Elsewhere, late-night Detroit TV legend The Ghoul has died. During the 1970s and ’80s, Ron Sweed played the crazed host of eccentric late-night programming, inserting random sound bytes into bad horror movies and blowing things up with M-80s. The Ghoul represents an era and genre of local programming that mostly no longer exists.
