WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CREEPY CLYDE:

"In addition to the authentic Romanian dÈcor and cuisine, the
Transylvania House offers customers a nightly floor show, which is not really Romanian, but entertains nonetheless. Creepy Clyde comes in every night and plays a variety of American songs, spooky music, light rock, country -- its great.
Draped entirely in black, and strumming a guitar featuring a giant spidar web, Clyde is the self-proclaimed Master of Monsterous Melodies and adds a unique vampire-ish quality to the Transylvania House during the dinner hours.--DEARBORN PRESS AND GUIDE

Young Goths love Creepy Clyde
Speaking of creepy things, I met Creepy Clyde. Clyde is a singer of spooky songs and is a most interesting fellow. He sings quietly, kind of eerily and kind of like Frank Sinatra.
Young Goth people with black fingernails love him. Old ladies with their hair sprayed stiff can't get enough of him.--BENNY E. JET, MICHIGAN
COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS

This 13-song disc of lounge-y schmaltz comes from a guy called Creepy Clyde, a self described master of monsterous melodies. Indeed, he sounds creepy, but not in a Halloween-y sort of way; he ís more on the smarmy side, like a Dave Vanian at the height of his Elvis fixation. And Creepy Clyde sounds like Vanian, too, crooning steady streams of sap like "Man-Eating Plant," "The Carp That Ate Detroit," "The Old Man From Kalamazoo" that would sit quite well should you find yourself drunk in a Dearborn fern bar on Halloween night. Strangely, all of this makes Creepy Clyde good and Spooky Town oddly satisfying.--METRO TIMES

The Transylvania House features nightly performances by an appropriate figure, Creepy Clyde, who does an endearing monster act year round.--OBSERVER AND ECCENTRIC NEWSPAPERS

Way back in May of this year, REAL Detroit's "7 Days in Detroit" section listed the following for every night of the week: Transylvania House, Dearborn-Creepy Clyde sings spooky tunes. My immediate thought: Whaaaat? We were in for what can only be described as a most bizarre dining experience via a wacky lounge singer in black with spidar-webbed guitar-Creepy Clyde. And yep, he sang spooky tunes. But what made them particularly scary was that they were all sung as if they were fabulous lounge ballads. I cried out of the corners of my eyes when I made out the lyrics to the Bauhaus classic "Bela Lugosi's Dead," and nearly peed when our musical host donned a ridiculous stuffed spidar hat to croon the theme song from Spider-Man. --REAL DETROIT WEEKLY.
