During the 1970s-1980s, a multi-talented, self-reliant and creative young actor named Tom Razooly was making an unusual (yet eminently enjoyable) living in northern California portraying a mysterious, top-hatted host of a schlocky late-night television program called, "Horror Theater". Tom's character, dubbed "The Great Razooly", was a sort of macabre master-of-ceremonies who would ominously introduce each B-movie, provide sarcastic segue patter leading into and out of commercial breaks, and act in a variety of short comedic sketches produced on the cheapest of budgets. Horror Theater was a ratings success, and Razooly's natural flair for dramatic and creative performing helped revive TV's on-air hosting tradition.
