THE SPOOKY MOVIE


JOHN DIMES - "DR. SARCOFIGUY"
LEANNA CHAMISH - "BOO DEPEST"



"The Spooky Movie" is a hosted horror movie show with John Dimes as "Dr. Sarcofiguy" presenting movies on Friday and Saturday nights on Falls Church Cable (FCCTV), Cox Cable Channel 12 Fairfax County, Virginia from Halloween 1995 -till about 2005. From the Horror Host Underground Website profile: "Isn't that charming...!" Part video Yule-log / part performance art / part sacrificial rain dance, "The Spooky Movie" has received national recognition as one of the most original horror host shows ever made. Hosted by the world's only African-American horror host, "Dr. Sarcofiguy" (played with reckless abandon by author and actor, John Dimes), TSM quickly became a cult favorite in the third largest cable system in the country. Funny, edgy, and always unpredictable, TSM never took itself, or the movies, seriously.

If your mental disorder is out of order, then you may need a doctor... but certainly not this one. Today I present Dr. Sarcofiguy, host of The Spooky Movie on Channel 12 in Fairfax, Virginia, which ran from 1995 to 2006. Dr. Sarcofiguy was the first black horror host and also awarded the Presidency of Monsterland by Karlos Borloff. Once considered a "normal" doctor, he is now on the road to recovery and certifiable insanity. Dr. Sarcofiguy could be considered a health care professional; that is if you don't take other health care professionals into consideration. Dr. Sarcofiguy occasionally releases patients he deems "Lemon Pi" back into the general populace. One such patient, Mr. John Dimes is still unaccounted for; use caution when approaching this patient as he is considered extremely talented and comical. So unless you are seeking a like mind, seek medical help elsewhere tomorrow.



In 2017, John Dimes - "Dr. Sarcofiguy" for "The Spooky Movie", was inducted into "The Official Horror Host Hall of Fame".
