I stumbled upon this book at the library a few weeks ago and thought it would be a fun ‘Halloween’ book. If you thought Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and her Movie Macabre hosting duties was something unique, guess again.
The author is obviously a fan, historian and connoisseur of classic horror movies and has shared his knowledge of classic horror movie’s transition onto the small screen.
While, as far as I can tell, this is a self-published effort, it is very well organized, with notes, and sources. Occasionally, there was some repetition, but for someone writing about a personal interest, as a fan and enthusiast, the book is remarkably well done and it is obvious the author put some work into it, taking a serious approach to the subject at hand.
While hosted horror isn’t what it used to be- there are still some hosts around- and I agree with the author that there are some prime opportunities for a hosted horror resurgence.
This is an informative trip down memory lane. I haven’t seen all these movies and some I haven’t thought of in ages. I was curious about some of the horror hosts, so I Googled a few of them. It was fun to put faces with names and see a few clips on YouTube.
I also checked to see if I could find any of the really old horror movies anywhere and found a few streaming services that have them available right now, so I might have to watch one or two for Halloween this year.
Overall, this was a great find and was fun and entertaining as well as educational. Anyone who likes history, pop culture, performance arts, or classic horror movies, will want to check this out.
