    READER SEEKS OLD DR. PAUL BEARER EPISODES

    Part 1:

    Nolan,
    Hi: Do you know where I can get copies (or if they even exist) of the old Creature Feature from WTOG in St. Pete? I contacted the station and they said they did not have an archives storage. I found your address surfing the web.

    Thanks!
    Erin [no last name]

    Dear Erin,
    Hello, and thanks so much for writing!

    You're email is representative of literally hundreds I get addressing the availability of old Creature Feature episodes. As you discovered, WTOG did NOT archive any of them. When they changed hands in the late '90s to the UPN Network, even more things were tossed out from storage.

    However...eBay has proven to be the best resource for buying old episodes from collectors.

    Sometime over the last two years, PCR special feature writer ED Tucker researched the most known extant episodes of "Creature Feature, starring your ghost, Dr. Paul Bearer".

    The results are here: http://www.crazedfanboy.com/creaturefeature/existing_eps.html

    Hope that helps!

    Yours in fandom,

    Part 2:

    Nolan,
    Thanks for getting back to me. It's such a shame that a video collection does not exist to honor this man. It is a great childhood memory of mine as well. My mother met him a few times as a sorority member of Beta Sigma Phi in St.Pete when I was a kid, and I'm sorry to say that he was too scary for me to meet and now I regret it. My family used to get all our chores done early Saturday mornings so we could hunker down in front of the TV for snacks and an afternoon of Creature Feature. Now in my 40s, I wish we had taped the shows too, but who knew.

    I appreciate your website and efforts! Keep up the good work!

    Sincerely,
    Erin
