THE CAST
UNCLE EERIE
AKA: Eerie Lee Shivers
One Good-Lookin' Corpse.
Eerie Lee Shivers is the host of the Shiver Show. He is a ghoulish Southern Gentleman from the Deep South (like, REALLY DEEP SOUTH), who now makes his home in the wilds of Northwest Northwest area.
Eerie - or, Uncle Eerie, as he has come to be known - is a mustachioed monster with a penchant for western suits, twangy guitars, and swinging an ax at anyone who crosses him.
And of course - he enjoys horror films - the good and the very, very bad...
Eerie has been a lot of things throughout his long years as a ghoul - graverobber, carnie, country western singer, truckdriver, snake oil salesman, professional medical cadaver... Truth be told, though (and not that you'd ever hear it from him), but Eerie wasn't much good at any of these things. In fact, the only thing thatEerie has ever been good it has been being a television personality. Of course, that's not saying much....
DR. ZEE
AKA: Dr.* Friedrich Von Zeitverbrecher
( *Medical License Revoked in 1974)
The Doctor is In...sane!
Dr. Zee is technically the co-host of the Shiver Show - although, some may argue that he's actually the more competent of the two, and is at the vert least Eerie's equal partner.
Dr. Zee's past is shrouded in mystery... although it is known that he was born and raised in Germany, he is much older than he appears, and he is currently one of Interpol's Most Wanted.
The Bad Doctor is a scatterbrained inventor with a tenuous grasp of reality. However, you should never underestimate ZEE, as he has been known to build a successful Death Ray, on occasion.
HOOK-HAnD HANK
Real name unknown
Hank is eerie's neighbor, from the shack down the road. He may or not be the inspiration for a famous urban legend.
hanks likes sharp objects, fluffy kittens, and being left alone. he hates the mailman, and the voices in his head that tell him to do things.

MATT MOO (CinematographER, EditOR)
Matt is your typical tech-loving weirdo. He spends most of his work life in front of a computer.

A BIT OF HISTORY...
A BIT OF HISTORY...
Uncle Eerie's Shiver Show officially began in 2009 As a series of live "Spookshows", continuing a tradition of combining Cinema shows with live performances, a trend prominent through the 1930s up until the late 1960's. Uncle Eerie's Shiver show combined live comedy skits, music, burlesque, and trivia contests, with classic horror and cult films. The Shiver SHow performed a number of these shows throughout the portland, Oregon area, throughout 2009.
in 2010, the shiver show made its debut on public access television, as a creature feature/horror host program. While The horror host show came after the live performance, it was the television format that was at the heart of its creation. following in the footsteps of famous regional shows hosts as zacherley ("the cool ghoul"), Vampira, Ghoulardi, and countless others, Uncle Eerie's Shiver show carried on a legacy of keeping classic genre films in the public eye, while infusing a modern spirit and comedic sensibility (with a little dose of DIY mentality for good measure).
The television show went on extended hiatus in 2012. since then, uncle eerie and his crew have continued to perform live. in 2014 the show began preproduction on a new, web-based series.
