Real name: Jim Carlisle
Years active: 1968 to 1969
Nearing the end for this year's horror hosts. This time we look a truly unique host in Georgia. V-Man, blasting off to host Blast Off on WRBL-TV Channel 3 in Columbus.
V-Man was odd when compared to the other hosts we've seen this year. First, his show ran Monday through Friday afternoons. Quite a few hosts had weekly shows, but the traditional hosts were a once-a-week thing. He was also a kind of superhero/astronaut rather than a typical vampire/ghoul, etc.
He also had a neat gimmick in that he presented the films he showed as being real/documentaries, even the old serials.
Jim Carlisle passed away in 1988.
"Peace to the Universe!"
