American Scary

The only featured host that I recognized was Elvira. And of course Vampira, though she retired from the biz probably before I was born. And Elvira was never big in Saint Louis, though I think she ran for a year or two in the 90's. The big one for my youth was Seymour on "Seymour Presents". I don't know his real name, but I remember reading his obit in an issue of Fangoria over 30 years ago. He ran for a few years in the Lou. And they missed him in this doc. Doctor Morgus is alive and well, and shows up on occasion as a guest on "Coast to Coast AM" with George Noory. Check the Coast to Coast web-site, you may be able find audio clips.

This is so watchable..I got to see Sir Cecil Creep and Elvira again..This is a lot of fun..

Sir Graves Ghastly himself,only for a second the first time, but then Booger was talking about him too, with the same reverence we all had for him, & STILL DO, from Detroit, with love!

so sorry they didn't include Sammy Terry from Nightmare Theater in Indianapolis

Why they missed so many regional hosts...no footage exists...many stations recycled tapes...
a very sad situation...but in the "benjiman" way of thinking made perfect sense for the stations...we had The Count in the PNW who hosted he was a hoot and a half...when local stations decided to quit local programs...cut the heart right out of TV as we know it. See 2 other replies

Thank you ! It sure was nice to see Chilly Billy Cardille, again. It brought back memories of 1960's Pittsburgh. Blankets and pillows on the living room floor, us kids were thrilled to be allowed to stay up late on summer nights while the grown-ups were out back with buckets of Rolling Rock.

If you were too look into the Victorian (or Edwardian) styles of fashion, the "wasp waist" that she has was considered the norm and very attractive.
Obviously todays' choices of underclothing are a little more forgiving, but I give her props for training her body to that. It takes a very long time to train your body into that. See 1 other reply

Tags are keywords or category labels that can help you and others find videos on Hulu. They also classify videos for later recall. You can tag videos yourself by simply checking the box next to a popular tag for a video or by using the "add" field to create a new tag. Click on any tag — "comedy" for example — to discover other videos similarly tagged by you or other users. Because tags are reviewed by Hulu, there may be a delay in surfacing your tags. The most relevant tags are sorted by category for the rest of Hulu to see. You may assign up to 30 tags for any video or show; to review all of your tags, see the Tags section on your profile page.

Your tags may be visible to other users on Hulu. You should not use:

Profane or obscene language
Tags that are inciting or spiteful
Tags that might harass, abuse or threaten members of the community
Tags that may reveal your personal information or any personal information about children under age 13
Tags that promote illegal or immoral conduct
Tags containing special characters or more than 50 characters
