Eddie Driscoll was a television celebrity on WLBZ-TV Channel 2 in Bangor, Maine from the mid 1950's until he retired in 1987; hosting a variety of shows including a number of horror and science fiction movie shows including "Shock Theatre", "Weird", Weird II" and "Outer Limits". Driscoll's first stint as a horror host was as "Moldy", the host of "Shock Theatre", which ran from autumn 1962, that ended after a short time. His next stint as a horror host was as "Uncle Gory", "Krandal", and "Zog", the hosts of "Weird", from the mid 1960's until 1967. "Uncle Gory" was a hunchback with one eye. The movies were presented from his underground crypt. When the show screened science fiction movies, Driscoll would present them as "Krandal", the Martian; from his spaceship. "Krandal" had a bulbous head, with three eyes and antennae. He carried a ray gun and was dressed in a black body leotard. "Krandal" had guests and included a honeymooning couple from Venus, and a small creature named "Re-creation". Around 1982 would see Driscoll return as the horror host of "Weird II". It is not known if Driscoll was a costumed host or not. After "Weird II", possibly in the early to mid 1980's, Driscoll would host his final horror movie show "Outer Limits"; and again it is not known if Driscoll was a costumed host or not.
