Revered horror film historian David Del Valle launches new series HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD.
Writer, film historian and celebrated horror obsessive (and sometime SHOCK contributor) David Del Valle has led a remarkable life on the fringes of Hollywood and has, over his 40 plus years immersing himself in fan culture, collected enough stories to fill the pages of dozens of books.
In fact, Del Valle has indeed released several books over the years (including the well-reviewed SIX REELS UNDER) charting his amusing, often profound and insightful adventures with cinemas most fascinating figures. But now, the genre culture mainstay has partnered up with producers Charles Band and David Decoteau for his first ever TV show; a lively, funny and insightful blast of anecdotal cool called HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD.
HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD is a 20-part series running on FullMoonStreaming, written and hosted by Del Valle, who picks a figure from Hollyweirds storied and often tragic past and tells their darkest true life (and death) tales, often offering incredible, sometimes controversial personal stories of his experiences with them.
Del Valle also shares remarkable exclusive photos culled from his The Del Valle Archives memorabilia collection. Theres truly no other film culture series quite like it, with each fascinating episode of HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD leading and bleeding into the screening of a classic film that figures into the tale being told.
Im so excited to see our little show come screaming into the world, said Del Valle.
HAUNTED HOLLYWOOD works symbiotically with my books, telling my stories about my adventures with genre cinemas greatest eccentrics and their sometimes sad, but always colorful lives. I hope audiences have as much fun watching it as we did making it.
