MOVIE HOSTS: MR PLINKETT

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , , on February 27, 2012 | 2 Comments »

 I’ve been debating with myself for over a year now about whether to include Mr Plinkett, the fictional movie critic from Red Letter Media’s site, in my Movie Host section. I’m amazed to learn there are still people out there who haven’t tasted the Harry S Plinkett experience (and for the record, it tastes like [...]

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 22, 2011 | 38 Comments »

The Texas 27 Film Vault is one of the great unsung Movie Host shows of the 1980′s and I was thrilled to get this exclusive interview with Randy Clower, co-star and co-creator of this legendary cult show from the Dallas/ Fort Worth area. “The Film Vault Guys” as they were often called by their fans, or [...]

Posted in Bad and weird movies, Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 25, 2011 | 5 Comments »

 Christopher Coffin, AKA Reed Pasternak AKA Reed Farrell, deserves to be mentioned with the biggest names in the history of B- Movie Hosts. As you can see in the photo at left Coffin hosted his movies from a wheelchair and when you combine that with his wry, erudite sense of humor and his aristocratic manner I think [...]

FIGHT POST- HALLOWEEN BLUES WITH SON OF SVENGOOLIE

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , on November 2, 2011 | 6 Comments »

 No, it’s not Zonker Harris with scare makeup on, it’s Chicago’s own Rich Koz during the original 1979- 1986 run of his B-movie show Son of Svengoolie. To help everyone get over their post- Halloween depression (I wear an orange and black ribbon to “raise awareness” about this troubling malady) here is a

HALLOWEEN TREAT: AN ENCORE SALUTE TO THE KING OF THE B-MOVIE HOSTS

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , on October 19, 2011 | 4 Comments »

 Rich Koz aka Son of Svengoolie, aka just plain Svengoolie is, in my opinion, the one man whose work would go into a time capsule if I had to pick just one example of the American folk-art form of movie hosting. I know he wasn’t around before Vampira or Zacherle but his work is pretty much the [...]

 Chicago’s own Mad Marvin (Terry Bennett) was part of the First Wave of B-Movie Hosts and Hostesses of the 1950′s. From 1957 to 1959 Terry (joined by his wife Joy soon after the show launched) entertained the Windy City late on Saturday nights with that metropolis’ version of Shock Theater. Described as a “Mad Beatnik” [...]

MOVIE HOSTS: GHOULARDI

Posted in Bad and weird movies, Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , on September 12, 2011 | 10 Comments »

 From January of 1963 to December of 1966 Ernie Anderson, AKA Ghoulardi, ruled the  Friday night airwaves in Cleveland with his b-movie show. To give you an idea of how popular his show was, Ghoulardi did what some of the top entertainers of their day consistently failed to do – HE BEAT JOHNNY CARSON’S TONIGHT SHOW IN [...]

MOVIE HOSTS: MOONA LISA

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , , on August 26, 2011 | 17 Comments »

 My fellow movie host geeks and I need to seriously scour the world to find some better photographs of this lady. Moona Lisa (Lisa Clark in real life) was an active movie host for twelve years beginning in 1963. Though Moona Lisa is most often associated with San Diego’s Science Fiction Theater, her longest-lasting show, she [...]

ELVIRA AND WOLFMAN MAC TONIGHT

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , , on June 11, 2011 | 4 Comments »

 Well, it’s the weekend, which of course turns one’s thoughts to Movie Hosts and B-Movies. I like to let people who are into these types of shows know what flicks are being shown this week. Elvira’s Movie Macabre, which to remind people, features recently-made episodes, not reruns of her 1980′s run with the show, is [...]

WOLFMAN MAC AND ELVIRA TONIGHT

Posted in Movie Hosts, tagged , , , , on June 4, 2011 | 10 Comments »

 Today instead of looking at a movie host of the past we’ll look at two who are still active. First up is the one and only Wolfman Mac, seen in the photo with his friend Boney Bob. Wolfman Mac hosts Chiller Drive-In, on which he shows the usual beloved B-movies of the past in the time-honored movie [...]
