John Zacherle passed away in his sleep last night at the age of 98! An icon of horror movie hosts to be sure!

He was one of the original "Shock Theatre" hosts, and I think the last one.

Days before Halloween. It seems fitting.
RIP, sir! "Horrible Horror" is a favorite around my house.
When I get to Heaven, I'm gonna track him down and watch some bad movies with him.

Dam-why am I just finding this out-Zacherley? Dang-I was too young to see the original Shock-but his impact on horror fandom was tremendous. Along with Famous Monsters magazine-Zach and Shock started the whole monster boom in 1957-and turned me into whatever I am today.
