Television prophet and sometime Ed Wood Company player, CRISWELL was a staple on The Tonight Show and appeared in such films as Night of the Ghouls and the infamous, Plan 9 From Outer Space. Now, years after his 'death', the powerful all knowing brain of Criswell has a new home in Prof. Griffin's sideshow. Criswell still makes his bizarre and highly inaccurate predictions from time to time for the enjoyment and befuddlement of all. Robert Orin Charles Criswell was a TV weatherman who made a prediction about the weather one evening. It strangely came true! Soon
after that, Criswell started making appearances predicting the future.
He spoke of many cryptic things, and even predicted the end of the world
(as we know it) August
16, 1999. He
was wrong.

Criswell has no e-mail address as he is just a brain in a jar. |
