The Ghoul's Creature Feature: With Ron Sweed. "The Ghoul's Creature Feature" was a hosted horror show with Ron Sweed as "The Ghoul" on Saturdays at 11:30 pm on WKBD-TV, Channel 50 Detroit, Michigan from 1975 until 1976.

A few years later, Kaiser's Detroit-based station WKBD also picked up The Ghoul Show. Known for Sweed's zany, intentionally adolescent humor, late night monster movies were a unique experience for Cleveland and Detroit viewers in the 1970s.
