| Creatures of the Night That We Loved So Well | |
| TV Horror Hosts of Southern California | |

Jeepers Creepers Theatre in
1962 ignited a love
of horror hosts that was the beginning of a life-long
addiction for many fans. But as much as the
audience loved the shows, they never knew the horror
that occurred off-screen — live adult stage performances, lawsuits and
cutthroat competition. What started off as risqué and
sexy by 1954 standards ended as risqué and
sexy by 1984 standards. Horror hosts affected 30 years of
television history... a phenomenon that is not known by today's
generation but well remembered by the "baby Boomers" and now chronicled
for future generations. Inside Creatures of the Night That We Loved So Well,

Comments:
I received your book today. I believe it is the finest book on TV Horror Hosts I have ever seen, and I have quite a few. The most throughly researched, written, and illustrated book available on the subject. I am proud to own the book. Thank you very much. Also, the fan club items included really brought a smile to my face. Takes me back to the days of my local Shock Theater out of Tampa with Shock Armstrong, and Dr. Paul Bearer on St. Petersburg's Creature Feature and Fright Theater. Congratulations on a work well done. Bobby Guthrie Much of this
365-page book is packed with detailed reference material that has been
sadly lacking in earlier volumes on the subject.
People interested in Southern
California and National Horror Hosts from their very beginnings in the
early 1950's to today, will love this book. It is a MUST for
monsterkids and scary movie rugrats who delighted in staying up late in
the 50's and 60's to watch the classic Universal monsters lumbering
accross their flickering B&W TV screens. The Horror Hosts and Hostesses are presented here with numerous photographic illustrations, bits of scripts, movie playlists, TV Guide display ads - even court transcripts (Remember when Ottola Nesmith was sued by Frankenstein actress Mae Clarke?).HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Adam Love Cover price is $24.95
