R.I.P. JOHN ZACHERLE

If you grew up in the New York City area in the Fifties/Sixties, chances are you were a fan of John "Cool Ghoul" Zacherle (sometimes he spelled it Zacherly). He hosted horror-movie shows on TV, and he was funny as hell. As a boy I was a huge fan of his, and in later years I discovered to my delight that he was a fan of mine. We corresponded for years and talked a few times on the phone; he even came to one of my signings. He was just as delightful off-camera as on it. He died Thursday at the age of 98, just before Halloween. Wherever he is now, the spirits are laughing.
