Replay: Sammy Terry
I am reposting my blog from November 2012 after learning that actor Bob Carter "Sammy Terry" passed away on June 30, 2013.
Halloween has passed, but leading up to the date, several commercials from a local TV station featured Sammy Terry. Sammy Terry is a local TV personality. For many years during the 1980s, he hosted a late-night Friday show called Nightmare Theater. As a kid, I was given permission to stay up late on Friday nights. I recall watching many classic horror movies (and many forgotten horror movies) hosted by Sammy Terry on a little, 13" black and white TV. I'm not really into horror movies anymore, and some of the ones shown during Nightmare Theater I watched again parodied on MST3K. Still, it is with a fondness that I recall those late nights in my room, the black and white TV flickering with the rabbit ears capturing the signal.
