Real name: Jay Robert Jennings
Years active: 1989-1990
Moving into the 1980's, we have a short lived host, albeit longer lived than most. Dr. Acula ("Not Dracula...Dr. Acula!") hosted the titular show on Los Angeles's Public Access Channel 3 in 1989. The program was mostly 22 minutes of an edited black and white movie. Sadly the show was done in, not by moral guardians or ratings, but rather the station's bankruptcy. A year later the good doctor returned to host a Halloween special on the channel, but it was too late. The lack of funding drove a stake into the show's heart.
Dr. Acula did manage to start up a website and sold copies of his show directly to the public, but as it was hosted by Geocitites, I'm not entirely sure I should link to it.
