Bo...I just received word and posted my own tribute. Bob was not only a horror phenomenon for monster kids in the Bay Area with a good antenna or cable, but also for us in the Stockton and Sacramento areas of northern California through KTXL Channel 40. He truly made my childhood and helped nurture my love for the horrid and fantastic. With his passing a piece of my childhood goes with him. He will be missed.John W.

So sorry to ...Woke up late and checked my rss feed. So sorry to hear about Mr. Wilkins. For 2 years of my youth i lived in San Rafael. Creature Features was my entrance to a wonderful world. Even though my family moved back to N.Y. in 1977, I had never forgotten the name nor the theme song to those late, late wide eyed nights. <BR/>I had a memorial tattoo made today for the beloved host who piqued my interest at that young age. my prayers go out to his family and cheers to you Mr. Wilkins. Into the great beyond!D.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05777504356871329636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-70828320625363182412009-01-08T17:43:00.000-08:002009-01-08T17:43:00.000-08:00I've been a deep fan of anime and Japanese culture...I've been a deep fan of anime and Japanese culture for nearly 30 years, and it's almost entirely thanks to Captain Cosmic, and particularly this show was what opened my eyes:<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAMrVMA8bZw<BR/><BR/>Bob's show changed my life and made me who I am today in ways I can't even begin to explain, as did your contribution to understanding the Japanese origins of the programming. I thank you both and will deeply miss Bob. I'll never forget his show.rockettubeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365648094650566904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-61231655896889398172009-01-08T10:36:00.000-08:002009-01-08T10:36:00.000-08:00wow, what a charming guy he was! would've liked to...wow, what a charming guy he was! would've liked to have had him for our town's horror host(Houston). i can't even remember the name of the guy we had here, just his sidekick- Melvin, the Dummy Mummy!Prof. Grewbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132543249418576650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252368450821139612.post-10015443767511809462009-01-07T17:14:00.000-08:002009-01-07T17:14:00.000-08:00Sorry to hear the sad news.
