[@sammyday3341]

I grew up watching this. Great times.

[@stevepeanutbutter6854]

Thats a classic. The best from WXIX 19. Cool ghoul & batty hatty from Cincinnati 🎉

[@teresahardy9962]

He came to my school. Such a nice guy.

[@dragon21a]

I love how he says groovy and gives a peace sign really shows you how long ago this was i love it i love the 60s and 70s and to have this from right here in my own area where i live its great

[@DarkEmpressRose]

I remember seeing him all the time at the richwood flea market. He was such a kind person.

[@mrmanx2]

i watched this and loved it.

[@1060michaelg]

Hattie the Witch from "Larry Smith Puppet Club", Larry was a pioneer.

[@davidsharpe9946]

I loved watching Cool Ghoul in Cincinnati Ohio and Dr Creep in Dayton Ohio growing up in the 60's & 70's. And it would be nice if they would release there videos on DVD. I didn't get to watch those guys after my parents moved our family to Texas in 1977. I watch Svengooli on Saturday Night on MeTv. He is cool to watch. And I like Tales from the Crypt and Elvira. They to are funny and very good horror movie TV host to watch. Tales from the Crypt his laugh and horror movie jokes awesome. Svengooli Elvira and the Crypt you can get on DVD. But they should put Cool Ghoul and Dr. Creep on DVD as well. Because I would buy them if they were available.

I guess anyone in their 30s and and older in the Cincinnati tristate remembers the Cool Ghoul. He was one of a kind, and a Cincinnati fixture. It's just not Halloween without him. RIP Dick.

[@soldieroffreedom9640]

alman54 oh yeah, I remember " Scream In".......with the Cool Ghoul, 9:00 pm channel 17 in Cincinnati. I was 16 years old and every Saturday night I would pop popcorn and plop in front of my black and white TV and enjoyed the fun. No matter how old i get, I will always love and remember the Cool Ghoul!

[@Sticky_Ricky]

24 here, I remember him a little bit, but I definitely remember when he passed away. He was the first person I had ever heard of passing away, so his death literally taught me about death.

[@boomersdad3923]

The Cool Ghoul came on at 9 on Saturday night then at 11 we got a twilight zone rerun and at 11: 30 we goy Roller Derby . Channel 19 in the mid 70s .

[@newmanoutdoors1564]

[@virginiacurtis4930]

I love the Cool Ghoul and Hattie the Cincinnati

[@jlcarey1]

He interviewed me about 10 years ago when I worked at St. Rita's Haunted House. I was in full costume and he was the 'Cool Ghoul' again. He was a cool guy. I was sorry to hear he passed.

[@jawoody9745]

A lot of GREAT MEMORIES! Thanks for posting our late and great Dick Von Hoene (spelling?) I watched the Cool Ghoul religiously on weekend nights. Between him, and Bob Shreve, I would laugh my ass off, when I was 10, 11 years old, and later! I still have many fond memories of Cincinnati television. I'm thankful that it was there for me during the late night, early morning hours!

[@Joekerrlll]

between 1968-1974 it was a battle to watch cool ghul or dr creep... hatty the witch or club house 22... but hell you aint no buckeye if ya don't remember skipper ryle!!!!!!

[@bsharp61]

oh my God...growing up..first thing you'd do when u got off the school bus was turn on Baddy Hattie from Cinncinnati...Teaser, Snarfie are Dog..Nasty ole Thing...all the cartoons..especially Speed Racer...wow..I wish someone would post more Larry Smith's puppets...and the Cool Ghoul...Friday nights...hosted scary movies right before Fright Night would come on and show more scary movies...those were the simple days...what a rush of memories,,,,,

[@cedarhillpublishing6703]

We lived about 50 miles outside of Cincinnati and could barely get 19. Fortunately, on certain nights, dad could adjust the antenna, and we could get Cool Ghoul. It was awesome.

[@younghoss2877]

I met this fellow in a bar in Sharonville about 1980. Not in makeup, but a very nice fellow.

[@pellelindbergh7483]

Man, I thought I imagined this as a kid.

[@lucindahaitz3992]

Brings back good memories!

[@tyroned532]

wow.. i remembeer that all too well.. those days were so important to me...almost makes you want to cry..

[@magla345]

watched him every saturday night when i was 11-12. the wind had to be blowing a certain way for us to get good reception. channel 19 was the coolest tv station ever, nothing today is anywhere as much fun.

[@davidsharpe4714]

Cool Ghoul on channel 19 in Cincinnati Ohio and Dr. Creep on channel 22 in Dayton Ohio were two of the best horror movie TV host , and after school cartoon TV host for the kids. There both very much missed. I loved watching them both. Either after school watching cartoons or the horror movies on the week ends. They both passed away pretty close together. And they will both be very much missed may they RIP

[@Rhino888S]

You're just pissed because Jack's lens was bigger than yours.

[@jasonthegreat777]

Did some Magic for him when he was on ICN 6 , very nice guy

[@mattcarius3696]

I had an autographed photo of Mr. Von Hoene and im not sure what ever happend to it, wish i could find it.

[@mattness615]

I used to live on the same street as the Cool Ghoul as a kid. I would play with his daughters all the time.

[@MariaPaula-bt3lc]

Just saw they bulldozed that groovy house. 😐

[@observerofmadnessinternati6255]

I think that "Svengoolie" from Metv was sort of influenced by him.

[@8462zitt]

So awesome! Thanks for reviving the memories!

[@hhhankster]

I used to work with Larry's twin brother Gary, at 3 Rivers Jr. High School back in the day. He was a teacher there back in the 70's. I think he was somewhat ashamed of the job that his twin brother had. Larry very seldom ever got paid much money and had to rely on others help him out.

[@hoosierhiver]

Oh man, he was my favorite. Haddy the Witch used to get blown up every Friday the 13th.

[@djpapachris]

It was actually "HATTIE"

[@Caseytify]

I forgot about that!

[@marclayne9261]

I grew up with these great shows....

[@whitecrow255]

LOVE THIS

[@tuttt99]

RIP Dick von Hoene. You were outta sight!!

[@susandougherty2579]

tele "wision" ???

[@jongoldey3842]

Does anyone know if there is a clip of Cash’s big bargain barn?

[@newmanoutdoors1564]

Where you save Cash With Cash

[@jongoldey3842]

I have searched. With no luck. When you try to tell people about the commercial and they think you are making it uo. I'm also looking for Harry's Carpet..." I dont care a out making money, I just love to sell carpet"

[@GeraldWatercrest]

Dang...I wish I could find more Cool Ghoul videos.

[@batesy1970]

Hey there! I started a little appreciation page for the Cool Ghoul on Facebook. If you are on Facebook please check it out and join it if you are so inclined! Would love for you to post some stories about Scream-in (behind the scenes stuff). Look for the "Cool Ghoul Appreciation Society". Cheers!

[@PoxyBear]

@bandibreath You rock just for remembering Creature Feature! Black Scorpion, Gargoyles, Frogs, Valley of Gwangi. Oh those were the days.

[@charleswalters5284]

Creature creature creature creature Feature feature feature feature....

[@Rhino888S]

"I always thought about that ..." (smile)

[@vjhhhhjjj1951]

was it tweezer the mouse???

[@kkaucher]

Teaser the Mouse, he was partnered with Rudy the Rooster - Rudy and Teaser.

[@1060michaelg]

Anyone remember how your antennae could pull in channel 7 Dayton if the atmosphere was right or whatever. Channel 7 had great movies. Bob Shreve Nite Owl Theater did too on channel 5 on Saturday nights (I THINK it was Sat. nights, that's going back to 1970 for me).

[@hoosierhiver]

remember Snarfy the dog?

[@tuttt99]

Snarfie R Dog

[@Rspenesmit]

@@tuttt99 Yes I use to get home from school everyday and watch Hattie the Witch show, and Cool Ghoul on weekends, then the Past Prime Playhouse I think was the name, with I believe Bob Shreve, can't remember exactly and Paul dixon in the mornings.

[@VamboVambo]

I remember this guy as when I was a kid. He was a bit lame, but you had to be back then. If you remember Alice Cooper & Frank Zappa were way over the edge with their music and comedy. All of these videos here really bring back my Cincinnati childhood memories.

[@cyberdogg2007]

The brothers in South Avondale would watch the Kool Ghoul while smoking weed and drinking Orange Flip.

[@jltboca]

Happy Birthday!

[@debfred6997]

How can I get a few clips of the cool ghoul on a disk so I can give it to my boyfriend for Christmas??? It would be the perfect gift because we went to grade school together and both loved the cool ghoul..

[@crossbow1203]

Down load Real Player. Real player downloader will allow you to down load most of what you need straight from KZbin. Then you can burn it on a dvd.

[@TheBoneRanger1968]

Need more Hattie and the gang

[@theenlightenedexchange4817]

Mr rogers neighborhood lol

[@Rhino888S]

CactusJack, what was the point of that post??? You KNOW you felt left out ...

[@10Gertrude10]

How much do you want for the poster? I'm willing to buy it for almost any price (if it's in good shape)if you are willing to part with it. I can't one find one on e-bay so, I know it must be worth a lot.

[@theenlightenedexchange4817]

Hahaha that's funny I guess that wicked lady was a witch leaving her kid n the basement

[@VideoMusicManiacPlace]

I watched as a young teen and loved it. I found his album on-line. It should still be available. Goolin Around, Dwaine

[@bedfordcushing]

Dick Von Hoene and Larry Smith - worked w/you both - RIP! :)

[@ryanbarker5217]

i'll stick with dr. creep

[@CincinnatiNostalgia]

O.K., who is Gene Wimmer?

[@VamboVambo]

I remember back in the early 70's, Larry Smith hung out at The Side Door Lounge in downtown Cincinnati. He used to get really drunk a lot and go home with other men. I always thought about that and could not imagine what strange ideas on his show, he was placing in children's minds.

[@Towerbrian23]

I went to school with his niece.

[@Rhino888S]

Haha, you should write for Seinfeld!

[@johnnybananarama1863]

He looks creepy AF

[@smalltribe]

My daughter is distance relation to the Cool Ghoul!!!

[@DorisTurg1]

[@theebadnun]

[@denisespurlock]

Sammy Terry out of Indianapolis is much better.
