Episode 006.1- Addendum of Doom: Close Encounters of the Horror Host Kind

This is a companion piece to Episode 6, which was about the creation and history of Shock Theater and Horror Hosts. When you’re creating podcasts like this, you have great ideas that just don’t make the final cut. Sometimes, though, there’s just more story to tell. Join me as I dig a little deeper into the world of Modern Horror Hosts. And… I make a confession about my own childhood Horror Host, “Uncle Ted.” This “Addendum of Doom” is called, “Close Encounters of the Horror Host Kind!” Enter The Addendum of Doom!   If you like the show, please consider writing a review on iTunes.  It really helps.  Thanks a lot for listening.    You can now subscribe to the Hellbent for Horror podcast now available on iTunes and Stitcher   iTunes link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hellbent-for-horror/id1090978706 Stitcher link: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hellbent-for-horror?refid=stpr   For you, the listeners of Hellbent for Horror, Audible is offering a free audiobook download with a free 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service.
