In 1963, a young man named Ron Sweed wore a gorilla suit to a live Ghoulardi appearance; Ghoulardi took notice and the rest is history. Tonight I present The Ghoul, host of the Ghoul show which first aired on WKBF-TV in Cleveland, Ohio in 1971. After a few years, the show's incredible popularity garnered it another audience in Detroit, Michigan on WKBD-TV. The Ghoul is known for his zany antics such as his blowing up objects with firecrackers and abusing his rubber frog named "Froggy". He coined many catch phrases such as "Overdey!", "Scratch glass and climb walls", and "Holy Parma", among others. Let me offer you a few words of warning in case you ever meet The Ghoul, be sure that your Cheese Whiz is secured in a safe place and don't be offended if he happens to belch at just the right time while watching a movie with him. So "Stay sick, turn blue" and tune in tomorrow. In 2014, Ron Sweed - "The Ghoul" for "The Ghoul Show", was inducted into "The Official Horror Host Hall of Fame". Dale Kowalski played "Spike Who Ride A Bike" on "The Ghoul" (WCLQ-TV) around 1982-1983.
