At Shadows & Screams, we love TV horror hosts. From our beloved Chicago-area icon Svengoolie to Count Gore DeVol on the web to the countless freaky fellows doing it for nothing on cable access outlets across the country...we love 'em all (well, most of them). And with one of the most famous TV horror hosts – Elvira, Mistress of the Dark – returning to the airwaves this month, we thought it was a good time to pay tribute to the cultural institution of cheap sets, outlandish make-up and jokes as likely to make you groan as laugh. So, this month we ask intrepid Shadows & Screams visitors to come up with a name for their own horror host showcase. If he didn't have such a busy stalking schedule, we thought our pal Myron would make a wonderful host, so here is our sample submission:
Myron Morbidio's Mausoleum of Movie Mayhem
You don't have to use that much alliteration, but I think you get the idea. The program title we like best will win its creator a DVD of Tom Holland's hugely entertaining Fright Night, featuring Roddy McDowall as imaginary TV horror host Peter Vincent. Fright Night is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, so what better time to get yourself a freebie copy?

Ghoul's just want to have fun!
I think it's past time for Doctor Shocker to have his own show, damn it!
Count Fartula's BEan Poppin Bonzo Bash!
