In this issue I pay tribute to legendary Dayton, Ohio horror host Dr. Creep, aka Barry Hobart. At the time I wrote this Barry was sick in a coma at the hospital. I had heard from good freind and fellow horror host A. Ghastlee Ghoul that Barry probably wouldn't make it through, and thought I'd pay tribute by transcribing my interview with him from July, 2001. Long live the memory of Dr. Creep! Click to enlarge pages.

Rest In Peace, Dr. Creep
It is with a heavy heart I report that Dayton Ohio horror host legend Dr. Creep has passed away. Creep, a.k.a. Barry Hobart, had been hosting horror movies in the Dayton OH area since the 1970s. He was a truly remarkable man, kind beyond words and giving to a fault. He started his own charity organization for needy children called Project Smiles. I had the honor of meeting and interviewing him in 2001. He will be missed.
