THE NIGHT SHOW
SCOTT VINCENT
In the late 1950s, "The Night Show" on Channel 7 was a key vehicle for screening "Shock Theater" (Universal Horror films), which was a massive ratings success in local markets during that era.
"The Night Show" was a late-night non-hosted horror movie show on Channel 7 (WABC-TV) in New York City during the 1950s; with Scott Vincent as the announcer, most notably known for debuting the Universal horror film package (including
Dracula and Frankenstein) in the NYC market in September 1957. The show probably ran from 1957 - 1958.
"Shock Theater" would take over/replace "The Night Show" with "voice-only" host Scott Vincent September of 1958 with Zacherly" as live television horror host!"
