all that late-night info crap came on!. We had a horror fest on weekends then and now late nights on the weekends are crap. Svengoolie is ok, sometimes,mostly f-----g awful, He's no Bob or the Count, that's for sure. Captain Cosmic was also the bomb. Miss ya Bob!

[@SpookOneMusic]

actually it was called Chiller Diller Matinee.

[@f15H8ul8]

wow! really takes me back. remember looking forward to Bob Wilkins' CF every week when i was a kid in the Bay area. a magical time and place. miss it so.

[@barb782]

Thank-you for showing this. My brother and I watched this every week as kids and truly loved it! This brings back all those happy memories...

[@muppetonmeds]

He was the man

[@chrisgrider6036]

This was a big part of my childhood. In Billings,MT we got KTVU on Saturday nights at about 11:00pm. Bob Wilkins and John Stanley were great hosts. You can buy DVDs of their shows online if you look for them. The even have original TV commercials from the 70s.

[@evelbat]

Man, I wish I would have known that! I moved from Miles City, Mt to Billings in 1977 then to Calif in 1984. All those years in Billings I could have been watching Creature Features! My whole life I have always felt I missed out on growing up with Creature Features.

[@beth2398]

I used to watch this show all the time as a kid. All the scary movies I can remember watching on TV where on Creature Features. Watching him as a kid, I didn't get his humor, but watching some of the clips now, he is hilarious! I was really missing out on his wit as a kid. Miss him and the show.

[@TheBee87bee]

We all miss him!

[@gregoryborowski9784]

I REALLY LIKED HIS HUMOR AND HIS SMOKING CIGARS I THOUGHT HE WAS FUNNY ! MISS HIS SHOWS R.I.P. BOB !

[@dannunya959]

[@longjohnsilver5179]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall watching Bob Wilkins in the late 60's but he used to be on Sacramento KCRA channel 3 doing Creature Features.

[@joshuaback4112]

Love this man

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

GUESS WHAT? I was in jr high coming home from school in a car when KGO radio was interviewing BOB about this and a woman came in to the studio and SCREAMED on the air you can hear it sadly nobody has a tape recording of it.

[@realjaxon]

The opening reminds me of Roddy McDowell's Mr. Vincent character in the 'Fright Night' movie.

[@nolgoodrum2122]

John Stanley took it over after what Bob Wilkins left by January of 1979 to September of 84 Being reborn by Crowhaven Studios in Windsor CA where Vincent Van Dahl and the tall Afro-American negritian butler Livingston and the Victorian silent lov Tangella is doing today! Keeping up that "Creature Features" spirit!!

[@teptime]

I remeber watching him host THE CREEPING TERROR while my folks were having the fight that ended their marriage. Double whammy.

[@Jenniferkate]

thank you! One small correction: It's KTVU.

[@tnpatriot7468]

I get the vibe he did not leave on the best of terms and has some residual animosity.

[@onniegranados8489]

Bob Wilkins had such a dry sense of humor, it's hard to tell if he was pleased or upset about pretty much anything.

[@fschalk]

I miss that voice

[@rickleemusic1]

Do you have Bob Wilkins' interviews with Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford from 1977? Please upload if you do!

[@tneville1962]

Remember the 1st creature feature show

[@tonyferrari38]

I miss Bob Shaw also.

[@heathgoff4785]

The opening music is from the Battlestar: Galactica soundtrack

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

THERE WAS ONCE A COMMERCIAL THAT I SWEAR WAS ON AROUND THE LATE 70S that was on KTVU it was a little child upside down with a face painted on her chin there was a brick wall with flashing lights around BOB WILKINS DENIED IT but mr lobo remembered also remember the radio station commercial with CCR BAD MOON RISING & DOOR SLIGHT MY FIRE in it?
