The memory of The Dungeon´ s star M T Graves is still being remembered and shared today 2024 as clear as the fond memories of a young boy growing up in Miami during the early 1950s. Thank God he sent Charlie Baxter into this world to provide youngsters a brief moment of pure happiness and enjoyment never to be forgotten. The Goode, Thaysen, Rice and Pate boys

I was a card-carrying member of the Graves Diggers when he was on Channel 7 in the Dungeon. Loved him and glad I took the time to call him when he was a classical music personality in Miami and I was working at WIOD.

A good horror host (WCKT Channel 7 Miami) is like soldier they may fade but never die, Mr. Charlie Baxter aka "MT Graves" we are forever fans! Jimmy & Victor Acosta, Silver Bluff Elementary School, circa 1961

Grew up glued to tube if MT was on. Just, just, just a staple of growing up exposed to scary "stuff" in the funnist, safest, group of friends. Your Grandfather, father, husband, son, brother, friend impacted thousands of kids and we now share the best memories. May our sharing our pleasure help with your grieving.

Dear Charlie, you are my grandfather, I remember taking you to the nursing home in that small Tennessee town. I miss you even though I have very few memories of you. You are the best grandfather I ever had, I have a job now, a sophomore in high school, one day I will name my son after you, forever remember me, Ian rouse.

Charlie, May God have mercy on your soul and thank you so much for bring our entire family together every Saturday afternoon. I was a member of the Graves Diggers Club and even carried my membership card with me the whole time I was in Vietnam, If I was captured, I was going to show them my membership card and tell tell he was my father! Charlie thank for the great memories and give my regards to the Warden.....Semper Fi......John M

I remembered Charlie's birthday yesterday, Tuesday March 29, 2016. I posted a message about his birthday on The M.T. Graves Classics Comic Strip Group Site on Facebook. I still draw the comic strip now in 2016 in honor of Charlie Baxter. He asked me to draw it to keep M.T. Graves going for his fans. Billy Small suggested the title and Charlie loved it and Billy keeps the ideas flowing for me to draw. In 2013 I started writing the book "M.T. & ME & EVERYBODY! The Life & Times of M. T. Graves,...

I was watching an old horror movie, and remembered M. T. Graves from my youth in Miami. I was so glad to see so many others have kept his memory "undead" as well. Those shows instilled my lifelong love of horror films.
Mr. Baxter you were a true showman, rest in peace.
