The opening of Shock Theatre was stock footage of a full moon with wisps of clouds as Todd Hunter announced the following: "It is the hour of terror. It is the hour of doom. It is time for Shock. When werewolves walk the streets, and monsters roam the countryside. And tonight our story..".—The Professor
