Sammy Terry

The scary looking guy to the left is Sammy Terry. If you grew up in the midwest, there's a good chance that you watched and enjoyed him as he hosted "Nightmare Theater" out of Indianapolis back in the mid 60's through the 80's.

I used to love staying up late to watch the monster movies that he presented. Thanks to Sammy and his "Nightmare Theater," I discovered the classics ("Bride of Frankenstein," "The Thing," "Creature from the Black Lagoon" and many others]. Sammy would come on to introduce the movie and tell bad jokes... he would then be back after commercial breaks with more bad jokes... and of course, he would end each show wishing everyone "pleasant nightmares."

I was happy to find a site dedicated to Sammy, the scariest guy that we all loved!
