Real name: Ruth Sprayberry
Years active: 1963-1965
Here's one that I stumbled over, and as best as I can tell the first female host from Louisiana. Hosting Terror! and Terror II (double feature) on KSLA-Channel 12 in Shreveport. She also hosted the Witching Hour on the same channel for a few months in '65.
The show seemed like a big deal at the time, even having a special guest star in the form on Lon Chaney, Jr. Evilun seemed to be taking a page from Vampira, in that she was a ghoul in a slinky black dress. Accompanied by Malicea (Billie Jaradine), a wayward witch who's broom took the wrong turn in the jet stream, the ghouly gals hosted films late on Saturday night.
She passed away in 1995.
