Title: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 07, 2004, 03:20:17 AM Greetings B-Film Fans,
This is Northern California's, SE Virginia's and and now Northern Louisiana's new favorite syndicated horror host Mr. Lobo! My friend Gerry at at Scifilm.org has led mr your way. I hope to talk shop with you folks. Please check out video clips of me online at http://www.cinemainsomnia.com and give me some feedback. I'd like to get some critcism from b-maniacs like you who are "in the know". Y'know? For those of you outside my viewing area(just about everybody) I will be offering complete shows online next month and ther's always your trusty DVD machine. Fine. Okay, I'll see you Saturday night... Your New Horror Host, Mister Lobo Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: trekgeezer on June 07, 2004, 11:28:57 AM So, you are in Monroe, LA. I used to live not far from there. I have bookmarked your site and will visit it often. Good luck on gaining more stations.
Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: TheEvilDoctor on June 07, 2004, 01:24:22 PM Welcome.
Just out of curiosity, you are named after Tor Johnson's role aren't you? Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Gerry on June 07, 2004, 01:41:15 PM Hey, Mr. Lobo, great to see you wandered over this way! I'm sure these guys will give you some excellent feedback.
This is funny stuff guys! Definitely check out the WASP WOMAN wraparound. Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 07, 2004, 02:03:39 PM Greetings Trek Geezer,
Where 'bouts in Northern LA? We're on 100 cable systems in the region and in Soutern Arkansas on KEJB UPN 43. The people of Northern LA in my experience are some of the nicest people I've met! They love the show there and have been giving super feedback to my station. The Programing Director called Friday, wants to expand my weekend programing by another hour! I'm hoping the good vibe will spread like a disease...throughout the south east and eventually all places where they love classic cult and genre films. Thanks for visiting my site. Please leave some feedback on my pathetically inferior forum. I love this Phorum format...we will probably adopt something like this, soon. See You Saturday Night... Your horror host, Mr. Lobo Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 07, 2004, 02:12:41 PM Greetings Evil Doctor,
Even Though Mr. Lobo is a legal Saint in the Church Of Ed Wood. Even though I single handedly brought Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" to our city's film festival and hosted a special midnight showing of "Plan Nine" for my first live Mr. Lobo show. Even though I will host a huge music/film fest on October 17th 2004 called EdWoodstock..."Lobo" is My Real Family Name. No joke. It's the "Mister" that's made up. Your New Horror Host, Mr. Lobo Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Flangepart on June 07, 2004, 03:14:49 PM Hummmm...intersting!
Another HH to add to the list. Promising, that. Lobo, Are you in the Horror Host webring? Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr_Vindictive on June 07, 2004, 05:11:52 PM Lobo,
Very good site. Hope to hear more from you on the boards in the future adn hope to see you on cable here in NC sometime soon! Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 07, 2004, 06:32:02 PM Greetings Flangepart,
Hopefully, you're not talking about a "hit" list. There are quite a few choices out there...I certainly hope you give Mr. Lobo a try. I'd like to think of myself as a taller, darker, Elvira with a moustache, goatee, no breasts, and more modest clothng. I'm listed on something called "TV's Greatest Horror Hosts" Web Ring I have a Graphic with a Link on the lower right column of the Cinema Insomnia site, http://www.cinemainsomnia.com if you want to check the ring out. See You Saturday Night... Your New Horror Host, Mr. Lobo Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 07, 2004, 06:57:43 PM Oy, Skaboi!
Thanks for the compliments! You are too kind! I sure do appreciate the warm welcome I've recieved here at badmovies.org. I am in the process of finding brave new channels and I am also in negotiations with a fledging cable network you may have heard of. Hopefully, Cinema Insomnia will be on in North Carolina soon. Perhaps you could tell me which if any of these stations might be good candiates for this kind of programing? Er, And if any are nearby or you have a phone and you're feeling motivated perhaps you could give Mr. Lobo the name of their programming director. (Boy, are you sorry you mentioned it!)

In any case, if you air here I would be happy to rally up the b movie/ horror fans around your show or website. Welcome aboard.
Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Scott on June 07, 2004, 11:54:52 PM Wow, nice website Mr. Lobo. Really loved my local horror shows from the 70's. CHILLER THEATER and MONSTER MOVIE MATINEE. Hope to see some of your programming in the Atlantic City, New Jersey area. Out of the films from you had last season these are the ones I liked:
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD SANTO VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMAN THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE CARNIVAL OF SOULS THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE A BUCKET OF BLOOD IN SEARCH OF ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS (nice entry) FIRST SPACESHIP ON VENUS GIGANTUS VS.

Thanks for the compliments AND the COMPREHENSIVE feedback on The movies! Mr. Lobo thinks you'd like how we "wrap" them in the show segments. Do you think either of these stations would go for Cinema Insomnia? can you think of any others? These are the only two I have complete contact info for. I still need to get the names of the Program Directors. If you'd got the gumption you could find out for me or tell them to contact me.

It's monster fans like you who are the backbone of the industry! We always need trivia research, fan art, word of mouth, procurement of Indy short films, movie trailers, retro commercials and complete features on 16mm, betasp or DV, postcard distribution, links and plugs on the net, letter writing, phone calls, props, costumes, professional graphics, actors, interviews, fan club, event and convention support, etc... Let's get "Cinema Insomnia" on in Harrisonburg I'd love to get the names of programing directors for these stations...I've always felt there's something weirdly cool about SE Virgina(Virgina beach.

Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Flangepart on June 08, 2004, 05:30:27 PM Well, well, well....this looks like the kinda mutant humor i like!
Dig the horn rims and mustach, Mr. Lobo. Any friend of Doktor Goulfinger is a man to be reconed with! Not to be confused with Amand Rekonwith, the Events director at the Columbus State home for the Reality Impared, where i'm working on my alternate personality, Meatloaf Mike. Amanda Day Rekonwith has a thing for B-movie hosts, has been actors, and small human consuming plants. If she ever offers you the Elderberry wine, do NOT ask for the one with the "Special sauce." Trust me on this.... I gotta get the DVD with "Gigantis"....yes, with humor, there is hope! Title: Re: Horror Host Mr. Lobo comes aboard! Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 08, 2004, 06:40:19 PM You're quite the humorsmith yourself? Are you sure you're NOT Doktor Goulfinger?
My houseplant cohost, Miss Mittens, has only tried to eat me on two occasions in the history of the show...and that's just because she was on the Akins diet! I think classifing her a man eating plant just because of a few isolated incidents is typecasting and speciesist! I met Amanda Reckonwith at Wondercon in SF. He's/She's one of those gender confused cosplay types...hanging out by the snack bar with Erma Giddon and Holly Cost! I seem to attract a lot of those...ever since I became a horror host my status has elevated from freak magnet to freak lightening rod. Now, Mr. Lobo is not judging--just because I put my sock garters on one leg at a time does not give me the right to weirdobash! As for the Elderberries..."I never drink...well, y'know."

His parents were bad, their parents were bad, and the deck is just stacked against him. Plus he could use to wash that pair of jeans once in a while...
Anyway, best of luck and I really dig your choice of films. Right up my alley. Title: Re: Welcome Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 09, 2004, 12:08:23 AM Thanks Andrew. Your reputation is legend.

Post by: Mr. Lobo on June 09, 2004, 12:27:11 PM Greetings Mr. Andrini,
Thanks for the kind words! All that stuff about New Yorkers being obnoxious was LIES! LIES! Mr. Lobo's eyes are opened now! The New York City metro area  is  the DMA Market Ranked #1! We would LOVE to get Cinema Insomnia on in the biggest market in the country. If our deal with "an unamed cable network" goes through we may be able to sneak in "on a wire" through the "side door" or some other better metaphor. Below are some stations you could call if your feeling charitable...send their programing director to our website or get his/her name so we can contact them. That would be HUGE! Of course you can always buy the DVD's--only $15.00 and Mr. Lobo guarantees your satisfaction. "Gigantis: The Fire Monster" and "Creature" are a couple fan favorites...

The slightest inkling of the remote possiblity of abandoning Scifilm never had the vaguest notion of entering the deepest most obscure sub-regions mr. Lobo's mind. Scifilm has been VERY good to Mr. Lobo it is my favorite destination because so many of my most enthusiastic and loyal Cinsomniacs are there, Not to mention some very intellegent contributors who keep Mr. Lobo on his toes...AND the fact that (confidentially) even though I'm a Horror Host I've always had a soft spot for SCIENCE FICTION!(don't tell anyone) Your Horror Host, Mr. Lobo Title: Re: Welcome Post by: Gerry on June 09, 2004, 03:48:05 PM Mr. Lobo wrote:
