Hosting science fiction and horror movies

in between experiments, "Morgus the Magnificent" (Played by Sidney Noel Rideau,) first appeared on late night television on January 3rd, 1959, on the "House of Shock" show that aired on WWL-TV in New Orleans.The set was styled to look like a dismal attic, supposedly located over the old city ice house, with a fire escape exit into Pirate's Alley in the old French Quarter.
Morgus is a quintessential mad scientist, assisted by executioner-styled sidekick, Chopsley. Morgus' well-intentioned experiments often served as book-end pieces to the late-night films being shown, and typically went awry at the last minute.

In 2011 "The Mystery Of Morgus" a documentary of Sidney Noel Rideau and his horror host character of "Dr. Morgus" was released. "Dr. Morgus" had been on the air from 1959 through the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's; and syndicated from 2005; on television stations in New Orleans, Louisiana and Detroit, Michigan
