Horror Host 2023 Retrospective: Count Zappula

 Real name: Don Melvoin

Years active: 1976-1992 (?)


This year we take a look at the hosts of the Wolverine State. Yup, Michigan is going to kick things off and we have quite a few hosts that hailed. 

First we take a look at Count Zappula. Played by longtime local TV fixture (played Deputy Don for the kid afternoon matinee) Don Melvoin out of Traverse City on WGUTV Channel 29, Don was a vampire. Count Zappula's Horror House ran until 1980, although I've seen where the show was until 1992. 

I've seen where he also played a character Dr. Maniac but I haven't found anything on that.
