Canadian & American fans of "Hilarious House of Frightenstein" - A Sad Death

[grinningghost]

I recall as a kid watching "The Hilarious House of Frightenstein" on a Canadian tv station. It was such a fun show. Well, sadly, Billy Van, who played numerous characters on the show, died of cancer on January 8, at the age of 68, from cancer. Here's a link to a Billy Van tribute:

Sad news I've never seen this program but it sounds as though Mr. Van was a well loved personality.

Oh man, I loved that show! It was facinating! The librarian character always freaked me out. I will have to take a look at the tribute site. It was one of my favorite shows as a child.

It was wacky and wild and fun! A Party Game fan too, ok, I was young.
He was a very funny man and will be missed.

For some reason, whenever I think of this show, I remember The Wolfman doing a psychadelic dance to "Jumpin' Jack Flash".
