Horror Host Retrospective: Count Murray

Real name: Jim Bernhardt, credited as Jerry Bernstein

Years active: 1985 to 1988


A Jewish vampire? Seriously, it's in the show's credits. Airing in Albany on WTSG-TV Channel 31, the Count Murry Show had parodies and contests aplenty. 

I suppose the most notable thing was how the show ended. A few hosts would react to their show ending, but Count Murry actually had a whole bit where he was kicked out of the station and forced to walk the street looking for work. 

Bit of a sad ending now that I think about it.
