From E-gor's Chamber of TV Horror Hosts: "Dr. Mongo is short for Dr. Montague B. Gourley, who's degree is in filmology from the Millard Film-More Film School. After the death of his film-loving grandfather, Horatio Marcucci, Dr. Mongo received Marcucci Manor (later changed to Mongo Manor) as part of his inheritance. Here, Dr. Mongo, with the help of his lab assistant Quiso, would be able to show the finest films known to man,...right after he cleans out the film vault in the basement and shows all the schlock! The show almost always took place in the basement".
