For those of you that don't know, this is a documentary on the history of night time horror Movie hosts. They covered a lot of different Horror Hosts from the beginning to current. They even had interviews with a lot of old and current hosts. Like Zacherly, the "cool ghoul".
Horrible Horror Enthusiast
Which the Documentary dubbed the King of horror hosts, and Vampira, the Documentary dubbed Queen of horror hosts.
Elvira has nothing on her!
They even talked to others that weren't horror hosts, but are notable people in the horror industry and entertainment. Tom Savini (Prop and make up for "Friday the 13th", "Creepshow", Dawn of the Dead" Etc.),
Remember those movies from the 80's that made you pee your pants?
You're Welcome.
Bob Burns (Horror and Sci-fi Archivist), and even Emmy Award Winning Actor, Tim Conway ("Carrol Burnette Show", "McHale's Navy", "Dorf").
It was really nice to see that they spent time getting in touch with so many Hosts. Crazy to find out that the Cornucopia of Horror Hosts is in Ohio. Was a shame that they didn't mention three of my faves. Gilbert Godfrey, and Rhonda Shear USA's "Up All Night", And of coarse, Sammy Terry From the old 10pm horror show on WTTV4.
Mr. Hoosier Horror
Now there is a Downside to the Documentary. Even thought the release date was February of 2009, the Video quality looked like a VHS tape from 1989. But Still a very good watch.
Almost all of you reading this that are around my age or older have definitely experienced a midnight horror movie host at one time or another. Some of the Younger one my remember a Version of this style if you have ever seen MST3K!
Mmmm... Turkey Soup.
They even Interview a couple Newer Horror Movie Hosts about the Future of the Realm. One that Sticks out is Mr. Lobo.
The Horror Hipster
I would Suggest that you check it out on Netflix if you got it, or even Rent/Buy the DVD, if you have an affinity to These Bump in the Night Hosts.
American Scary Website!
And in Leaving, I will say... I have always had a small dream of becoming a midnight Horror Host. And My Dad. So I made a little Video of my dad Being a Horror Host for a local Haunt. I present Othar the Oracle!
Took hours to get the Shine off the dome. Almost destroyed the Camera Lens!
