For my Oct 9 "Thrillville" show I'm hosting a "Horror Host Palooza" co-hosted by Berkeley cable access horror host Doktor Goulfinger (www.goulfinger.com) and Sacto's Mr. Lobo (www.cinemainsomnia.com) and featuring Fulchi's "Zombie" (from which I take my moniker here) as well as something from 1974 called "Voodoo Black Exorcist" (anyone out ever seen or even heard of this obscurity? I'm showing it because I want to see it and if I don't, no one else will!)

There's a whole "horror host underground" thriving today, much like Tiki Central, an entire subculture/on-line community of like-minded ghouls hosting old-fashioned horror movie programs all over the country (mostly on cable access). A lot of them are into Tiki, too, so there's a crossover appeal (I'm evidence of that, too). Unfortunately, as with any other niche community, including Tiki, there is sometimes petty in-fighting and competition leading to divisions within the ranks. I never understand that kinda thing, to be honest.

Oh, on late night cable I caught part of "Day of the Dead" and saw that impromptu tiki bar someone on this forum referred to. Another quasi-tiki sighting in an otherwise seemingly incongruous cinematic setting. In the movie, they all wind up on a tropical isle, too.
