In case you haven’t heard the news (which means you missed yesterday’s Weekend Horror Host Report you naughty reader), Wisconsin’s Mr. Mephisto will be making a full make-up return to hosting this Tuesday night via The Vortexx in a “Bordello of Horror” Double Feature!
Not long after the premiere of Tim Burton’s DARK SHADOWS, we shared the insights of Dr. Destruction (a life long fan of the show) which you can revisit HERE. Destruction wasn’t the only one eager to share his two cents as horror hostess, Penny Dreadful, also posted her own blog on the subject (see HERE). I suddenly found myself wishing I could sit down with the two of them (metaphorically speaking) and have them answer a few questions regarding their immense fandom of the show. And here’s what happened…
Our friends at The Sons of Witches would like us to share a special tribute song created for the “raven haired temptress,” herself, Ivonna Cadaver! Check it out…
They would also like to remind everyone about their big Horrorhound Weekend Saturday Nite Get-Away Contest! You can read the details on that by clicking HERE!
The Terror Daves would like to congratulate our friends, Halloween Jack and Halloween Jacqueline on their very public engagement! In typical Horror Host fashion, the big moment took place on their own show, “Halloween Jack’s Haunted Theatre,” via The Monster Channel last night! Earlier in the week, Jack had sent word via Facebook to various fellow hosts and fans notifying them of his intention to pop the question to his beautiful co-hostess. I can honestly say, this was the best kept secret shared with 26 other people I’d ever seen!
Well, gang, this is our final post regarding the Ohio 2012 Horrorhound Weekend before we aim our focus at future events! As mentioned prior to this gathering, David and I were asked by Jason Hignite to participate in this year’s Horror Host Hall of Fame ceremony by doing an induction of our own. Not for a specific host, but for a unique package of films that lead to their proliferation.
It was a beautiful sunny day in Chicago when I arrived at DePaul University to see a Q&A session with national horror host and broadcaster, Rich Koz/Svengoolie! While I’ve seen him at various appearances this would mark the first time I would catch him without his familiar make-up and, rather than greet fans, get to see him discuss his vast career.
