"Shockwatch" was a hosted horror movie show with Fred Briggs as "Gaylord" presenting movies on Saturday nights at 11:15pm on WSAZ-TV Channel 3 Huntington, West Virginia between 1959 till about 1960. From E-gors Chamber of TV Horror Hosts web page: "Gaylord was a ghoulish figure with sunken black eyes in a craggy white face, dressed in black cape and top hat, named Gaylord, played by WSAZ news announcer Fred Briggs. His character was grimly sardonic and deliberately ghoulish. He played the keyboards and cracked bad puns with gravelly sincerity. His motto was "Have Casket, Will Travel!" In less than two years, Briggs left WSAZ; the station dropped "Shockwatch" after he departed".—The Professor
