From December 1957 through October 1959, Chicago TV viewers were held in thrall by Marvin, the ghoulishly hilarious host of WBKB-TV's late-night horror film series Shock Theatre. This history of Shock Theatre focuses on the series and its creator, Marvin himself - in real life, the multi-talented Terry Bennett. Terry's son Kerry Bennett provides an affectionate foreword, while celebrated horror host Count Gore De Vol (Dick Dyszel) supplies the afterword.
