I'm a sucker for hosted horror shows, classic or new. Even when they're not very well done, I appreciate the effort. Fortunately, there are many to choose from online. Was looking for something to supplement Svengoolie (and make up for not being able to get Marlena Midnite these days) and ran across this.
Creature Features at https://creaturefeatures.tv/ and on Youtube.
I was somewhat aware of the history of the classic show but had no idea someone had taken up the mantle. This version has a retired musician, his droll butler, his ward the delightful Tangella and the frequent target of her hijinks, the handyman Handrew. All residing in the usual haunted mansion.
Movie selection is a bit more varied than the usual public domain stuff, though there is plenty of that as well. There's a fun running gag about their movie promo art, which may slightly overpromise on what you actually get. Prints have been lovely on what I've watched so far. Production values are decent. Some things, like guest segments, are a little slow sometimes. It's not perfect, but there are enough clever bits and good intentions that I'm adopting them for now.
Upgraded reruns drop Wednesday nights on Youtube and new shows are live Saturdays at midnight Eastern.
Watch some Tangella clips at least. She's a hoot!
