The show may have ceased around 2011. Uncle Death works with Pete, the Director (Shayne Doherty) and Rob, the Assistant (Brian Wright). From the Fright Channel A Brief History of Uncle Death Uncle Death started off many thousands of years ago as Death, one of the original Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse (later to go on to greater success as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, when one of the members faced a tragic accident). By the late 1800's he had created a successful Vaudeville act that he later moved into motion pictures. In the 1930's and 40's he became an international superstar working in Horror Films. After a lull in his career and because of personal problems, Death resurfaced in the 1950's as a Children's Television Host and renamed himself Uncle Death. A major scandal caused him to be blackballed from Hollywood until the late 1960's when he came back again as a Late-night Horror TV Host. With the advent of videotape, and amidst even more personal problems, Uncle Death disappeared from the public eye and sank into a deep depression. In the late 1990's another scandal arose and Uncle Death was finally sentenced to prison. His punishment: spend 10 consecutive life sentences in Horror Haven where he must impart his (rather sketchy) knowledge of Horror Films upon the viewers of The Fright Channel. Now, with a new crew, new writers, and much more direct access to all kinds of alcohol, the new Uncle Death show is ready to prove to the viewers of local access cable that fear is a place, death has a face, and whiskey will cure any problem.
