Zacherle(y) Visits Drive-In Theater
Added 2021-06-26 05:40:15 +0000 UTCiI don’t have an exact date on this (yet!), but it’s so amazing I had to share right away! Until I found this, I’d only ever seen Zacherle’s visit during Horror Host Month. (Still looking for that, btw…I’ll definitely post it once I find it!) Zacherle is sincerely one of JB’s heroes, and i know this was truly a special moment for him. ❤️
****UPDATE: Big thanks to our f(r)iend Ben who was able to figure this out this episode aired Feb. 13, 1987 as part of a triple feature. NOES, Invisible Strangler & Silent Madness were the flicks.
Thanks so much, Ben! ❤️❤️❤️******
Enjoy this bit o’ Drive-In history, and I’ll be back with something fun tomw to help you tear the heart outta Splatterday Night! 🤠
Side Note: Usually when he was in Horror Host mode John Zacherle had a “y” at the end of his name, but since they wrote it on screen with just an “e” for this segment, I’m crediting him that way here.

I grew up in NYC watching Zach and listening to him on WNEW FM where he was a rock DJ! Joe Bob's eulogy for him on The Last Drive-In literally choked me up. Thank you for uploading this classic moment!

2021-08-23 22:50:56 +0000 UTCThat’s why I support this Darcy. This kind of content should be preserved and cherished. To think that was just sitting somewhere on a film reel. Makes me shudder… I hope it’s not the last… Footage with Joe Bob Briggs and Zacherley. It’s drive in me crazy thinking about classic films sitting in a vault. It should be on display. At the last drive in… PUNS… I’ll shut up now lol.

2021-06-29 00:19:24 +0000 UTCThis is my first real look at Zacherley. It's fun! It's very cool that JB stepped back and let Zacherley do his thing. Mad respect!
2021-06-27 22:16:32 +0000 UTCThat Country Cuzzins poster looks cool!
2021-06-27 03:21:40 +0000 UTCInvisible Strangler aka The Astral Factor sounds gnarly. 3 different directors “credited” yet they all went uncredited!
2021-06-27 03:21:11 +0000 UTCI searched on newspapers.com. Speaking of F13, I would love an archive of the IV and VI double feature on November 1987. Some of the triple feature fridays from Weekend Multiplex would be nice as well.

2021-06-27 02:32:35 +0000 UTCI was looking a few places doing deep dives for this info, and I found this photo. I've served society and our country for 15 years, but you, madame, are a damn American hero for wearing this and looking like this. Keeping the nerd squared crowd alive and with high blood pressure. https://qcnerve.com/drive-in-critic-joe-bob-briggs-scores-with-c3-lab-crowd/

2021-06-26 16:54:35 +0000 UTCHi D — Judging from the great binder, this episode aired Feb. 13, 1987 as part of a triple feature. NOES, Invisible Strangler & Silent Madness were the flicks.
