Horror Host Retrospective 2015: Spookman Dan

Real name: Dan Turner
Years active: 1982-1985






Funny enough I wasn't even aware of this host until I found an old episode of TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes. Elvira was the guest and they showed a slew of horror hosts who were active around 1982. Spookman Dan made the cut.

Hosting Late Night Fright Theater on KVIQ Channel 6 in Eureka, Spookman managed to be low key in appearance and over the top in manner. He did a brief go as a speakeasy owner a few years ago, but that business seems to have closed. As of 2011 he's back and on Youtube.
