That is so cool that you were on Disc-o-teen! Zacherley is indeed the coolest. When I think of horror host royalty, I consider Zach the King, Vampira the Queen and Ghoulardi the court jester. They are clearly the most influential, and you cannot discuss host history without placing them at the top of the pyramid. And thank you, Rechercher, for the nice editing job on my clumsier responses. The illusion of eloquence is uncanny.

We'd go down to Newark, NJ's Symphony Hall on Thursdays and Fridays to tape the show. They'd have local bands and big time R&B acts. We became local celebs a la American Bandstand. And Zach was the coolest, nicest cat. We were his favorites. Man it was a gas!! Zach was one of my TV idols. To meet him and talk and hng out with him was beyond the pale. Cat was Kyrpt Kool!! 263408@blogcritics.org Sat, 29 Oct 2005 13:46:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/24/072507.php#comment-262797 What an informative and well-written piece. Great to know that even the hosts in different markets didn't know each other. My cousins from Cleveland and ourselves from Chicago used to regale each other with tales of our local Creature Feature horror hosts and the movies they showed. Great stuff, Rechercher. 262797@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Oct 2005 11:29:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/24/072507.php#comment-260552 Very cool story. Merci bien Rechercher! 260552@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Oct 2005 23:03:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/10/24/072507.php#comment-260110 excellent interview on a great topic - I loved Elvira when I was in LA and the Ghoul here in Cleveland, keeping you company while you watch the (mostly) bad scay movies. Thanks Rechercher! 260110@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Oct 2005 07:39:05 EDT
