#TIL Al Lewis (Grandpa Munster in The Munsters, Leo Schnauser in Car 54, Where Are You?) presented a series of VHS releases of horror & scifi movies, mostly public domain & several shown in the #Monsterdon watch party, from Amvest Video. Him doing a brief intro & outro, not movie-specific (he pauses while an off-screen "Igor" says the name of the film), while appearing very "Grandpa Munster"-esque.
Although he actually did it as "Grampa" (not Grandpa Munster), I guess so Amvest & Lewis could avoid having to license the Grandpa character from the rights owners of The Munsters.
He also used the legally-distinct "Grampa" brand in other ventures like his Italian restaurant Grampa's Bella Gente and licensed the Grampa's name to a mafia-owned comedy club in Staten Island!
I also learned Al stood as the Green candidate in the 1998 New York Governor election, & on Howard Stern's radio show repeatedly chanted "Fuck the FCC!" until Stern snatched the mic away from him!
Back to the topic, I discovered this because on Sunday 13 September, the #ReMonsterdon #WatchParty will be showing ゲゾラ・ガニメ・カメーバ 決戦!南海の大怪獣 (1970), a.k.a. Space Amoeba, a.k.a. Yog, Monster From Space (previously shown in #Monsterdon), & I came across "Grampa Presents Yog, Monster from Space"!
It's on the Internet Archive, so I suppose folks can watch that version if they're "hardcore" :D
