WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF
VIRGINIA CREEPERS:
THE HORROR HOST TRADITION OF THE OLD DOMINION


IT'S ALIVE!  Back on on one hot Saturday night in 1958, "Ghoulda" began stirring up a brew of live double feature films on Channel 12 in Richmond, Virginia, thus beginning a tradition of late night horror movie hosting in the Commonwealth.  Since then, on the airwaves and internet, Virginia's horror hosts have been breaking ground and making things that go bump in the night a little more manageable. 

 
This documentary will go back to the days when local television was king and into the future with the new breed of "Virginia Creepers."  We are digging up old clips, uncovering information about lost shows and bringing together cast members for interviews.  At the same time, we will be working side-by-side with many of Virginia's current hosts.  And most importantly, we are looking for the FANS . . . this is about your experience as much as anything else!

The film is currently scheduled for completion in the summer of 2009 and should have a few theater screenings before going directly to DVD.

This film will wrap production this Spring and should be ready for purchase by the end of Summer . . . in time for Halloween and the convention circuit.  You can still help and if you have info or materials we might find useful, please let us know.

 

   
LATEST YOUTUBE CLIP: 
Well . . .  hi there horror movie fans . . . the Bowman Body was famous for quite a few things:  his Converse All-Stars, his deadpan delivery and his ukulele to name a few.  The Body entertained audiences from Richmond to Charlottesville to NOVA for more than a decade and here we have a slice of the documentary sure to demonstrate why.  Check out this clip called . . . "Music Appreciation!"
