The New Uncle Gregory Horror Hour
The New Uncle Gregory Horror Hour is a horror host TV show out of Springfield, Missouri. It is currently broadcast on KOZL-27.
The show started on public access in 2011, moving to local network TV in 2013. This is currently the only televised horror host program in Southern Missouri.
Story
The story revolves around the misadventures of a poverty-stricken, out-of-work horror host (Uncle Gregory) attempting to regain his former glory by hosting bad movies. In his fictitious back story, Uncle Gregory hosted The Old Uncle Gregory Horror Hour for thirty (or forty) years, until driven off the air by his arch nemesis, Baron Bones. Succeeding in hacking into the airwaves, he now broadcasts a scaled-back version of his show from what is alternately referred to as a castle, studio, mansion, bungalow and his mother's house.
Characters
* "Uncle Gregory", the titular character of the show and host, introduces the film, banters with his sidekicks, visits local locations and does interviews. He sometimes has magical powers, and sometimes he struggles with everyday problems, like lack of funds, Library summer reading programs, and body odor. He is played by Andrew McMurtrey.
* "Chant" is Uncle Gregory's wise-cracking skull sidekick. Ostensibly, the only reason he hangs around with Uncle Gregory is due to the fact that Uncle Gregory is keeping the rest of his body for ransom. Chant is played by John Andrew Hall.
* "Raven" is a raven that sits in the corner of Uncle Gregory's set -- sometimes on a perch, sometimes on the TV. He doesn't do much.
* "Ted" is the name of Uncle Gregory's first (never seen) cameraman. Ted disappeared during a camping episode and was potentially eaten by Bigfoot.
* "Momo" is Missouri's own bigfoot, and Ted's replacement.
* "Baron Bones" is Uncle Gregory's arch nemesis, and host of the fictional program The Baron Bones Show of Shows. The Baron is also played by John Andrew Hall.
* "Chomp" is Baron Bones' skull sidekick, who can only say catch-phrases. He is played by Andrew McMurtrey.
