Creatures of the Night That We Loved So Well

What a great find today. I was looking for the channel 9 Sci Fi show cfrom the 1960's called Strange Tales of Science Fiction for the theme song , Out of this World, by the Creed Taylor Orchestra (Crazy where the Internet takes you....) when I came across this great book:

Creatures of the Night

That We Loved So Well

 

TV Horror Hosts of Southern California

 

by James M. Fetters

The book can be downloaded from Scribed

 Creatures-of-the-Night-That-We-Loved-So-Well

Or you can read the embedded version of the book at the end of my post. Here is what they said about the book on scribed:

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, you will find:

• Little-known trivia
• Over 250 photos, ads, and images--many never seen before
• Movie listings by date
• Actual scripts
• Interviews with hosts and writers
• Identities revealed for the first time

Please enjoy the book. That's it from 1313 El Potro.
