RIP JOHN ZACHERLE...


Whether under the label of Zacherley or Roland, you set the standard for horror hosts to follow. You were also the best of showmen, adding insight and humor to the wonderful films you shared. Forever in our hearts, you will remain the coolest of ghouls.

    Actually, John Zacherle allowed Joe Zawislak (Dr. Shock) to pattern his make-up after the Zacherly/Roland character. This allowed Zawislak to dominate the Philly area for a good decade (i.e., until his untimely passing in '79). There are definitely brotherly similarities between the two horror-hosts icons.
