Horror Host 2015 Retrospective: The Creeper

Real name: Jim Sullivan
Years active: 1965-1966


We've seen sidekicks take over for a departing host before (see John Stanley and Bob Wilkins), but here might be the first example I can find. Jim Sullivan started on Jeepers Creepers Theater on KCOP-TV Channel 13 with Bob Guy almost at the same time, usually acting as crew or extra.

When Guy finally quite, the show continued on for another year, with another host in charge. When that host left, Sullivan stepped in as the Creeper. He stayed on for another year,  but was eventually replaced with another. That will be covered in time.
