		One Friday night, Ghoulardi was born, full-grown-a spooky gent in moustache, goatee beard and fright wig, lit only by a spotlight shining up from the floor.
		When a frightened heroine opened a door to face a monster, she saw instead a film of an old toothless man contorting his face into impossible proportions (he was the winner of a "gurning" contest), while "Pap-pa Oom Mow Mow" blared from the TV speakers.
		Seven doses of Ghoulardi per week was great for the fans, but it got to be a bit taxing for Anderson.

	Ghoulardi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ghoulardi was a fictional character invented and portrayed by disc jockey, voice announcer, and actor Ernie Anderson, as the host of late night Shock Theater at WJW-TV, Channel 8, in Cleveland, Ohio from 1963 through 1966.
		Ghoulardi’s costume was a long lab coat covered with “slogan” buttons, horn-rimmed sunglasses with a missing lens, fake Van Dyke beard and moustache, and various messy, awkwardly-perched wigs.
		Ghoulardi spared no unhip targets: the inhabitants of Parma, Ohio and Oxnard, California, bandleader Lawrence Welk and polka music, Cleveland television personalities Mike Douglas and Dorothy Fuldheim, plus other public figures.

	TV ACRES: Horror Show Hosts - Ghoulardi/Ernie Anderson (Ghoulardi)
		Ghoulardi was played by Ernie Anderson, a former deejay who reveled in putting down his Friday night late movies (calling them "Bombs").
		In fact, Ghoulardi at times edited himself into a movie scene so he could be part of the action, like running from monsters or interacting with the cast of a Flash Gordon serial.
		The Ghoulardi show became so popular that the Cleveland Police reported crime on Friday night was far lower that any other night of the week with juvenile crime dropping some thirty-five percent during the show's broadcast.

	Look What I Found In My Brain!: Ghoulardi
		Ghoulardi made fun of the elderly Fuldheim's somewhat gaudy appearance and would drop her photograph into skits and movie scenes where actors were reacting with horror or morbid curiosity to something.
		Ghoulardi was a strong influence on artists as diverse as Drew Carey and The Cramps.
		And Ghoulardi was an enormous influence on filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, since Ghoulardi was his doting father.

	Ghoulardi - Lessons in Mayhem from the 1st Age of Punk
		Ghoulardi was the Flibberty Jib Man - Ken Nordine's drifter who enchants the populace of a town with nothing more than the sound of his voice.
		The B-movie was for Ghoulardi a canvas, an open invitation to spread mayhem, and generally engage in ransacking any sense of good taste, worthiness or respectability that local TV might aspire to.
		Certainly we, the Ghoulardi Kids, could have, and eventually did, encounter this form of sur-reality in various literary and art traditions, but we were introduced to the basics from some guy on the TV, at a young age, unencumbered with the baggage of pretension, elitism or dogma.

	On the Media
		REX DOANE: With raunchy R&B records blasting in the background, exploding fireworks and his own cryptic commentary, Ghoulardi achieved a level of anarchic reverie rarely seen on television.
		MICHAEL WELDON: Ghoulardi was using the sort of beatnik sick humor that was around at the time which was very negative.
		REX DOANE: To the chagrin of his teenage viewers, and to the delight of the local PTA, Ghoulardi left Cleveland in 1966 to embark on a long and profitable voiceover career in Los Angeles.

	Ghoulardi!! -- The Buffy Cross & Stake Main Board
		Ghoulardi was Ernie Anderson, who moved to Los Angeles around 1970 and did about half the commercial voiceover work on TV from then until his death (his most famous piece would have been the intro to "The Love Boat").
		After Ghoulardi pulled up stakes, his spot was taken by his former straight man, Chuck Shadowski, known universally as "Big Chuck," and Bob Houlihan, a weatherman at the station broadcasting the show.
		I have very hazy memories of Ghoulardi's show - more a memory of a feeling, of a certain way to be funny, than of specific moments.

		Intrigued by the persona -- alternately dubbed "Professor Ghoulkoff" and "Ghoulardo" -- the TV station borrowed it and christened it "Ghoulardi." The character's Fu Manchu mustache and funny glasses became trappings for the wildly popular B-movie host personified by staff announcer Ernie Anderson.
		From 1963-'67, Anderson as Ghoulardi ragged on the films and blew up stuff in a starched-shirt town badly in need of a wrinkle.
		Ron Sweed, who plays Ghoulardi knockoff the Ghoul on Channel 55, clearly remembers Gulko from the inaugural 1997 Ghoulardifest: He was the guy "running around and yelling "I've been ripped off,' talking to anybody that had a video camera.

		The Ghoulardi book was amazing in telling of all the Ernie Anderson facts-and I didn't realize that the others creators of Ghoulardi were Shelly Saltman,Ralph Gulko,Big Chuck and Bob Soinski.I realize now that Ron Sweed was really involved in the Ghoulardi days-and even the early Hoolihan/Big Chuck days.
		He has been on the air longer than Ghoulardi and the Ghoul combined and, unlike the Ghoul is still on the air.
		Ghoulardi would be a forgotten memory if not for the efforts of the Son of Ghoul locally and Drew Carey nationally.

		While the Ghoul does an okay Ghoulardi impression, and his heart is certainly in the right place, he cannot match the genuine suavity and native wit of Ernie Anderson.
		Ghoulardi it is. Not only bad movies, but Ernie Kovacs-inspired flout sketches, heavily made-up people filmed upside-down lip-synching to doo-wop (gotta love those hyphens) and Big Chuck and Houlihan starring in "Parma Place", replete with white socks and accordians.
		Ghoulardi had a short run in Cleveland (2-3 years), but had a fairly long run as an announcer in Hollywood (I know he was the voice of "America's Funniest Home Videos").

	Ernie Anderson
		Ernie was a booth announcer and on-camera spokesman for Ohio Bell Telephone Co. Not wanting to jeopardize that job with Ohio Bell, he adopted beatnik-toned inflections, donned a lab coat, fright wig and fake goatee and moustache and gave birth to "Ghoulardi", host for Channel 8's Friday night horror movies.
		"Ghoulardi" did not simply mock the grade-Z horror flicks, but would also superimpose himself on the screen, shouting to characters and joining the action.
		At the peak of his popularity, "Ghoulardi" on Friday nights commanded an astounding 56 percent share of the local TV audience, compared to Johnny Carson at 38 shares and Steve Allen at 6.

		In 1971 he got Ernie's blessings to carry on the Ghoulardi tradition and began hosting horror movies with riotous abandon as another fiendish hipster called THE GHOUL.

		Considering what impact Ernie Anderson's "Ghoulardi" had on all of us who were watching, it's surprising such an undertaking took so long to come-about.
