Clip of the Day - Morton Downey, Jr.
When I was a kid I used to watch Morton Downey, Jr. all the time. Like the exploitation peddlers of old, Downey would couch things that were otherwise unavailable on television within a cocoon of outrage and moral indignation. In other words, if you wanted to see clips from horror movies that you otherwise weren’t allowed to see, the perpetually smoking Downey would showcase them at least once a week in a thick-headed attempt to have them banned.
Morton Downey, Jr. would go on to appear in the television shows Monsters and Tales From The Crypt, as well as the film Predator 2.
