R.I.P. BILL BOWMAN

As the congenial Bowman Body, you brought joyful scares to viewers, hosting the best and worst in horror cinema via WRIC/WXEX's Shock Theatre.  

The documentaries, Hi There Horror Movie Fans and Virginia Creepers, showcase your legacy with heartfelt accuracy, keeping fans close to your frightful endeavors.

As added fun, the Bowman Body even granted fans a musical angle (with the novelty hit, "The Bowman Body Theme"), and with it, special memories that can never fade. You made lives better through your macabre portrayal, because you did so with a hearty wink and nudge. That playfulness prevails, Mr. Bowman, as does your contagious kindness. Take care, my friend, and indeed, rest well.
