“Shock Theatre” was a hosted horror movie show with Ed Meloan as "Count Justin Sane" screening firstly on Saturday nights, then both Friday & Saturday nights on WRDW, Channel 12 in Augusta, Georgia between 1968 &1974. The coffin used on the show was made out of a couple of sheets of 3/4 plywood which was painted a dull grey. The handles did come from a real coffin. The inside of the “coffin” was lined with a wine-colored, very heavy cloth that had originally been one of the stage curtains of the old Imperial Theater.
I watched this show religiously when I lived in Augusta, GA.
