"Shock Theater" was a hosted horror movie show with Pete Myers as "Mad Daddy" presenting movies Saturday nights on WJW-8, Cleveland, Ohio, beginning 12 Apr 1958. "Mad Daddy" would wear a vampire type cape. He requested that the studio hang a camera from the ceiling so that he would look like he was upside down. The studio declined, so from time to time "Mad Daddy" would hang upside down.—The Professor
