Artist Glenn Chadbourne

Glenn is now a TV horror host! From a recent article:

Each episode of “Gruesome Glenn’s Friday Fright Night” will feature a different horror film available in the public domain for broadcast.

Newcastle artist Glenn Chadbourne, best known for his illustrations of Stephen King books, will host the show with Dana Brown producing.

Brown said he and Chadbourne are connoisseurs of the horror genre and will be able to add some flavor and context both before and after the films. Among the list of films the two plan to show are “Nosferatu” and “Night of the Living Dead.”

Glenn posted this on Facebook yesterday, along with the photo below.

So this was beyond fun. We wrapped four episodes and I’m thrilled with the intro graphics. First episode debuts this Friday at nine pm. It’s going on the roku channel, you tube, and stations throughout Maine, and it’ll stream everywhere on LCTV.org under Gruesome Glenn’s Friday Fright Night. Truly a blast. I grew up watching a bevy of horror hosts and I always loved their cheesy intros–and now I get to slather on my own cheese!

Here’s the promo video for the show:
