Just watched American Scary via Netflix and enjoyed it for the reminder of my youth spent on Saturday afternoons watching WKBD Channel 50's Sir Graves Ghastly host a horror/monster movie (on those Saturday afternoons that my parents weren't dragging me all over SE Michigan for grocery shopping or what have you). I even had a picture of Ghastly hung up on my bedroom door that I got after sending in a drawing to the show for the drawing submissions segment. Even though the picture of Sir Graves wasn't scary during the day I do distinctly remembering closing the door just enough at night so that it couldn't look in at me while I slept.

American Scary is pretty good even if you didn't have a horror host in your youth and if you have Netflix it's very worth your time to give it a viewing.

So who was/is your Horror Host? Any memories you'd like to share?

My scary movie host as a kid was Dr. Creep on Saturday night's Shock Theater, Channel 22 WKEF in Dayton. Sadly gone now. I still remember his run for President. Short video here:

Thanks for posting that "American Scary" was on Netflix, just watched it.
First horror host I remember was Mr Seymour, and then on cable in the 80's from Indiana, Sammy Terry. I taped about every episode of Sammy Terry, unfortunately all on Beta tapes. I think it was only 4 or 5 years ago that I figured out that "Sammy Terry" was meant to sound like Cemetary. Duh!

Bob Wilkins & John Stanley with Creature Features in the San Francisco Bay Area! It is thanks to my dad (who appeared as a guest on the show at one time) really that I remember this, or else I probably wouldn't have. Also to August Ragone to helping me fill in the gaps from time to time

Green Dragon- I moved to Sacramento in 1990, a few years later one of the local stations was doing a big anniversary and asked Wilkins to come back and to a show for nostalgia. They showed "Attack of the Mushroom People", I really wish i still had my VHS tape of this, it was in the mid 90's, especially sicne Wilkins passing a couple of years ago.

Yep Grandpa Munster was pretty much THE guy who introduced me to the wonderful world of Godzilla.

What's kinda funny is that a few years later we actually moved from Olympia, WA to Atlanta, GA. Plus then I saw Gremlins 2 on the big screen, where they kinda poke fun at that particular character (and that particular station as well).
