Real name: Mike Acord
Years active: 1992 to present
One of the few hosts who changed identities. In 1992, viewers turned in to Time Warner Cable Channel 98 to see Darc of the Night with host Mr. Darc. The show came to an end, as many do, but Mr. Drac's doesn't end there.
Some time after that, Mr. Drac died but was reborn as Lon Midnight, a ghoulish clown in a tux. The difference here is that instead of being on the television screen, Lon Midnight was live and in person, doing something that has largely fallen by the wayside in terms of pop culture. I'm talking about spook shows, live theater events with skits, scary movies, and usually some term of giveaway. He shopped the character around, but as of yet I've not seen him anywhere else.
