Jack Gray portrays the new incarnation of Dr. Shock from Shock Theatre.Flash, flash, flash.
Dr. Shock, Dingbat, Nurse Goodbody and Dirge will be back on the air Saturday, Oct. 26, telling jokes, sharing trivia and Halloween hijinks beginning just after midnight.
Old-timers will remember the original Shock Theatre with Tommy Reynolds and Dan East as Dr. Shock and Dingbat, respectively. The two would tell jokes, usually at the expense of the local power structure, and introduce the night’s horror film.
It was a true local classic, and people ask about it all the time.
Jack Gray is the new Shock, and he has been developing the concept for the last several years, making public appearances whenever and wherever he is asked to appear. Gray is lead producer for the program, along with Johnny Stockman. He’s also been working to get the show back on the air.
