Featured Comments/Tips
Excellent documentary detailing the horror movie host on local television hitting its zenith during the 70s and 80s in the US. I actually think they could have done a better job explaining the history and giving a chronological basis for what we see, but it gives a great view of what the horror host experience was...and that ultimately was the most important part. 8/10
