"The Count Has a Posse"

Sticker found in an alley in Aberdeen, Washington. This is an image of Joe Towey in his role as The Count,  an over-the-top vampire who introduced late night night horror films on KIRO TV in Seattle in the 1960s-1970s.

Joe also worked as the director of the J.P. Patches show. I met Joe when I interviewed J.P. back in 1975. Mr. Towey was a very mild mannered and almost shy man as he demonstrated how the control booth and cameras worked as the show was airing.
