Dr. Gruesome's Movie Morgue starred Mark Bartholomew as Dr. Gruesome and Matthew Pak as Skeeter, his rainbow-wigged hunchback assistant.

First conceived as children's programming, the station wisely moved the show to late night and cornered the late night audience.

The show's set resembled a laboratory with fake brick walls adorned with a bizarre array of off-beat toys. Dr. Gruesome was a silver-haired, silver-tongued host whose monologues were uttered at break-neck speed with rapid-fire precision.
