Years active: 1973 to 1995
Now, here we have one of the bigger hosts in Florida, Dr. Paul Bearer. Staring out as Dr. Shockula in North Carolina (we'll get to him later), Mr. Bennick relocated to St. Petersburg and became the host of Creature Feature on WTOG Channel 44.
Floridians took to the mad doctor, who delighted the audience with not just bad movies (such as Attack of the Mushroom People or Death Curse of Tartu) but also music. The gravelly voiced mad doctor even earned his own day of recognition in Tampa. Sadly the show ended with Bennick's passing in 1995.
That isn't the end of the story though...
