As readers of my posts know, I am a big fan of
Halloween. This is my favorite time, I
loved decorating the lawn, giving out candy, and of course watching horror
movies. Since horror movies are more fun watching when they are presented by a
horror host, I thought this year I would discuss one of the best, Horror Hotel.
Over the past year my time has been happily spent in some
aspect with the show Horror Hotel.
Readers can read my posts over several years of my Halloween posts and
find a reference to this wonderful show. You can read the following years here.
Let’s get into some of the basics for the show Horror Hotel.
Horror Hotel shows classic and independent horror, sci-fi,
comedy and crime noir movies. It began in (2013) and its first movie
shown was the 1960, properly named, Horror Hotel (a movie produced in
the United Kingdom but set in America, its original title was The City of
the Dead).

The show is hosted by the talented and lovely Lamia, Queen of the Dark. The legendary Greek mother of all vampires. Each week she will give descriptions of the movie, and the actors involved in it. I always mention that the research done on these movies are truly impressive. I will say after meeting her in person, she is one of the most charming and intellegent people you will ever meet, even if she is a vampire. You can follow her on social media, and she is always available to engage and interact with her fans.
Lamia is joined by other members of the hotel such as Lil
Zombie, Lupo the Werewolf, Big Zombie, Sarah the Witch, Spot, Papa Voodoo,
Vlad, Sgt Stone, and Lilith, another figure from Greek mythology (she likes to
stay in her snake form). Their skits in the break of the movies are always fun
and entertaining. The show’s creator and Executive Producer is Ray Szuch, who
not only does a wonderful job on the show, but is also a legend in the martial
arts. Please check out their Cast and Crew section for more information on
everyone who does a wonderful time working to bring this show to you.

| Poster for Horror Hotel |
As I previously mentioned over the last year, I have had the privilege in
dealing with Horror Hotel in aspect more than a fan.
I created an ad for my novel, Legend of the Mystic Knights. This ad was shown on their show
last October, it also will be shown in December of this year (2022) and
numerous times over the past year. Advertising on Horror Hotel is a wonderful
opportunity for you to promote a product or event, reaching a large audience
and customer base that you may have missed before. I encourage you to contact Horror Hotel and discuss
advertising on their program.
In June I was finally able to go to the 2022 Horror Hotel
International Film Festival. I was a
vendor for one of the days promoting the above-mentioned Legend of the Mystic
Knights. I was only a vendor for one of
the days there, as I wanted to enjoy the festival as a fan. Attending this
festival was some of the best times I have ever had.
Here at the festival, you can attend seminars, see vendors,
and view some of the best independent horror movies out there. I suggest you
make plans now to attend the festival which is usually held for several days
around the 2nd weekend in June.
This was the first time I had been a vendor promoting my novel, and Lamia and Ray were so friendly and helpful in that endeavor. I am stating now that you need to make plans to attend the 2023 Horror Hotel International Film Festival which will be held in June 8-11th. Please check out their page to get more details, you do not want to miss this event. Read more about this event on a previous post.
The show can be watched on so many venues on tv and the
internet.
For the internet, please go to their website at www.horrorhotel.net. Here you can find information about the show
upcoming events such as the Horror Hotel international Film Festival and even
watch the show.
Other options are The Monster Channel. This is a great site where you can watch
movies hosted by numerous horror hosts.
For fans of the genre, this is one place you do not want to miss. You can
watch it on Roku or go to their site and even participate in a chat.
Horror Hotel is in process of getting their ROKU channel up and
running. So you will have an option to watch numerous episodes.
Horror Hotel is seen on numerous television stations, so
please go to the Show Schedule section where you can find a local network that
is carrying this show. While you are there do not forget to check out their giftshop.
Many of the readers on this post know how much horror hosts
mean to me. These shows helped form my childhood,
allowing me to be creative, seeing the world from a different perspective. I
would say it is one of the major factors that helped me obtain the skills to be an
author. Lamia, and her cast and crew,
are keeping this wonderful art and tradition alive. They are not only keeping the horror host alive,
but they are also taking it to new level, expanding on what was done before and
making it new and fresh. Of all the
horror hosts I watch, and they are all excellent, I would suggest you never
miss a broadcast of Horror Hotel. I seem to be praising this so much but trust
me when I state that I do not do this show justice.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
