MILTON dares viewers to miss movies on Peoria's WMBD-TV
Peoria viewers who watched the premiere of Nightmare on WMBD-TV about a year ago were surprised, shocked and startled. A small glowing blob of spectral white appeared in the middle of a black screen, weaving uncertainly as it grew larger. "You are calling me .... I am stronger, stronger, strong," a ghostly voice announced as the blob became an eerily-lit face. "I am the embodiment of your evil thoughts ... thoughts you have not dared to think until now." The effect was (and is) reminiscent of the old Inner Sanctum and Lights Out shows. "You have always wanted to see these movies," he taunts, "... Now miss them-if you can!" When WMBD-TV began operations in January, 1958, one of the first problems was finding a host for the station's Saturday night shock films. Milton Budd, who'd portrayed a sardonically cruel devil at grid dinners for many years, seemed the natural choice. Actually the pleasant radio veteran doesn't resemble the Nightmare host a bit. A native of Peoria (he and his wife still live in nearby Pekin), he grew into a job at WMBD radio in the early '30s. For 25 years he's endeared himself to the people of Central Illinois as an announcer and deejay. He still does several radio record shows each week. In line with his midnight spook-taculars Milt's gone so far as to introduce his "son"-a ghostly bit of hokum photography superimposing his head in his hand! Is it any wonder the midnight madness continues? Not really. And who can say how long the Halloween hilarity will go on. Frankenstein will be 143 years old next summer-and the old boy's still going strong.
