Um, now, uh...

And then additionally in the, in the years that, that followed after with, uh, other local people were making their own documentaries.

There was Virginia Creepers and, uh, Hello Horror Movie Fans, which were done by a team of filmmakers, um, out in the area.

The first covering just the general history of, of, um, of, uh, the hosts out in the, in that area.

And then at the second was specifically about the Bowman Body who, um, had... was, uh, out there as well.

But, uh, yeah, there was, um, Monster Mansion Memories that, uh, someone had put together about Dr. E. Nick Witty, uh, specifically about him, which was really good.

And then, uh, there was a Dr. Mad Blood documentary as well.

Uh, there was, uh, Mad Frank was done just, just a few years ago.

Um, and, uh, then there were also these other projects that started coming out that kind of, kind of a, a- Hybrid almost of clips and documentary, like, uh, The Zacherley Archives, which is just jam-packed full of really rare footage, and some nice, uh, background material from, from Zacherley.

And then, um, Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Uh, the S- the Mystery Science Theater 3000 scrapbook is essentially a documentary of their early years, and it's excellent.

It's a very good film.

You also had examples of films that featured horror hosts.

And although she wasn't playing her character, it was the exact same look, and she was, um, credited as Vampira in the credits.

And but this is the big one.

This is, um, The Wacky World of Dr. Morgus, made in 1961, which was, um, a regional film made in New Orleans specifically about the character of Dr. Morgus.

And you would si- you'd kind of see the format that developed for, for films like Munster Go Home and stuff like that.

It was just built around his character.

And, um, that was...

It, it's, uh...

It's got all the, the charms of a no-budget regional film.

Yeah.
