And Now TVLine Has A Poll For The Top TV Ghosts...
« on: October 18, 2015, 07:25:38 PM »
...and, of course, no Quentin...

Top TV Ghosts From Ghostbusters, American Horror Story and More

...but then, if Barnabas wasn't part of the vampire poll, Quentin wasn't going to be a part of the ghost poll...

Collinwood had ghosts coming out of the woodwork. at least a dozen haunted the place. Quentin was a particularly memorable one...


but a "ghost" is not generally what the character is associated with in the history of the whole thing. for whatever reason it's the werewolf.

My favorite recent ghost was a character on a short-lived British series called HEX.  I wish I could recall the character name and actress.  She was brilliant and fun.

I wonder whether anyone still remembers TOPPER with Mr. Waverly himself (Leo G. Carroll) as the hapless mortal dealing with sprightly spooks.

I Do, G! I've very early childhood memories of sitting in front of the old 19 inch black and white watching rerun after rerun of all the old shows. I remember Topper being in the lineup. I was thinking the other day how much I miss laugh tracks.

Host to said ghosts! I remember it quite well. Topper was seen regularly on WNEW in NYC and I watched it all the time.

By the way, Gothick and dom, there are full episodes on YouTube. So pour yourself a big bowl of Individual Oats and enjoy! [128]

I remember Topper! We also sat in front of our teeny black-and-white TV to watch it!

who was who and what was what seems to get muddied in these types of "polls"...


by contrast I recently saw a similar poll that named Josette one of TV's "sexiest vampires" when of course she never actually appeared as such except in a "vision".

to me Josette is probably Collinwood's most notable "ghost". her early appearances completely changed the trajectory of the whole thing.
