Flipping through a huge stack of dusty 'ol hep 'TEEN magazines at an antique mall last week (no, not those kinds of teen mags!), and if spotting a frisky cute Fall picture of actress Carol Lynley on the cover of the October 1958 issue wasn't enough, then the "Why Ghouls, Tarantulas Haunt Teenage TV" article blurb near the bottom left would have likewise surely grabbed my undivided attention. It's a brief but fun little 2-page write-up (by "Carmella Cleaver", no less!) about the popularity of 50's late nite TV horror host shows (NOTE: this article was published 3 years after VAMPIRA was booted off the air), and focuses mostly on iconic "Cool Ghoul" Zachary, as well as Portland Oregon's fiendish KPTV fave, Tarantula Ghoul!
