Highlighting some of the best women horror movie hosts from the 1950’s to the current crop of talented ladies, this semi-biographical compilation features history, accomplishments, pictures and interviews from over a dozen hostesses who have kept the episodic horror showings alive for decades! Who knows, maybe you’ll discover a new favorite in the pages of this book!
Vampira and Her Daughters is available on Googleplay, on Kindle, on Nook and paperback copies can be purchased from Amazon and in-store at Barnes and Noble.
Here’s the book’s description:
“From Vampira to Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, female horror movie hosts have long been a staple of late-night television. Broadcast on local stations and cable access channels, characters such as Moona Lisa, Stella, Crematia Mortem and Tarantula Ghoul brought an entertaining blend of macabre camp and after-prime-time sexuality to American living rooms from the 1950s through the 1990s. Despite a near total lack of local programming today, the tradition continues on the Internet. Featuring exclusive interviews and rare photographs, this book covers dozens of “dream ghouls” with alphabetical entries, from Aunt Gertie to Veronique Von Venom.”
