He was the BBC's first and only horror host. Tonight I present Dr. Terror, host of Dr. Terror's Vault of Horror and Dr. Terror Presents on England's BBC 1 Channel. The doctor was played by Guy Henry who underwent an arduous 4 stint in the make-up chair with each filming; sporting one of the most elaborate horror host guises. Guy Henry is more recently known for his role as Pius Thicknesse in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2. He began his horror hosting career as Dr. Walpurgis on a BBC Halloween Special in 1992. His weekly show began in 1993 after receiving a name change to Dr. Terror; he hosted the uncut version of Curse of the Werewolf for the first time on British TV. His show featured the Hammer library of films as well as other American color horror classics.
