Real name: Russ Coglin
Years active: 1957-1958
We're winding down the countdown and this should be the last lost host. Terrence hosted Nightmare Theater on KRON-TV Channel 4 in San Fransisco. The show started in 1957, but the end is simply a guess.
Russ Coglin, who went on to do voice work for various Jay Ward series, hosted the show. He was just that, a voice. Terrence existed only in voice over, with no skits or other promotional work to be found. In fact the only notable thing I could find was the riot he caused.
In 1957 he announced "Berkeley believers will meet at the Big C at midnight", causing a thousand plus fans dressed as vampires to rush the UC at Berkeley's campus, necessitating the arrival of over 30 policemen to break the gathering up.
