Tombstone 8 (Michael Monahan, "Doktor Goulfinger", Horror Host) (Part 1)

Welcome....to the graveyard.

If you've listened to my previous podcasts you've heard my next guests' name mentioned several times. Michael Monahan (aka Doktor Goulfinger) will be joining me to continue my discussion on horror hosts. He is considered the foremost authority on horror hosts, and in this first part of two shows we will discuss his love of horror and horror hosts, and answer some questions such as:

* Did Night of the Living Dead (uncut) make it's television debut on Creature Features?

* Which Hammer horror film saw it's viewership continue to rise when it aired on late night?

* Which famous filmmaker sent Bob Wilkins a note thanking him for hosting Creature Features and how much it was an influence?

* Which horror host was so popular that the crime rate went down when their show aired?

* Who does Michael consider "horror host royalty"?

* Which classic Universal horror film is Michael's favorite, and why does it hold such a special place in his heart?

Stick around after the interview and I'll talk a little horror- Joe Bob and Shudder, Peter Jackson & Godzilla home video news, and what's going on with the Friday the 13th film series?

The Graveyard Show Podcast can be found everywhere podcasts exist, and I encourage you to subscribe to the GYS channel right here as well.

And as you exit the graveyard I would like to remind you to please...lock the gate behind you...we wouldn't want anyone to get out.

Until next time...
