Another person who brought fond memories of my childhood in the 70's-early 80's was a character played by Mr. Lawson Deming called, "Sir Graves Ghastly". Mr. Deming died on Friday, April 27, 2007 at the age of 94 years. My Saturday afternoons, once my weekly chores were done, were filled with memories of watching this delightful and sometimes scary (depending on what movie he was showing that afternoon) movies (Bella Lugosi as Dracula Boris Karloff as Frankenstein); these were the standard movies he showed; Sir Graves started to introduce those horror movies with Christopher Lee and Vincent Price...thats when it got really scary.....There is a website dedicated to this beloved Count and what he brought to countless youth in Metro Detroit while I was growing up. Now those were the scariest movies to watch!
