Bob Wilkins R.I.P.

“Our second film is Monster From the Ocean Floor. This movie is so bad that it was delivered to Channel 2 in a brown paper bag. When we’re through showing it tonight, it will be part of a garage sale in Alameda tomorrow.”
Bob Wilkins was this incredible host of a late night horror television show back in the 1970s. And he really hated horror movies, which made the show all the more sublime.
As a kid, forcing myself to stay up late to watch his show led me to this life of staying up all night drawing fonts. His dry wit predated David Letterman by many, many years.
He passed away January 7.
