Dr. Paul Bearer (Dick Bennick) was a horror movie host for many years in North Carolina and Florida. We remember him here for "Shock Theatre" which was on WGHP in High Point, back in the late 60's and early 70's. He was a character! He drove a hearse around.
Perhaps you have heard of him.
Here is an interesting interview with him which I am sure you will enjoy:
