Chicago TV Horror Movie Shows
Chicago TV Horror Movie Shows: From Shock Theatre to Svengoolie | Ted Okuda, Mark Yurkiw
1 post | 2 to read
By the last 1950s, studios saw television as a convenient dumping ground for thousands of films that had been gathering dust in their vaults. Distributors grouped them by genre-- and Chicago's tradition of TV horror movie shows was born. From giant grasshoppers to Dracula epics, Okuda and Yurkiw take a comprehensive look at these programs, with career profiles of the "horror hosts," a look at the politics behind the shows, and broadcast histories, as well as guides to many of the films themselves.
