Info

Most of the items at one timeor another. How often do we look back and say, If only I saved that. These collectibles are highly sought after but impossibly rare to find and when they can be had, go for big bucks. Two other collectibles were Zacherley’s Midnight Snacks and Vulture Stew Horror Stories with introductions by Zacherley. Perhaps, some of the best collectibles still available are the albums and compilations featuring Zacherley. Throughout the years, Zacherley remained in the spotlight constantly, Personal Appearances, Telethons, Halloween Host, Radio Shows, Movies wherever Zacherley went he drew a crowd, sometimes so big that it shut down stores and small towns. One appearance at Macy’s filled the store to overflow. It was the largest crowd Macy’s had even seen, much larger than there legendary Christmas sales. Zacherley was no longer a regional celebrity, He graced the covers and pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland, Creepy, Eerie, Fangoria, comic books and other various magazines. In 1986, Zacherley’s Horrible Horror was released featuring Zacherley doing what he did best, on a dungeon set making fun of films, this time just short clips from all the worst public domain, horror and sci-fi movies . Later released on DVD, this remains the ultimate example of why Zacherley is still so popular today.
The 1990s found Zacherley back in Filmland doing 2 movies for Frank Hennenlotter, Brain Damage and My favorite, Frankenhooker, a darkc omedy about a New Jersey mad doctor (James Lorinz) rebuilds his girlfriend (Patty Mullen) with body parts from exploded hookers. Zacherley plays a weatherman. During this time Zacherley signed with Chiller Theater Productions to host their twice yearly conventions held in New Jersey. The conventions have proved overwhelming successful reuniting Zacherley with legions of fans from yesteryear but more importantly a new generation of fans. Zacherley would be there entertaining fans, singing with the Dead Elvi, the Chiller house band and hosting many of his own Shock Theater films. For 25 years, (50 shows) Zacherley never missed a show. He performed on stage with the Dead Elvi more than 50 times. In 2015, Zacherley retired at the age of 97. For more than 50 years Zacherley has entertained us, made us laugh and really made horror and sci-fi films mainstream. In 2006, indepennt filmmakers John E. Hudgens and Sandy Clark. Brought us American Scary, A Tribute to the Golden Age of Horror Hosts. The documentary features 60 Horror Hosts from all over the country. Of course Zacherley figures prominently into the story receiving first billing. From this we learned that the greatest horror host ever, never saw a horror film before he started at Shock Theater. I think most of all, like Vincent Price, Zacherley had an unmistakable voice but most of all he had a laugh that made us laugh. So with that, we’ll leave you with Zacherley’s famous sign-off... Goodnight . . . Whatever You Are!!
