1950s & 60s - The Charlie Baxter / M. T. Graves Photo Gallery - RIP Charlie! Click on image to view


Charlie Baxter was on WCKT-TV Channel 7's The Dungeon during the late 50's and into the mid to late 60's starring as M. T. Graves, hosting horror movies and shows. The show was broadcast on Sunday afternoons for several years and then moved to Saturday afternoons. He then starred as M. T. Space on the show Otherworlds where he played sci-fi movies. In 1972 Charlie returned to the airwaves as M. T. Graves in a show titled M. T. Graves Presents on WKID-TV Channel 51 in Hollywood, Florida. His son Tim Baxter played "Gore the Guard" on this show. A far more complete biography is listed on George Chastain's website mentioned below.

The images in this gallery are courtesy of George "E-Gor" Chastain and Charlie Baxter who provided the photos to George for his website "M. T. Graves and Charlie Baxter present THE DUNGEON" at http://myweb.wvnet.edu/e-gor/mtgraves/ which has far more images and stories than this small gallery below.

George also operates E-gor's Chamber of TV Horror Hosts, containing material from many television horror hosts nationwide, which is located at http://myweb.wvnet.edu/e-gor/tvhorrorhosts/

Billy Small advised me on 10/5/07 that Charlie Baxter passed away on Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007, in the Nashville area. Charlie was 82 years old. RIP Charlie, you were a great man and entertainer and you will be missed. Thank you for the memories in Old South Florida that we used to share.

G. G. Faircloth has a Facebook group dedicated to M. T. Graves and other 1960s Miami Kid Shows (that is also the name of the group) and I encourage fans to view it and join it at http://www.facebook.com/groups/81328842024/ . Thank you G. G. for all that you do to keep the memories alive.
