"It's the only joint in town where you wish you could join the undead immediately... and that can be arranged." Today I present the stunning Ivonna Cadaver, hostess of Macabre Theatre, which was first launched on KDOC Channel 56 in Los Angeles, California on October 31, 2002. Macabre Theatre was nationally syndicated in 2005 and is currently airing in 172 markets across the United States. Ivonna has been referred to as the "Fresh Face of the Undead for the Next Generation of Horror". In addition to hosting, she is horror correspondent for red carpet events for the biggest Hollywood Studios including Universal, Sony, and Paramount. Ivonna was twice invited to Knott’s Scary Farm Halloween Haunt to perform "I Kissed a Ghoul", a parody of Katie Perry's song "I Kissed a Girl". Ms. Cadaver absolutely loves what she does, she loves her fans, and she loves her fishnet stockings; I think I speak for everyone when I say we love them too! In 2016, Natalie Popovich - "Ivonna Cadaver" for "Macabre Theater", was inducted into "The Official Horror Host Hall of Fame".

He was an obvious choice to become a horror host. Today I present the Butch Patrick, co-host of Macabre Theatre, which was first launched on KDOC Channel 56 in Los Angeles, California on October 31, 2002. Macabre Theatre was nationally syndicated in 2005 and aired in 172 markets across the United States. Patrick co-hosted the show with the lovely Natalie Popovich AKA Ivonna Cadaver until 2012. The show featured clever skits, celebrity guests, and outrageous unexpected surprises. It's not surprising that Butch Patrick would eventually become a horror host. He's better known to most as Eddie from the 1960's TV classic The Munsters. In one of the best loved episodes of the series, "Zombo", Eddie wins a contest to be on TV with his favorite horror host Zombo and to his great disappointment, Eddie discovers Zombo to be a fake. Unlike Zombo, Butch kept his horror hosting real. The following is a promo for the show: "Macabre Theatre" promo from The Professor's Scary Clips on Vimeo.
