Greetings, night creatures! The Midnight Shadow Show is a thrilling peek inside the monster-filled mind of an actual television horror host. For five glorious years, Professor Griffin has hosted Hollywood horrors and terrors, carnival style, every Friday night on Prof. Griffin's Midnight Shadow Show, the premiere television horror hosted theater in Texas. For the sake of entertainment, Prof. Griffin has bravely surrounded himself with cinema creatures and matinee beasts, television phantoms, drive-in madmen and Halloween ghouls. Now, Prof. Griffin and his alter ego, Joseph Fotinos, offer readers a collection of essays, poems, short musings and film reviews that Griffin/Fotinos has written on the subject of horror entertainment. Fan questions, online horror message boards, and internet discussion groups inspired many of these writings while others simply flowed from the monster mind of Prof. Griffin. The Universal classic monsters, Jason Voorhees, vampires, zombies, drive-in movies, Halloween, Hammer Films, tributes to Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Lon Chaney, Ray Bradbury and much more are contained within the haunted pages of this book. So prepare yourselves, night creatures, buy your ticket, and step through the curtain. Let Prof. Griffin fill your head with monsters.
