This week I released a project I've been researching and writing for over 20 years - Masters of Terrormonies: The History of Television Horror Movie Hosts in Nashville, TN.
Masters of Terrormonies is the definitive guide to the legendary horror movie hosts
who terrified and delighted late-night viewers on the airwaves in
Nashville, Tennessee from 1957-present.
From the dapper Dr.
Lucifur (Ken Bramming) and the hunchbacked Sir Cecil Creape (Russ
McCown) – Nashville’s most iconic and best-remembered host – to the
modern mad scientist Dr. Gangrene (Larry Underwood), this book dives
deep into the histories of these macabre masters and the broadcast eras
that brought them to life in Music City.
Inside these pages,
you’ll discover detailed biographies about the real-life people behind
the makeup, exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, rare interviews,
vintage newspaper clippings, and never-before-seen photographs and
memorabilia.
Written by Larry W. Underwood, cover by Mark Maddox, interior illustrations by Jeff Wilson, foreword by Dr. Jeff Thompson.
