Lou Steele (7 March 1928 - 25 February 2001) was an American actor, radio, and television announcer.
Born Louis Ferraioli, on 7 March 1928 he is well known for working in a supportive role with such actors as Judith Anderson, Joseph Cotten, Fortunio Bonanova, John Bromfield, Carleton Carpenter, Wendell Corey, and Albert Dekker.
Lou was also an announcer on Armed Forces Radio during the Korean War, and was the voice who informed the troops that their commander, General Douglas MacArthur, had been recalled by President Harry S Truman.
Years later Lou was an announcer on WNEW Channel 5 out of New York City, and was also a staff anouncer on radio station WPAT, Patterson, New Jersey.
Lou Steele is most well known for creating the catch phrase: It's 10 pm; do you know where your children are?
While on at WNEW Lou was also the host for the local horror show Creature Features (1968-1973). Known as "The Creep", Lou would appear without the normal make-up or costume typical of horror hosts of the day. At various times, Lou would conduct contests that involved coming up with trivia questions, made-up quotes spoofing notable horror film titles, or flashing parts of a title at select times throughout that night’s movie. Contests winners were announced on air.
He died on 25 February 2001 in his home in Patterson, New Jersey of a heart attack.
