David Michael Taylor

David Michael Taylor I just saw it tonight with the Cinefamily and I loved, loved, loved this movie. I learned much more than I expected, which was great. And it made me very happy to see so much of Chilly Billy Cardille up on the screen, and even happier when so many people in the audience applauded his appearance. I'm so glad this movie was made and made so well.

Turnout was both very good and very enthusiastic. There was a line of at least 20 just waiting for the box office to open and I saw very few empty seats. Different pockets of the crowd broke out into new applause with the first appearance of almost every host. Great evening and the Cinefamily really made it into an event.

Adrienne Marta Wow. I found Bob Billbrough on here. You look great. Think of you often. Miss you tons.

Shawn M. Garrett

Shawn M. Garrett Wonderful film - very happy to see Stella. Of course, there'll never be enough time for everyone's fave - like mine, Dr. Shock out of Philly, who took over for Roland/Zacherele when he went to NY. I can satill remember watching "The Vampire's Coffin" and "Robot v. The Aztec Mummy" on SCREAM-IN or MAD THEATER. Excellent documentary - thanks for the memories...

Roger Boyes I finally got to see the film after years of anticipation.
Great job.
I am a bit disappointed that there's no mention of Dr. Paul Bearer though. He is in the show reel after all. :(

There's a small mention of him from Professor Griffin - but unfortunately, he didn't really come up in any other interviews, and the format (no narrator) made it hard to work in many of the others we also couldn't include...

The show reel was made *very* early on, long before we really had an firm idea on how the film was going to come together...

We hope you still enjoyed the film, tho... :)

Hey, who was your horror host? If you're tempted to respond, "Whaddaya mean, my horror host?", you probably grew up in the post-local television era. Which means, you spent your childhood without a mordantly sardonic costumed creep to introduce (and heckle) your Z-grade shock/shlock fare when you were staying up way to...o late. Horror hosts are one of the folkways of TV, beginning in the 1950s when broadcast was both local and live, with the indelible Vampira. Each station spawned its own variations on the theme, from the classic "cool ghoul" Zacherley in New York, to Chicago's undead hippie, Svengoolie, to Cleveland's beatnik-styled Ghoulardi (director P. T. Anderson's father!) It just gets weirder from there in documentary American Scary, which digs deep to discover that before Mystery Science Theater, there was a whole world of campy characters for every kid--and stoned sophomore--to call their own. And we've got our own host, Mr. Lobo, to share even more great goodies and treats that they couldn't pack into the film.....and then, continuing the fine tradition, we'll all watch a rare surprise TV Movie feature from the 70s!Read More
