Of Fred Grandy and "Monster Squad"

No one would ask or expect you to love a world in which Fred Grandy (b. 1948) were a right-wing Congressman from Iowa (1987-1995), a pundit, and talk radio host. But it gets better when you factor in that previously he played Gopher on The Love Boat (1977-86). And it becomes downright irresistible when you include the fact that prior to that, he starred on the Saturday morning children’s series…

I'll forever be sad that Vic was never on Columbo. :( Stanley Ralph Ross wrote "Any Old Port in a Storm" specifically for his buddy Victor but they cast Donald Pleasence. The same happened again when he wrote Gold of the Amazon Women (1979) and they cast Pleasence again in Vic's part.

Monster Squad (September 1976)

The series stars Fred Grandy (who also starred in The Love Boat and was later elected to the United States House of Representatives) as Walt, a criminology student working as a night watchman at "Fred's Wax Museum". To pass the time, Walt built a prototype "Crime Computer" hidden in a large stone sarcophagus near an exhibit of legendary monsters. When Walt plugged in his computer, "oscillating vibrations" brought to life the wax statues of Dracula (Henry Polic II), the Wolfman (Buck Kartalian) who here was named "Bruce W. Wolf" (with one episode revealing that the "W" stood for "Were"), and the Frankenstein Monster (Michael Lane) who was referred to as "Frank N. Stein" in the credits.

The monsters, wanting to make up for the misdeeds of their pasts, became superhero crimefighters who used their unique abilities to challenge and defeat various supervillains. In most episodes, Walt would send the monsters out to investigate crimes and fight the villains while monitoring the activities from the wax museum via the Crime Computer, presumably because his job required him to be at the wax museum at all times. However, Walt would sometimes join the climactic battle with his comrades in some episodes and come to the rescue when needed.

Though the Squad are supposed to be wax statues, it often appears that they are something else entirely, as they apparently have all the memories of the monsters they are based on as well as their powers. The gentle giant Frank, for example, possessed superhuman strength and could smash through walls, while the dapper cloak-clad and fearsome-fanged Drac could turn into a bat, and the short and furry Bruce was a ferocious fighter who could climb up the sheer sides of buildings Spider-Man-style and had a super-sensitive sense of smell.

The Squad had their own customized black Monster Van, and each monster had a "utility belt" with a communicator device used to keep in touch with Walt, who had apparently created them for the monsters to use. Their CB-style codenames were "Chamber of Horrors" (Walt), "Nightflyer" (Drac), "Green Machine" (Frank) and "Furball" (Bruce).

The show was comparable to the 1960s Batman TV show, not surprising considering that creator Stanley Ralph Ross had been one of the main writers on that series. The villains were often exaggerated camp super-villains much like the ones on Batman in keeping with the "superhero" tone of the show, and were often played by familiar-faced guest stars of the time, like Alice Ghostley ("Queen Bee"), Marty Allen ("Lorenzo Musica"), Jonathan Harris ("the Astrologer"), Julie Newmar ("Ultra Witch"), Avery Schreiber ("the Weatherman") and Vito Scotti ("Albert/Alberta").

In several episodes, a statue of the Invisible Man can be seen in an alcove on the opposite side of the monsters' exhibit. It is never explained why this statue remains unaffected by the Crime Computer's oscillating vibrations.

Ok, so here's what legendary 89-year-old Julie Newmar, who as Catwoman was a fellow Bat-villain of his in 1966 and made a movie with him in 1967, had to say about Victor. :) I did ask a few follow up questions she kind of skipped over and I combined two of her emails in this text (I don't think there will be more, otherwise I'll add it):

"Here are a few thoughts that I have on Victor Buono.

I’ll do my best to clear up some misunderstandings – we all knew we would not be paid on this film (Seduction of a Nerd), that’s important. Which also shows you how deeply and positively we felt about the project. I flew back on weekends to be in his film from location spots in Utah and the Grand Canyon while filming “McKenna’s Gold”. There was a deeper fulfillment of working on the Don Joslyn project than the multimillion-dollar film. This was Don Joslyn’s oeuvre, he was the writer, director, creator in all ways. He was very much in the vein of multi-talented filmmaker John Cassavetes, everyone wanted to work with him, pay or no pay.

There is a scene in “Mother”, the original title, with Victor as a cross-dresser (leaning against a lamp post), it is, he is heart-breaking. Both touching and embarrassing. There was no money to intensify or glamourize the background setting, only locations that Don Joslyn could get for free.

Victor was a complete pleasure to work with. In a sense, like me, he was all about the work, focused. I don’t have personal tid bits. In his roles he was a natural genius like Peter Sellers. The same was true of Jack Mullaney, my costar in The Living Doll. He must have been wonderful in all the parts he played as a member of the San Diego Shakespeare festival. Think of it, how incredible that Victor was playing Fallstaff at the age of 24! A flawless character actor, he could do any age. Us, we normal people could not have done that, meaning that his background, his family experience gave him untold knowledge to embody this great Shakespearean character.

His work is so refined (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane). Another part of his genius was that he could act without acting (let that sink in). He was a perfect partner to work with on screen, thankfully not having big star egotistic distractions. As King Tut on the Batman series, he was the top writer Stanley Ralph Ross’ favorite character to write for. Stanley wrote brilliant dialogue for me as Catwoman.

How wisely he conducted his life, all told; however short (which is determined before birth). He was ‘gay’, another protection in a way and irrelevant to us, to me anyway.

There is much to know and understand and love in this world."
