In my area, we didn't have a horror host. We did have the after the 10:00 news, late night horror show on Friday nights called Shock Theatre, but it wasn't hosted. It wasn't even the original '50s era monster movie series but just some cheesy titles they posted on screen before and after commercial breaks.

Casandra Peterson grew up here in town where I live. Her parents owned a huge costume rental store that was active from the mid '60s until the early '90s. She left the area in the late '60s to pursue her acting career. She occasionally drops back in to visit friends, but not frequently.
