What's up, y'all? No, that's not me in my avatar pic. That is Mr. Jerry G. Bishop, former Chicago TV personality, portraying the greatest horror movie host of all time, Svengoolie. This guy scared and fascinated me when I was a kid. Instead of slicking his hair back and dawning a cape, Bishop created Svengoolie as a day-glo, hippie vampire, in striped bell bottoms and sandals. He was only on for a couple of years, although there is now another Svengoolie in Chicago, but what he did was groundbreaking and a whole lot of fun.

Ah I *love* horror hosts, there used to be a great one in Pittsburgh (from 1963 to 1983) Chilly Billy Cardille - alot of times the little segway spots between horror movies would be even better then the movies themselves!

I will sometimes watch a program on the local Cable access channel (picture Wayne's World) - called The Horror Host Underground - it showcases current horror hosts across the country. It's amazing what some people do. Horror Host Underground webpage

I've already got the Svengoolie page in my faves. Thanks for that horror host page. That shows what's wrong with TV today. There's so little local color. Everything comes from either NY or LA, and there's a very limited amount of local programming. Local shows really capture the flavor of a community. I'd love to see them return.

I have a new avatar, too.
You sure do, bro. Looks great!

Thanks, Mike. I'm really a pretty warped guy, underneath the boring, nerdy exterior.

I'll miss your old av with the black and green circle
Well, Svengoolie had black circles under his eyes and green hair. LOL

Yes she does! I have a photo of me with her at a horror convention a few years ago. She's even more stunning in person!
Bookmistress, Chilly Billy's last name was Cardille, and I have a trivia question for everyone! His daughter played the lead in a famous horror movie. Can you guess which one and who she is?

The best way to handle stressful situations is like a dog. if you can’t eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away.
