American Scary
Showtime: Friday, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. • Asheville Community Theatre
A look at the nation’s tradition of horror hosting from Zacherley to A. Ghastlee Ghoul with interviews from major hosts from the 1950s to the present, along with memories from celebrities and fans who were influenced by these hosts. You’ll follow this American folk-art form from its glamorous beginnings, through repeated waves of popularity, to its scrappy resurgence and survival in the age of cable access and the Internet. The film aims to remind people how much fun local TV could be—and maybe could be again.
