Years active: 1964 to 1968
Shock Armstrong, the All-American Ghoul, was the regional host of Shock Theatre on WTVT Channel 13 in Tampa and St. Petersburg, although the show continued to 1974 without a host.
He was actually the second host, picking up where Ed and Peg Scott left off in 1961. In stepped Paul Reynolds, Channel 13's go to ghoul and groovy guy and soon the All-American Ghoul was a hit, at least until 1967 when they decided that the Joey Bishop Show was more entertaining. A fan protest brought him back, but Reynolds left in 1968 for the Atlanta market.
Reynolds passed away in 1996.
