Welcome...to the graveyard.

Well, I've talked enough about horror hosts, so I thought it was time to actually hear from a horror host- Dick Dyszel (aka Count Gore De Vol) will join me to talk about his long career as a horror host in the DC area. He's one of the great horror hosts of all time, and he'll share his thoughts about:

* How he came up with Count Gore, and where the name came from.

* What it was like working in local television.

* His encounter with a future President, and what dancing had to do with any of it.

* His initial thoughts when he first saw Elvira on television.

* How he was able to air the uncut version of Night of the Living Dead on Creature Features.

* Being the first horror host on the internet.

You can watch the Count on his website www.countgore.com

If you want to learn more about Dick Dyszel/Count Gore you can also watch the documentaries American Scary, and Every Other Day is Halloween which are both currently streaming on Amazon Prime.

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...
