Back in the 70’s when I first saw these flick s here in Los Angeles, the horror night was hosted by some guy named Seymore, then Grimsely, then Elvira in the early 80’s
Mmmm....Elvira.... Had a brief crush on her as a teenager, until Rhonda Shear and Up All Night! stole my heart away (I think it was my heart...it’s so hard to tell at that age, LOL).
On the east coast it would have been Zacharly. Bulliagee!
>>>some guy named Seymore
Not just some guy. That was Larry Vincent, who before getting into horror hosting recorded various novelty records. Amongst his better tunes were The Wong Song ( Wong has the largest tong in China) and The Freckle Song ( She has freckles on her - but - she is nice ).
A quite extraordinary artist.
>>>until Rhonda Shear and Up All Night!
Despised her, USA Network took away my Night Flight to make room for that show. Television hasn’t been the same since.
