I found this by accident, bought it and loved it! I miss the old Horror Hosts. I have such fun, scary memories of watching Roland, Dr. Shock and Stella in Philadelphia. I was so excited to see that Stella made the DVD cover!!

A Look back at the Creature Feautre/Late Night Horror Movie hosts, Some Well known and loved such as Vampira and Elvira,others not as popular. A very entertaining and refreshingly different documentary.

3.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED Mar 7 2009
By Joseph Capuana - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
American Scary is a tribute to the golden age of the horror hosts. It contains some footage and interviews featuring Mike Price (Baron Daemon) and Alan Miliar (Dr, E, Nick Witty.) Although I was very excited to view the footage from so long ago, I found it somewhat disappointing.

Because it was less of a historical treatment of the genre and more of a collection of random three-second interviews interspersed throughout the DVD. No mention of Boris Karloff's contribution or the early spook shows and radio broadacasts. Also, many pioneers in the horror host filed like Sammy Terry, Nightmare, Al Lewis (Grandpa Munter), Zumbo were callously omitted.

It seemed to be geared for an audience with a very limited focus, limited interest in history and even greater limited attention span. I am still hoping for a more through treatment of the idiom in the future. There is additional footage of Baron Daemon and Monster Movie Matinee available at:
