Creature Features (1971)
One of my favorite memories of growing up.
This was my Dad and I's weekly time to bond over Sci-Fi and horror movies. Bob Wilkins was such a great pairing as a host and it was easy to see he loved the genre. He was also Captain Cosmic in costume on daytime TV, playing all my favorite Ultraman episodes.
You could always count on Creature Features to present a horror or Sci-Fi classic B-movie. It's where I first watched "the Day the earth Stood Still". Bob would sit, smoking a cigar in his rocking chair commenting as an aficionado with a very dry sense of humor that was perfect to introduce some truly cheezy movies . He would sometimes have guests on and run trailers of upcoming movies in theaters. It is actually the first place many people in the S. F bay area saw the trailer for "Star Wars".
