Bob Wilkins, who hosted KCRA's SEVEN ARTS THEATER and KTVU's CREATURE FEATURES, both with dry wit and ubiquitous cigar, passed away Wednesday at the age of 76.
Damn...first Forry Ackerman, then Bob Wilkins, both horror/sci-fi icons of my youth...:cry: ...rest well, Bob...I'll light a cigar for you...:cry:

OH MAN, that is so sad, I loved the guy as host of creature features on KTVU in S.F./ Oakland where I watched him every saturday night. .

R.I.P., Bob Wilkins. Between you and Uncle Forry, my teen years wouldn't have been as "educational". :(
