I grew up in the bay Area as a kid. I remember Creature Features from 1972. I watched it ever since. Used to look in the TV Guide to see what was coming up in advance. My gramma lived in Oakland. She took me to KTVU 2 in Jack London Square to see Bob when I was 5 years old. It was a Bay Area tradition to watch it every weekend. Good times. Days long gone.

[@steveimes4233]

Thanks for sharing Vincent, Tangella and Livingston. I loved the documentary on Bob Wilkins.

[@oldmanfrank578]

I remember this from when I was growing up!!! My dad would pop a giant bowl of popcorn for me and my older sister and we would stay up late on Friday/Saturday night watching this.... 😢 ❤😢 THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

[@troyhickman4904]

I've been getting hyped up for this all day. In honor of Bob, I thought about painting my chair and lighting up a cigar, but I think I'd better just settle for fluffing my pillow and eating a Twizzler...

[@henryjoneit2918]

I twisted up a fatty but didn't have the kahonies to spark it up. LMFAO

[@doctorhoffman4550]

Grew up watching Bob Wilkins on KTVU 2!!!!

[@MitchBast-xu7jg]

As a little boy in the late 60's early 70's, my younger brother and I had a standing appointment every Saturday night with Bob Wilkins. He helped shape my childhood. Thank you a million times over for presenting this, it's priceless

[@terryolsson4145]

Excellent! Thank you for the tribute to a cool guy and the memories.

[@crimestick6648]

Bob Wilkens' Creature Features was a very large part of my childhood. Vincent, Tangella and Mr. Livingston, thank you for picking up the mantel!!!!

[@stewburner63]

Love Bob … many many nights sitting in the blue glow of the tv in a darkened room .. growing up was never better .

[@P7hustler510]

This was the go to as a kid I remember watching Bob for years..I remember he showed the creature front the black lagoon in 3d ..u had to go to 7/11 and get them ..not only he hosted creature features he also was a syfi buff and he was also known as captain cosmic and trusty robot 2t2 which really just blinked and made noise lol was so cheesey it and it was great..showed space giants, ultraman ,specter man best Years of my life was spent watching Bob Wilkins..he is still the man here in the bayarea..thanks for showing him to the world

[@diracflux]

Fantastic documentary. What an amazing time.

[@RaooulD]

Thanks for posting this excellent video! Takes me back to the late 70's, growing up in San Jose, CA. To a time when my brothers and I would lie on the living room floor eating popcorn and watching CF every Friday night!

[@dinoleite2559]

Uhf channel 44 ah those were the days Friday night at the drive ins Saturday creature feature

[@randycunningham7318]

I like how he actually talked about horror and sci-fi movies.

[@Oddyellano]

Super Bob Wilkins documentary! Thanks for showing this Vincent and Tangella.

[@akakjb]

This was great. I think one of the best things about this version of CF is the fact we can all enjoy the premieres together. And this episode is about as META as you'll ever get: CF running a documentary that's essentially about Creature Features. As always, I had a blast with my fellow audience members. Please support the show if you can or at least get people to watch the episodes, live or not, to build up their views and income that way. Happy trails!

[@PhilNY15]

Brilliant! I found the current CF mainly because of Tangella and I stayed, ok, mainly because of Tangella, I am sorry but she is the perfect woman! I never grew up seeing any shows like this - Long Island, NY - and once horror went to gore I was turned off. Later because of my time in war and seeing real death, the gore stuff seems perverse to me and there is no art to it. Not like something like The Haunting of Hill House and some great Hammer movies. I love all the horror shows but CF is my favorite and when I get some money, one I will financially support. Thank you so much for this and for making the new show different yet very much in the spirit of Bob.

[@williamborges3914]

College in the early 70s wouldn't have been the same without Bob. At Sonoma State we got broadcasts from both Channel 40 in Sacto and Channel 2 in Oakland. The cool thing now is anywhere in the world we can get Vincent, Tangella and the great Mr. Livingstons' homage on KZbin and the CF streaming channel. And, especially, thanks to Tom Wyrsch! 😊

[@Michele.3142]

Such fond memories of Bob Wilkins’ Creature Features! Can’t wait!

[@TheShrededward]

I watched many creature features movies with Bob Wilkins back in the 70s. Lots of good memories!

[@ramonmacias9013]

This brought back so many memories of sneaking out of the bedroom in my pajamas at 6 years old to look over the back of the sofa while my parents would be watching Creature Features. Good memories.

[@louisfinley4631]

i grew up in philadelphia and our guy was doctor shock. he was awesome. he did the best live magic tricks and i found out years later from a documentary that dr. shock was the president of the magician's guild. i love the fact that vincent and the gang are carrying on the tradition. from the time i could walk until i was graduating high school, dr. shock was a HUGE part of my adolescents and eventual entry into young manhood. he died about the time i no longer needed his guidance because i was 17 and moving on to girlfriends. it just seemed right. like he was mine and once i was grown up, no one else could have him. almost like the only reason he was there was for me. i didnt want to pass him on to the next generation. i know, it sounds a little selfish, but i was 17.

[@MceDMD]

Watch the mail call for Lisa and the Devil . Apparently they had problems reading my handwriting. This included saying Quartermass instead of Quatermass

[@MarcCarriage121]

I am from Philadelphia Pennsylvania also and I remember Dr. Shock to. It was a great show .

[@butziporsche8646]

When I was a kid, I lived in Medford Oregon and we got Bob Wilken's show every Saturday night. We did sleepovers to watch all night. Weird thing, people said he died in the late 70s or early 80s and he was still around in the 2000s. Sort of like Abe Vigoda.

[@stavivanackerson6563]

this was great guy's!! As a child growing up in Michigan we did not have the pleasure of Bob Wilkins... So it was great learning about him....

[@williambill8323]

I almost missed it when Bob was Captain Cosmic and he read my name on his show. I got a Close Encounters of the third Kind iron on patch & a Captain Cosmic t-shirt. I love Bob Wilkins shows.

[@pamelaheriges3654]

My dad is the person who introduced me to Bob Wilkins and creature features. Loved the program all my life. Thank you Dad, thanks for putting this up.

[@geoffkburton]

As a kid I was a devoted Bob Wilkins Creature feature fan . I even went with my Mom to a lecture on the media given by Bob Wilkins at Cal State Hayward just to see him live . This is one of my favorite features on you incarnation of Creature Features . Thanks

[@Blue_Ridge_Ranger]

Of course, as Homestead High School graduate of 1973, I watched ( or had the tv tuned) to Creature Features. My dad passed away in 1971, my mentor was Gerry Byford as I was in the Edsel Owners Club and Gerry was President of the EOC. Gerry was a guest on Creature Features with Bob, and presented him with an Edsel banner. You’ll see it on the wall in several episodes, Bob said that somehow, the Edsel belonged on his show. Thanks for the memories!

[@sherrymason4127]

If I'm home on Saturday night I watch creature features for sure😊

[@CammieInOz]

@CreatureFeatures I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation, such fun. Here in Australia we had our own late-night horror host Deadly Earnest from 1959 to 1978 which was hugely popular with horror and sci-fi fans. Deadly was played by five people, each host for five of our capital cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth). Television is so very different today, I truly miss the way it used to be.

[@Gil334]

In the early 70's, our classroom got to go on a field trip at KTVU. We got to sit in the audience of a dialing for dollars set, and got to meet Pat McCormick. But, I was there for Creature features. I was so disappointed that Bob wasn't there, and his movie set was just a few panels that they leaned up against a back wall, when not in use.😦

[@armybeef68]

"and his movie set was just a few panels that they leaned up against a back wall, when not in use" And people actually think that the Poulter Mansion is a real place....LOL

[@timrassi3493]

Great video. I loved Creature Features then, and I love what you guys are doing with the show today.

[@kennethhummel4409]

Loved it! I used to watch Bob for years on cable tv. Bobs humor and guest’s always brought me back again and again.

[@dilemma2803]

that really says something about your team's dedication to the history of sci-fi movie hosting with regards to "creature features" . i love that you kept bob's theme song as a tribute to the 1st generation of the show but improved it with a treatment from your own days as a musical performer. your whimsically witty and educated banter and mr. livingston's stoicism and backup commentary as well as allowing tangella such freedom (with handrew and mr. livingston) at the mansion and around town really adds to the captivation of the show. the non-movie portions of the show are so smooth that it seems like very little is scripted. good job and good luck at the awards ceremony

[@anarchorepublican5954]

What an unexpected Treat‼️ Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎄 to the entire Household. 25th December 2023.

Creature Features was regularly watched by me and my family during its entire original run on KTVU 2.

[@nise5281]

What a fun neat guy!

[@RobHollanderMusic]

My fave night was when they were showing "Attack of the Mushroom People" and it was so bad that for the second half of the film Bob had left the studio and they would just cut to his chair with ash tray on the adjacent table with his still smoking cigar in it!

[@debw9351]

I remember that one 😂

[@urgemore]

"Creature Features" and "The Ghoul" (awesome, goofy, weirdo Ron Sweed hosting cheesy monster movies at midnight, i guess recorded in Chicago at the time) were two powerful fun shows I loved to watch by myself when I was eight or nine, 1971 or so. No one else in the house stayed up that late.

Nice graveyard in the thumbnail,,,reminds me of my old neighborhood,,I grew up across the street from our towns graveyard and we knew the people that were caretakers of it,,I played there as a kid and loved it...never once thought anything bad about it,,to me it was normal and relaxing,,,had some odd dreams later as an adult still sometimes do lol ,,my preschool was next to it too !!! 💀💀💀💀💀☠️☠️☠️☠️👍🤍🐙✌️

I was too young to appreciate Bob Wilkins, I started watching when John Stanley took over. I remember my Nana allowing to stay up late and watch CF when I was 5-6, it was on Fridays during those times if I remember correctly. I am hoping there will be footage of the interviews Wilkins had with many celebrities. I got back on the CF wagon when I rediscovered CF on KOFY in the Bay Area and was sad they were leaving for KZbin. I am glad they did! Congrats CF for lasting 50 plus years, kinda sorta.

I think the opening with Bob in Oakland '76 was a nod and wink to Alfred Hitchcock.

[@wmbriggz]

I remember a creature feature interview with Doug McClure….where he talked about his alcoholism and how that destroyed his career and damaged his life…the interviewer began by saying he was just expecting a “ let’s enjoy the old times “ type … so the next day he went back and verified that Mr McClure was ok. With having the interview shown… a great interview…. I followed his attempts at rebuilding his career and was so saddened by his early death…

Cool memories! As a kid, i knew it was cool to know the 'old' horror movie actors, part of the Horror History that came before. The Greats Lon Chaney Jr., Boris Karloff, Lagosi, Price, Lee...and as a middleschooler Alice Cooper fanatic, heavy metalhead, Marvel comic reader, (marvel always respected dc, and always refered to dc as "our Distinguished Competitor"), stayin' up late, tv to myself(w older brother), it didn't matter if the flick was a cheeseball bomb,,,,well, i never cared for the Japanese monster movies w horrible english dubbing lol! And i guess i just saw Wilkens as some polite nerdy host...kinda like pro rasslin' announcer Hank Renner! (Who in northr'n cali knows him?)
