I used to watch Dr. Creep as a kid growing up in Huber Heights, Ohio. Some of my fondest memories are of watching horror films hosted by Dr. creep and coming home from school and watching Clubhouse 22. I feel as though I've lost a friend and a part of my youth. What a legacy, to know that you are so fondly remembered by a generation. Although I'm long gone from Ohio, Dr. Creep won't be far from my heart. Rip my friend...

The photo that started it all my Brother Bryan and Dr. Creep
I have always been into Horror and Sci-Fi films and when I was around 5 or 6 my brother returned from school after a field trip to the old Kettering Theater with Transformers in hand (a prize he won) and he was telling me about meeting DR. CREEP. He could care less that Santa or McGruff The Crime Dog was there, it was all about the Horror Host. After talking about Dr. Creep for some time, our Mom let us stay up that weekend and watch our first episode of Shock Theater and we were both hooked....

R.I.P., Barry/Dr. Creep. You not only inspired a love for classic horror films but, by example, showed us all the importance of serving others. Your selfless acts of kindness are as much your legacy as the black and white make-up and top hat. Thank you for your amazing contributions of time, talent and compassion.

I am a 45 years old now, but I remember Dr. Creep well from watching Clubhouse 22 as a kid. Brings back many fond memories of my time growing up in Dayon. Rest in Peace.
