He is most notably recognized as being "Lycanthropy's Noblest Son". Tonight I present Baron Von Wolfstein, host of Baron Von Wolfstein presents Saturday Night with the Monsters on WTTV Channel 4 in Indianapolis, IN. The show ran from April 1, 1978 to December 30, 1978. In its heyday, the Baron's show commanded an audience of 58,000, including one impressionable young horror host that we know today as A. Ghastlee Ghoul. Wolfstein's alter ego and best friend is the oddly omniscient Timothy Francis Herron, B.G.G. As a youth, Herron was so enthralled by Famous Monsters magazine that he began creating haunted rooms for school carnivals. In 1971, Herron created the WSAI & Sycamore-Deer Park Jaycees Haunted House for charity, an inaugural event that proved so successful that it spawned the haunted attraction movement. Can you imagine Halloween without Haunted Houses? Thank you Baron Von Wolfstein!
