Horror Hosts sometimes make watching B ( or less ) horror movies fun to watch:

From Elvira to Svengoolie, Local Horror Hosts' Frightfully Fun History

Every night across the U.S. local horror hosts don masks and costumes to tell jokes and revel in the absurdity of classic horror films.

Thanks to my Dad's ChannelMaster motorized directional TV antenna back in the day, I go to watch horror hosts in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and (on a good night) Indianapolis. In my travels over the years, I've also seen horror hosts in various cities, including Elvira's first local show in LA in the early 80s.

My favorite host was the "Cool Ghoul" out of Cincinnati. Interesting guy, he also doubled as a news anchor on the same station back in the 70s. His show was a bit edgier than most, but the character was a hoot.

These guys made the Sat movie fun. I remember Sir Graves Gastly and the Ghoul.
