The year is 1940 and the time is 11:45pm. You and your friends are sitting in a darkened movie theater, but instead of a film, you are watching a tuxedoed magician lay a beautiful young woman into a coffin, close the lid… and light the thing on fire!

As the girls cover their eyes in horror, the guys wait in anticipation of the next gruesome moment of fear, when their wives and girlfriends would grab onto them for reassurance… All of this, and a midnight horror movie for the price of a single ticket…

The Return of the Midnite Spook Show Podcast takes you back to the heyday of this lost piece of Americana, the Spook Show, where the nomadic Ghostmasters traveled from town to town like a carnival, enticing theatre owners and audiences alike, with FEAR.

This one phenomenon helped to spawn our collective fascination with the macabre. Everything from haunted houses to late night TV horror hosts, and so much more, entered our popular culture thanks to the Ghostmasters and the Spook Show tradition.

Every month will feature a new or a "classic," unabridged interview from the PCJ Films archives. Remember the spook shows through those who experienced it.
