He wears sleek slicked-back hair and fangs, a cape, an open white shirt, black gloves, high boots, and chains. His name comes from Elvis Presley's version of "C.C. Rider," which is used in the show's opening and closing. His Bat Girls are black-clad vamps who accompany him on personal appearances in his customized Lincoln Count Inental."

He got his name from the classic Elvis Presley hit "C.C. Rider". Tonight I present Count Cool Rider, host of Saturday Fright at the Movies on KFBT-TV Channel 33 in Las Vegas, NV, which ran from 1990 to 2001. The Count was one part Dracula, one part Elvis, with all the swagger that Sin City has to offer. He spoke in with a Transylvanian accent and delivered a pun-filled repartee. He was joined by his "Bat Girls", black-clad vampettes who accompanied him on his personal appearances in his custom Lincoln Count-inental. The Count was portrayed by Danny Koker. Danny has long since hung up his horror hosting cape and has become a Las Vegas entrepreneur, owner of 3 extremely successful businesses in the Vegas Valley. He's currently the owner of Vamp'd Rock Bar and Grill, Count's Kustoms, and Count's Tattoo Company at the Rio Hotel. Currently he can be seen on the History Channel hit show Counting Cars. The Count has left the building... In 2016, Danny Coker - "Count Cool Rider" for "Saturday Fright", was inducted into "The Official Horror Host Hall of Fame".
