The Count
Gore De Vol Television Filmography . . .
|
|
|
|
|
"Greetings! I am the
Count Gore De Vol!"
It is 11:00 on a
random Saturday night in the Washington D. C. area and you are a
horror junkie. These words of welcome (and invitation) emanate over
the airwaves from WDCA Channel 20 and you are tucked in tight for a
night of fright, innuendo and hometown satire. The light from the
TV throws a blue-white glow into your darkened room. As you munch a
handful of Joe Namath Air Popped Popcorn, a suave vampire sips a
dubious concoction from a Redskins mug between political jabs and
attempts to pick up centerfolds . . .
|
 |
But what year is it?
1973? 78? 84? 87?
|
For those trying to trace that
particular memory, I offer the following: This list of films shown
on WDCA's Creature Feature hosted by Count Gore De Vol from 1973-79
and later from 1984-1987 as archived from the Washington Post. No
guarantees are made for the veracity of these entries, but they are
made in good faith. In other words, if you find errors, let me know
at
editor@creaturescape.com and we will try to take care of
it. Until then . . . may all your blood be warm!

1973 |
What an exciting time to live in DC!
Watergate, Deep Throat (both of them), Vietnam, the Skins losing the
most boring Superbowl of all time and the arrival of a vampire
exiled from Paducah. It began in the dead of winter . . .
