I WAS A TV HORROR HOST SC

Once upon a time there were weird TV hosts in costumes who introduced old horror
and science fiction movies on late-night programming. John Stanley, who hosted
the highly rated "Creature Features" in the San Francisco-Bay Area for six years

met some of the most unusual entertainment icons of the 20th Century. In
addition to an historic overview of creepy storytellers from early movies and
the Golden Age of Radio, this pictorial history, including 559 photos, many in
print for the first time, updates Stanley's exclusive interview material to
describe such leading players as Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, and Gene
Roddenberry of Star Trek, Lucille Ball, Arnold Schwarzenegger, fantasy author
Ray Bradbury, Psycho star Anthony Perkins, Vincent Price, Christopher Lee,
special effects master Ray Harryhausen, B-picture producer Roger Corman, George
Romero, and Star Wars figures Anthony Daniels, David Prowse, and Peter Mayhew.
Stanley also profiles fellow horror hosts Joe Bob Briggs, Elvira, Ghoulardi and
Zacherley. The result is a swirling cauldron of fascinating media history as
only Stanley could recast it! (8718/0-940064-11-1) (C: 0-1-2) NOTE: This item
