John Zacherley, the Cool Ghoul
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Those of us of a certain age and of New York vintage recall fondly the zany days of ghost host John Zacherley (or Roland as he was called in Philly). Well, Zach is still with us and still appearing at conventions, specifically
Chiller Theatre Expo, which is happening in the wilds of Parsippany, New Jersey this April 17 -19, 2009. Zach also has his own glorious web site Zacherley, the Cool Ghoul, and you can keep up with the macabre antics of the greatest horror host of all time.
