This month marked the fifteenth anniversary of this site, and although it was never exclusively dedicated to horror hosts, there’s no question that it’s been a prevailing theme. This was due to both its creators meeting on a Svengoolie YAHOO forum (remember those?) with a mutual desire to learn about other classic television hosts. Further motivation came courtesy of a 2010 Vampira tribute at Horrorhound Weekend and the 2006 documentary, American Scary, by Michael Monahan and Sandy Clark. The latter featured commentary on the history of horror hosting, along with interviews from both fans and hosts, including the great Maila Nurmi, Vampira, herself.
