There's actually a new breed of horror hosts. Some appear on cable access channels and some are alive and well on the internet. Check out Dr. Gangrene in Tennessee (a really nice guy who cut several pieces for my Halloween broadcasts) and Penny Dreadful XIII.

Cool. I'll have to check those out. I guess I never really thought about them being on the internet.
Makes me think of Ghoul A Go-Go, which is a great program, although they're more variety-show/music oriented.

I love James Coburn movies! Ever seen him in the 1978 beer commercial?

Roddy Mcdowell, Good call! If only he could have been an actual vampire host! Love him!

Speaking of some of my faves, Butch Patrick on Macabre Theater, he is friggin hilarious!

I have always wanted to be a horror hostess myself! I would probably be more like a girl version of Joe Bob Briggs! LOL

For some reason the horror host thing never really hit the UK at all. That were onlt 2 I remember - the dreadful Deadly Ernest show and there was anther one with a masked host (I think on BBC2) which wasn't too bad..

I grew up on Count Gore De Vol in the DC area. According to Wiki(I know) he's considered the longest running horror host in history, hosting Creature Feature from 1973 to 1987.
Great memories here:
