Professor Cerberus
Real name: Greg Bransom
Years active: 1973-1975, Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Moving ahead yet while staying in the past, we find
ourselves looking at Professor Cerberus. Curator of the Museum of Horrors on KXAS channel 5. Instead of the standard
vampire, Bransom played Professor Cerberus as more like a Victorian scientist,
aided and abetted by the standard issued hunchback, Frankenstein Monster, a
Wolf Man, and someone named Uncle Creepy, all played by various assistants and
writers.
Like many other hosts, surviving video footage is
nonexistent. The Museum of Horrors
seemed to be bounced around the schedule, airing sometimes after Saturday Night Live, but finally ending
up on Saturday afternoon. Bransom would continue on Dallas television,
especially in the 1980’s, but those tales are for another day.
