From Vampira to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, female horror movie hosts have long been a staple of late-night television. Broadcast on local stations and cable access channels, characters such as Moona Lisa, Stella, Crematia Mortem and Tarantula Ghoul brought an entertaining blend of macabre camp and after-prime-time sexuality to American living rooms from the 1950s through the 1990s. Despite a near total lack of local programming today, the tradition continues on the Internet. Featuring exclusive interviews and rare photographs, this book covers dozens of
dream ghouls
with alphabetical entries, from Aunt Gertie to Veronique Von Venom.
