Welcome to day 16 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown from the lab! 🎃 Tonight we're looking at Late Night with the Devil, a 2023 indie gem. This one’s a wild ride, styled like a documentary about a disastrous 1977 Halloween broadcast of a late-night talk show hosted by Jack Delroy, played by David Dastmalchian, who has a bit of a horror host history himself in several different ways.

Welcome to Day 15 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown from the lab! 🎃 Tonight we're looking at The Stand, a 1994 ABC miniseries based on the Stephen King novel. This four-part TV movie has a fun cameo from horror host Joe Bob Briggs, aka John Bloom, playing Deputy Joe Bob Brentwood. Joe Bob, the lovable redneck host of Joe Bob’s Drive-In Theater and later The Last Drive-In on Shudder, brings his B-movie charm to this small but fun role.

Welcome to Day 13 of our Ghost Host Halloween countdown! 🎃 Tonight’s pick is The Milpitas Monster, a super charming, low-budget indie film from 1976, shot on 16mm by a high school teacher, Robert Burl, and his film class in Milpitas, California. It’s a wild story about a giant, winged creature born from a landfill, wreaking havoc and scaring folks at a high school dance. Enter TV horror host Bob Wilkins, playing a monster expert, Dr. Lindsford. Bob, a Bay Area legend from Creature Features, brought his warm, cigar-smoking charm to this scrappy little movie. It’s a fun, ambitious project with a big heart, and you can watch it right here on YouTube.
Welcome to Day 12 of our Ghost Host Halloween Countdown 2025! 🎃 Tonight, we’re diving into Bubba Ho-Tep (2002), a horror-comedy gem starring Bruce Campbell as an aging Elvis Presley (or is he?) teaming up with “JFK” to battle a soul-sucking mummy in a Texas nursing home. Featuring horror host Dan Roebuck as Dr. Shocker, playing a bumbling coroner, this cult classic mixes laughs, heart, and a quirky monster. Check it out and tell us what you think!

Welcome to Day 10 of our Ghost Host Halloween Countdown 2025! 🎃 Tonight, we’re diving into The Outlaws Is Coming (1965), a wild slapstick comedy with the Three Stooges, Adam West, and Nancy Kovack as Annie Oakley. Set in 1871 Wyoming, this film has a fun twist: the villains, including Wyatt Earp played by horror host Bill Camfield (aka Gorgon from Nightmare), are all kids’ show hosts! Gorgon hosted classic horror flicks in Texas during the ‘50s, and his cameo makes this a unique pick for our countdown. Check out this gem for some Stooges chaos and clever marketing. Join us tomorrow for more!
