Good article about long time New Orleans tv horror host "Morgus the Magnificent" by J.A. Hernandez.
L'Elvira va començar com una "presentadora de terror" ("horror host"): personatges que presenten i comenten films de terror i ciència ficció de sèrie B a les televisions locals.
La primera de totes va ser la Vampira, interpretada per la Maila Nurmi, a la KABC-TV el 1954.
In case you missed it...

@2cc Well, have you seen the documentary Virginia Creepers: The Horror Host Tradition of the Old Dominion? Virginia Creepers covers the horror hosts of that area (including Count Gore De Vol and Bowman Body, to name two).
Speaking of Bowman Body, there is a documentary focussing on him. Hi There Horror Movie Fans: The Bowman Body and Washington D.C. host Count Gore de Vol is still at it, albeit online at https://countgore.com/
