I've started work on a biography of actor John Ferguson (Count Gregore) and need some metro help.

As most of you may already know - at least those who know of Count Gregore - our beloved Count is considered the longest running horror host in the world. But unfortunately, most of his time spent on the air was LIVE. For the most part all that is left in a LIVE show is the memories.

That's what I need help with.

I need your memories, photos, film, tapes, memorabilia, and everything you can muster that you would be willing to share with me about actor John Ferguson and his many performances and characters, including his best known, Count Gregore.

I would also appreciate any pointers that could help me discover more - so if you know the name of someone I should talk to, pass it along.

A website is being developed for the Count that will help share memories and the life of John Ferguson soon. But we need content for that, as well.

Considered the longest running Horror Host in the world, John Ferguson continues to delight audiences on screen, stage, and public appearances as the Count or one of his diverse characters. John's love of children and acting has aided him in becoming an Oklahoma icon and cherished memory in the hearts and minds of millions of fans.
