Bob Wilkins
Bob Wilkins (born Robert Gene Wilkins; April 11, 1932 – January 7, 2009) was a television personality. Wilkins was the creator and host of the popular television show '' Creature Features'' that ran on KTVU in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1971 to 1984. The programming on ''Creature Features'' featured science fiction and horror films, ranging from classics such as ''Bride of Frankenstein'' to B-grade obscurities like ''The Vulture''. Wilkins' wit was very dry; it fit very well with the outrageously awful horror films he hosted. His approach suggested an aficionado's taste for genre cinema. His trade marks were his droll humor, his omnipresent cigar, and sitting in his iconic rocking chair. KCRA-3 and KTXL-40 in Sacramento Wilkins started his on-camera television career in 1963 at KCRA-TV Channel 3 in Sacramento, California. He was writing and producing commercials for the station when he was tapped to be a fill-in host for an afternoon movie show in 1964. Wilkins ...
