"BOO THEATRE"

"Boo Theatre" with Harold Gunn as "Count Harold" presenting movies on Friday nights during the 1970's (the exact dates are not known) on KRIV, Channel 26, Houston, Texas. The show's opening - a great black light paintings of a frightened man who speaks in a creepy echo box voice effect, "Oh-No. It's happening again!" Then in a series of dissolves into artwork he would rip off his face and reveal his grinning skull underneath. When the last frame froze, the fleshy skull with one eye would intone - "Boo Theatre...it's an EYE-Ball!!"

There are no know clips or photographs of the show or "Count Harold".
