Grandpa Fred



Grandpa Fred (real name unknown) was thee hosts a traditional and moderately popular Horror show in the Clamp Center building. BiographyEditWearing a Dracula costume at his work, he sees little point of him having the show since Daniel Clamp doesn't like black and white movies, which is the format of most classic old horror films. Grandpa Fred also has a plush puppet named Igor.He was first seen presenting 'Attack of the octopus people' and he is known to be fearless towards anything, even the gremlins. At one point, he hired a highly active and eccentric Japanese photographer, Mr. Katsuji, to make a TV interview with Brain Gremlin, making a conversation of Brain's speech of the Gremlins' desire to be Civilized. He was promoted to a high standard by Clamp after the Gremlins were destroyed at the end of the movie.TriviaEditGrandpa Fred was an obvious inspiration from the similarly named Grandpa from the 1960's sitcom The Munsters.The movie that Fred describes as "Attack Of The Octopus People" is in reality an 70's movie called 'Octaman'.Grandpa Fred was played by actor Robert Prosky.In a deleted scene he was shown to be confused and curious of what the gremlins were doing on his show.
