There's at least one website out there dedicated to obsessively cataloguing all of these horror hosts (aka doing God's work).

RAR. My image tagging has been for shit this week:

The more you know: Ghoulardi (or one of the Ghoulardis) was Paul Thomas Anderson's dad.

Uh oh. Sorry to rain on your parade, folks, but this poll has already been done: It's Official! The Results Of The Best Movies Of The Century Poll Are Now In!

oh man theres a doc out about regional horror hosts that i cant remember the name of. its long and kind of overstays its welcome so this is not a glowing recommendation, but lemme see if i can figure out what it was. netflix streaming fyi, at least the last time i checked.

American Scary. not a great title but hey

http://americanscary.com/

Ahhhh. I saw that was streaming and didn't realize what it was. I'll probably check it out despite your not-quite-a-recommendation. Love stuff like that.

Being a regional horror host would probably be my dream job.

You would be SO good at it too.

!!!

Thanks! Maybe I'll call Svengoolie and see if he's got any openings for an apprentice.

It is about time for him to start considering his legacy...

These folks have been doing a beatnik-schtick thing out of Buffalo called "Off Beat Cinema" for the past 15 or 20 years. It's about half bad horror films. They're a little scary, but not in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre sense.

"Pet Sematary"'s my favourite late-period song from them. (xpost)

I hear they don't want to be buried in one.

LOL, oh man, I should roll each and every result out in the style of an EC host. That could get tiresome after the first seven or eight.

"Welcome back, my little BORES and GHOULS. I see you've come LURCHING back for another DRIPPY DOSE of TOOTHSOME TERROR. If BLOOD is what you crave, then SHARPEN up your FANGS for this CUTTING ENTRY in our countdown ... or should I say, COUNT-DRACULA-DOWN?"

can I just say that, for me, this would never get old and I would laugh at it every single time

I think Eric's made a rod for his own back, here. There will be 'PLAINTS if he doesn't do it now.

wth happened in here

thresholds attained, pacts sworn, ghouls celebrated

can I just say that, for me, this would never get old and I would laugh at it every single time

^^^^ been going through my stack of old EC comics lately, plz don't let us down here

altho tbrr I would also be okay with just accompanying every entry with a pic of Elvira

i just almost started a horror movie documentary thread, but i thought i might be horror burdening up the boards a bit - is there a thread for docs about movies on here somewhere?

The best things come to those who MUTATE!

prompted by thinking abt american scary and watching one of the DawnOTD docs last night. also by being really excited by this poll.

xpost nice, v nice

Gonna have to save any other ones that come to mind if I'ma get my Old Witch on in the results thread.
