Horror Host 2015 Retrospective: Nightshadow

Real name: Unknown
Years active: Late 1990's-present






Another first; we've had hosts who were doctors, scientists, witches, ghouls, and zombies. First host I've seen who's a professional wrestler.

The Nightshadow is one of those rare breeds known as an indy wrestler. He claims to be a member of the New World Order...although if that's the wrestling stable or conspiracy theory I've been unable to confirm membership in either.

Horror/Kung Fu Theater is/was broadcast in East Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, although I've yet to see which station airs it. The website has long since died, and unlike the host it isn't coming back.

The show seemed/seems inventive. From on top Castle Shadow, surrounded by scores of undead Shaolin masters and other monsters, sits the Nightshadow. From his castle home he focuses on marital arts and the cheesy horror he could find.
