WHAT IS A HORROR HOST!? WHAT IS THIS!?
"What's Old Can Be Cool Again!"
Grimm Gorri and I started The Mummy And The Monkey in 2014 as fans of the genre. We both grew up in North East Ohio watching shows like "Big Chuck And Lil' John", and "The Ghoul" to name a few. The history of a scary movie, late night weekend host goes back to the mid 1950's. A local TV personality would guide you through a cheesy monster movie and add their own flavor of entertainment. This was when television was new and people had limited viewing choices. Thanks to the various streaming services and multiple subscription services that are out there today, what's old can be cool again. Horror hosts still have a place in modern times for fans to enjoy, even if the new followers were not around to watch those retro shows of yesteryear. To younger people who are not familiar with the term "Horror host", think of our show as a type of Podcast that plays old Public Domain horror, science fiction, and independent films(with permission) in front of a live streaming audience, add some cosplay, and viola! I'm( Janet)happy to be Cleveland Ohio's First female horror movie host on television and online.
We offer skits, bits, and a scary(?) flick!
*As of August 19,2023 we were inducted into The Horror Host Hall Of Fame*
