The Triumphant Return of the Television Horror Host!
March 14th, 2008 | 6:49 am est |
For those of use who grew up watching Count Scary, The Ghoul, Sir Graves Ghastly, Elvira, or even Commander USA, the mere thought of schlock horror flicks hosted by wisecracking characters on ramshackle studio sets is enough to make us instinctively reach for some non-existent, noggin-top rabbit ears in a nostalgic bid to clear the static distortion of our collective memories. Thankfully, we need not lament the death of a bygone era or regret the fact that we’ll never be able to share those memories with our own children any longer, as – at least in the Detroit television market – good-humored lycanthrope Wolfman Mac is primed and ready to revive this long-dormant television sub-genre with his late-night horror show entitled Nightmare SINema.
Liberally peppered with corny jokes, featuring appearances by local bands, and punctuated by vintage television commercials,
Nightmare SINema delivers the perfect combination of laughs and thrills for insomniac, “B”movie-loving horror hounds. Nightmare SINema debuted on Detroit-area public access television back in July of 2007, and has been steadily gaining in popularity ever since. This coming weekend, the show makes it’s big debut on Detroit Channel 20, opening up Nightmare SINema to a whole new audience and providing the next generation of horror fans with dementedly delightful memories that will last a lifetime.
Hop on over to www.nightmaresinema.com for more info, clips of the show, and lots of other goodies… and to Detroit-area movie lovers who decide to stay up late this Friday night – I’ll see you at the haunted drive-in!
