Horror Host 2017 Retrospective: Simon

Real name: Gary Newton
Years active: 1970-1973



Here's a host who managed to be in two states at the same time. Simon, of Simon's Sanctorum, was aired in both Boston on WCVB Channel 5 and in St. Louis on KPLR Channel 11. He was very much cut in the Edgar Allan Poe mold, often speaking poems to his unseen 'Devoted'. There doesn't seem to be that much footage of the show, but fans remember.
