Sir Graves Ghastly



Sir Graves Ghastly was my Horror Host.

He was portrayed by Lawson Deming on Detroit TV from the late 60's to the early 80's.

My sister used the threat of Sir Graves to scare the crap out of me throught my childhood. I can vividly remember continuing to play in my sandbox after my Mom had called me in for dinner a few times, and having my sister came out to tell me that if I didn't come in right now that Sir Graves was going to pull me under the sand forever. Needless to say I ran screaming inside, I don't think I ever went back to that sandbox, and that's probably why to this day I spend most of my time indoors!

Be sure to check out Keith Milford's wonderful site Sir Graves Ghastly.com

Scott, you have outdone yourself on this one, dear heart! Just beautiful! Sir Graves would be proud. Thanks so much for doing it, and thanks for the Ghastly plug, too! :)

Mind if I share this on the website (full credit and linkage included, of course)?

Keep up the great work fellow Grave Digger!

Duh, meant "Rob" there, not Scott. Sorry. I'm dead, I'm all messed up today.

Uh, but why do you call this blog ScOttRa, though? What's that mean? :)

Thanks for the comments Keith, and thanks for keeping Sir Graves out there!

I'd be honored to have the image on SG.com!

As far as ScOttRa goes, it's my last name and my initials, although interestingly enough I understand it is also an ancient name of Scotland as well.

And one last plug, for those of you who aren't familiar with Keith's site "Old Haunts" do yourself a favor and pop on over for a visit.
(Unfortunately you can't link it the comments section, so cut and paste it is!)

Go Here:

It is hands down one of my favorite sites on the inter-webs.
