I compiled them into compilation videos from each decade, starting with the 1940s and going through his last few appearances in the 1990s - a total of six and a half hours of footage! This was a lot of fun to put together, and I hope you'll enjoy the series and celebrate the work and life of the merchant of menace, Vincent Price!</p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1940s</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gaylQzI9xN0?si=JiqdRyZ3vtTu5B3t" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1950s</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/d9dksMHixaU?si=blIxQLj4HnKwmqyk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1960s</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/90ERgkhxqzs?si=ZqKYt8dk1iVJd_Cx" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1970s</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3fJmbi_MnKo?si=pfLb5YPUk73zC0or" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe> </p><p style="text-align: center;"> 1980s and 90s</p><p style="text-align: center;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FNWrsaT6-fM?si=ojHZihJwddkrxCSk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

<p> Welcome to Day 30 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown brings us
Munster, Go Home!—a colorful, campy big-screen outing for everyone's
favorite spooky sitcom family. 🎃 We dive into how the film differs from
the classic TV show, explore its legacy, and talk a bit about Al Lewis'
later turn as a real-life horror host on Super Scary Saturday. It's a
fun one, even if it doesn't hit all the same notes as the series. Only
one day left—see you tomorrow for the grand finale!</p>Dr. Gangrenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648257521387325546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637916.post-10175473484062524542025-10-29T06:00:00.001-05:002025-10-29T06:00:00.123-05:002025 Halloween Countdown - Day 29 🎃<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7srlDuXocwY?si=_3_WLjZR8dsPkYET" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>
<p> Welcome to Day 29 of the Ghost Host Halloween countdown! 🎃 Tonight, we
dive into the classic horror anthology Black Sabbath (1963), introduced
by the legendary Boris Karloff. This Italian gem features three chilling
tales, stunning cinematography, and Karloff’s iconic hosting—especially
in the American version, which I personally prefer. A true classic and a
must-watch for anthology fans. Let me know your thoughts and which
version you like best! See you tomorrow for more spooky countdown fun.</p>Dr. Gangrenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648257521387325546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637916.post-46006929712244618852025-10-28T06:00:00.002-05:002025-10-28T06:00:00.115-05:002025 Halloween Countdown - Day 28 🎃<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zhMm-Epkdu8?si=CRbbSaqh7i53A_UY" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div>
<p> Welcome to Day 28 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown, Fright fans!
🎃 Tonight’s pick is Dr. Gore — a wild, low-budget mad science flick
made by J.G. Patterson, a former horror host known as The Mad Daddy. It’s
full of cheesy effects, lots of gore, and a whole lot of heart.
Definitely a fun watch for fans of classic grindhouse-style horror. If
you’re into cult indie films with a spooky twist, this one’s for you.
See you back in the lab tomorrow for more countdown madness.

<p> Welcome to Day 27 of our Halloween countdown, Fright fans! 🎃 Tonight,
we’re diving into The Hollywood Strangler Meets the Skid Row Slasher — a
wild, low-budget indie from cult filmmaker Ray Dennis Steckler. It’s not
a polished film by any means, but it’s got that 70s grit and an
interesting horror host cameo with The Vegas Vampire. If you’re into
quirky, rough-around-the-edges horror and obscure flicks, this one’s a
curiosity worth checking out. Let me know if you’re a Steckler fan! See
you tomorrow for more countdown fun.

out The Dead Matter, a fun indie horror flick with vampires, magic, and
zombies — plus some cool horror host cameos from the legendary Big Chuck
and Little John, and Count Devol. Big Chuck’s incredible 47-year run as
a Cleveland horror host is nothing short of amazing, and even though
his role here is small, it’s a nice nod to his legacy. If you love indie
horror and classic hosts, this one’s worth a look. See you tomorrow for
more spooky goodness.

<p> Welcome to Day 25 of our Halloween countdown! 🎃 Tonight, we’re diving
into the cult classic Plan Nine from Outer Space, a quirky Ed Wood film
that’s famous for its low-budget charm and unforgettable cast —
including the pioneering horror host Vampira herself. This film may not
be Hollywood polished, but its cultural impact and memorable moments
have earned it a special place in horror history. If you’ve seen it,

<p> Welcome to Day 24 of our Halloween countdown! 🎃 Tonight, we're diving
into Nightmare in Blood, a fun indie flick with a deep connection to the
world of horror hosts. Directed by John Stanley, who later became the
host of Creature Features, this film is packed with references to the
genre and even features a cameo from the show’s original host, Bob
Wilkins. It’s a quirky mix of horror, humor, and nostalgia, making it a
true fan’s delight. Grab your popcorn, and join us for a look at this
hidden gem.

<p>Welcome to Day 23 of our Halloween countdown, focusing on films with a
horror-host connection. 🎃 Tonight we explore Asylum of Satan, William
Girdler’s low-budget regional shocker shot in Kentucky, featuring two
on-screen horror hosts: The Fearonger and Peter Gory. It surprised me in
a good way and shows how these old regional efforts can still be
entertaining. If you’ve seen it, I’d love to hear your thoughts on
Girdler’s work and this quirky gem. Thanks for watching—see you tomorrow
for another spooky pick.

Tonight we're looking at Late Night with the Devil, a 2023 indie gem.
This one’s a wild ride, styled like a documentary about a disastrous
1977 Halloween broadcast of a late-night talk show hosted by Jack
Delroy, played by David Dastmalchian, who has a bit of a horror host
history himself in several different ways.

Stephen King novel. This four-part TV movie has a fun cameo from horror
host Joe Bob Briggs, aka John Bloom, playing Deputy Joe Bob Brentwood.
Joe Bob, the lovable redneck host of Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater and
later The Last Drive-In on Shudder, brings his B-movie charm to this
small but fun role.

tonight’s a classic you’ve probably all seen: Alfred Hitchcock Presents
and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, both starring the inimitable director
himself as the host! </p><p> Buy a copy of the film (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/46U7jAK</p><p><br /></p>Dr. Gangrenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09648257521387325546noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637916.post-50601238317989254412025-10-13T06:00:00.001-05:002025-10-13T06:00:00.116-05:002025 Halloween Countdown - Day 13 🎃<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/K5D_bjuQXPM?si=nnZ_Jg_WDN_l5cBm" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></div><p>Welcome to Day 13 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown! 🎃 Tonight’s
pick is The Milpitas Monster, a super charming, low-budget indie film
from 1976, shot on 16mm by a high school teacher, Robert Burl, and his
film class in Milpitas, California. It’s a wild story about a giant,
winged creature born from a landfill, wreaking havoc and scaring folks
at a high school dance. Enter TV horror host Bob Wilkins, playing a
monster expert, Dr. Lindsford. Bob, a Bay Area legend from Creature
Features, brought his warm, cigar-smoking charm to this scrappy little
movie. It’s a fun, ambitious project with a big heart, and you can watch
it right here on YouTube.

diving into Bubba Ho-Tep (2002), a horror-comedy gem starring Bruce
Campbell as an aging Elvis Presley (or is he?) teaming up with “JFK” to
battle a soul-sucking mummy in a Texas nursing home. Featuring horror
host Dan Roebuck as Dr. Shocker, playing a bumbling coroner, this cult
classic mixes laughs, heart, and a quirky monster. Check it out and tell

revisiting The Hilarious House of Frightenstein (1971), a quirky
Canadian kids’ show set in Castle Frightenstein. Starring Billy Van as
vampire Count Frightenstein and other zany characters, it’s a
monster-filled variety show with jokes and sketches. Vincent Price
narrates and pops in for fun bits. This fast-paced gem aired 190

<p>Welcome to Day 10 of our Ghost Host Halloween Countdown 2025! 🎃 Tonight, we’re
diving into The Outlaws Is Coming (1965), a wild slapstick comedy with
the Three Stooges, Adam West, and Nancy Kovack as Annie Oakley. Set in
1871 Wyoming, this film has a fun twist: the villains, including Wyatt
Earp played by horror host Bill Camfield (aka Gorgon from Nightmare),
are all kids’ show hosts! Gorgon hosted classic horror flicks in Texas
during the ‘50s, and his cameo makes this a unique pick for our
countdown. Check out this gem for some Stooges chaos and clever
marketing.

we’re sharing a special treat: The Dreadful Hallowgreen Special (2010),
a fun half-hour film featuring three horror hosts—Dr. Gangrene, Penny
Dreadful, and narrator Count Gore De Vol. When pumpkins turn pink and
candy corn goes sour on Shackle Island, Dr. Gangrene and Penny Dreadful
team up to save Halloween from their own mad science and witchy spells.
