8 ratings 3 reviews
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
Genres: Horror
