Horror Host 2022 Retrospective: Bestoink Dooley

 Real name: George Ellis

Years active: 1962-1975


Had some time left, so why not look at another state? The rest of the month we'll be looking at the horror hosts of Georgia. Bestoink Dooley was one of the bigger ones, hosting the Big Movie Shocker on WAGA-TV Channel 5 out of Atlanta. Ellis also did double duty with an afternoon kid's show too. 


I suppose the only way to describe him was theatrical. Mr. Ellis loved cinema, even running his own theater and acting in several local films.
