He advise me that his schedule was full and that he couldn't but as I left, he gave me a 35mm slide that the station used to go to commercial breaks. The slide had 'KCRA 3' and 'The Bob Wilkins Show' with a cartoon drawing of Bob's head on it. I still have it to this day. Thanks, Bob.

I'm not sure if horror hosts were just a North American thing, but according to Wiki it seems like they were: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_host It's very true that movies are a shared experience. I think that's why Iike I writing about them so much. Peter - Thank a lot for the encouragement! Dom - Thanks!

I know of "Chilly Billy" Cardille & Zacherley. Over here we've never had such a thing, no doubt because Britain only had 3 tv channels until the 1980s. The closest we ever got to a "horror host" on tv (that I know of) was a character called "Dr Terror" who briefly introduced horror film screenings on BBC1 for a few years in the 90s. Your dad would be so pleased that you're sharing the interest he shared with you with others. Part of what makes films so great is, like music, they bring people together in a shared experience.

When I heard that Bob Clark recently lost his life to a drunk driver it brought back a flood of memories about my dad since he suffered the same fate. It's a hard topic to talk about, but thankfully I have a lot of great memories to look back on. It's very true that films, much like music, are often connected to important events in our lives. Films can help us work through rough times and celebrate good times. It's really nice of you to think about sending Bob a card! Hopefully he'll get a bunch of them this week. Horror Hosts were so important in the days before VCRs, DVDs and computers and they don't get enough applause. Thanks for the nice comment Jeremy!

Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I am sorry that you lost your father so young, that must have been so incredibly hard. I think people that truly love films, as you and I obviously do, really do connect them to events and times in our lives. It can be a hard thing to translate to people but you have done a wonderful job here. I will drop Bob a Birthday card, I am very sorry to hear about his poor health, alzheimers is the saddest disease that can strike a person. Congrats on your blog's first year anniversary. I greatly enjoy it and look forward to all of your upcoming posts. Kimberly,
