Horror Host 2021 Retrospective: The Bargain City Kid & Willie Thall

Real names: Hy Ullner and Willie Thall

Years active: 1960s 


 Moving over to Cincinnati now. If you happened to be in town in the early 60's, you might have caught Shock Theatre on  WCPO-TV Channel 9. 

Why the Bargain City Kid? Because they were sponsored by Rink's Bargain City. Plus they also hosted wrestling on Saturday night, with the Bargain City Kid getting his arm broken by none other than the Sheik. 

A cowboy and a dude in a hat. They had music and wackiness alongside the Universal films. The kind of silliness you could only catch on local late night TV.
