Terror! Theatre (1957)

TERROR! THEATRE

KCOP-TV, 1957

Cast: Dan Riss (Dr. Diablo)

Terror! Theatre was a television program that featured old horror-thrillers hosted by a 3000-year-old, dark and sinister-looking character named Dr. Diablo. The show aired every Tuesday night at 8:30 pm from September 3 - December 3 of 1957 on L.A.'s local television station KCOP (Channel 13).

The grim Dr. Diablo was played by hard-working actor Dan Riss (Two Lost Worlds; Ma Barker's Killer Brood), sporting a dark cloak, long mustache and goatee that complimented the diabolical persona. Dr. Diablo's favorite pastime involved poisons and he had a vulture for a pet. Unfortunately, very little else is known about the mysterious host and the obscure show itself since it ran live on the air and only lasted a mere three months.

At the time when Terror! Theatre made its debut, horror movie hosting was a new concept for television, having only been attempted previously on Chicago's localy popular Murder Before Midnight at WBKB (1950-1953) and with the highly successful Lady of Horrors (a.k.a. The Vampira Show) on KABC (1954-1955) and Vampira on KHJ (1956). Additionally, many of the films -- like Revenge of the Zombies, The Vampire Bat, The Face of Marble, etc. -- that were shown on Terror! had previously been hosted by the mystical Swami at WBKB and aired as part of the glamour ghoul's own line-up over at KABC and KHJ.

There are many possibilities that could have contributed to the abrupt cancellation of Terror! Theatre and why it quickly ended up as a forgotten piece of television history. For one, the show's date and air time would have best been effective during the weekend and/or at a later time when there would have been little competition from other popular programs. Instead, Terror! was forced to compete with The Big Story, Broken Arrow, City Detective, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, Meet McGraw, and The Red Skelton Show. Perhaps the biggest hindrance to Terror! Theatre occurred on October 1, when a competing station, KTLA (Channel 5), debuted its own horror movie program Nightmare! (1957-1958) The rival show's host was a demented but delightful old woman, played by Ottola Nesmith (Invisible Ghost; The Wolf Man) and showed a much more popular array of horror pictures like Frankenstein (1931), Dracula (1931), The Invisible Man (1933), and Werewolf of London (1935). Nightmare! also had the advantage of airing an hour later after Terror! Theatre's timeslot. At 9:30 pm, Nightmare! had less competition to worry about and fated Terror! and Dr. Diablo to a hasty demise. Other contributing factors that resulted in Terror! Theatre's cancellation can also be attributed to a poor budget and very little advertising or promoting.

Evil Trees: Film & TV List

Bloodoak, Ya-te-veo, and the man-eating Madagascar tree -- these and other malicious trees have haunted us throughout the ages in folklore and in the pages of literature. Tales and images of evil trees are especially effective in disturbing the imagination and terrifying many... especially at campfires and on Halloween night. Despite popular interest in them, it is odd that very few films and television programs have placed these nightmare-inducing monsters in the spotlight where they deserve to be. Most often, cinematic evil trees have been displayed as secondary antagonists or reduced to simply being minions of other villains. However, whenever the sentient creatures DO appear, they make quite an impact on audiences. Only a handful of films have dared to make these characters the stars of the horror picture, but SP feels there ought to be more and, therefore, dedicates this post to our tree fiends who continue to fascinate and frighten us shitless!!!!
