In Philly he was the on-camera host of late-night horror movies under the name Roland, and subsequently in New York he had the same duties but called himself Zacherley. “Zach” emceed the TV debuts of many of the Universal horror classics, from Dracula (1931) on up, doing schtick between reels and sometimes even interjecting himself into the movies. He cut a simultaneously spooky and silly figure with his ghoulish white face, frock coat and loud, exaggerated laugh, but the activities in which he engaged on his dark, dungeon-like set were all for fun: attempting to dig to the center of the Earth, singing opera, etc. His brand of fearsome fun helped make the Universal chillers (and other monster movies) ratings hits in their late-night slots.\u003cbr\u003e      Rich Scrivani, who first met Zach in the mid-1960s and later reconnected with him, wrote about the TV horror host and their friendship in the now out-of-print 2006 book Good Night, Whatever You Are: My Journey with Zacherley, the Cool Ghoul; and now with the help of warhorse Tom Weaver he has provided the follow-up, The Z Files: Treasures from Zacherley’s Archives (BearManor softcover, $19.95).\u003cbr\u003e      The Z Files tells the story of Zach’s showbiz career in an unusual way: by reprinting scores of vintage newspaper and magazine articles published back in his heyday. It begins with reviews of a 1954 play in which Zacherle, then new to acting, appeared, and continues on through his Roland and Zacherley movie-hosting days and even Disc-O-Teen, an American Bandstand-type series from the mid-1960s; Zach, still doing his Mad Transylvanian bit, was the ringmaster amidst garage bands and dancing girls.\u003cbr\u003e      Besides the articles, there are a lot of other ephemera sprinkled throughout: ads for personal appearances, his contract with WABC, hate mail from horror movie fans who disliked his mood-disrupting antics and had to get it off their chests, etc. This part of the book is followed by reproductions of several of his (typed) horror-hosting scripts and (handwritten) notes and prop lists, and then there’s a “Photo Ghoullery” with pics of Zach at various functions and conventions that brings him right up to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e      Casual fans can read some of the livelier clippings and enjoy all the photos while readers with a greater devotion to the Cool Ghoul will savor every last page; what was designed as a scrapbook can actually be read as though it were a career bio (the many articles about his professional life are arranged in chronological order). It’s hard to read (or even browse) the book without a smile; the light, spoofing tone of most of the articles and the outrageous photos are an effective one-two assault on the funnybone. Photo-wise, just for starters, there are shots of Zach in a coffin being carried by college students, running amok in his lab, dancing with high-school beauties, swinging on a swing, posing with “monsters” (fans in costume) at various conventions—and even a lot of pictures of the man contending with a large duck. A LOT of pictures of Zach and the duck. The book is even dedicated to the duck!\u003cbr\u003e      In short, The Z Files achieves its goal by being as weird, wild and woolly—and uninhibited--as Zach himself. It’s a perfect tribute.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Classic Images\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\"A must for all devotees of Horror Host history...

The 101 Scariest Movies Ever Made tackles this with a fresh perspective and an up-to-date list of films. The presentation is well structured and concise. It also contains a foreword by Herschell Gordon Lewis. You will find the titles you would expect, such as Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Suspiria, Halloween, etc. The book does include more recent titles, such as Sinister, The Babadook, and The Conjuring. The earliest film covered is Nosferatu (1922), and the most recent entry is It Follows (2014). There is pretty broad coverage over the decades - it's not all about the eighties. For each film title there are sections including Why it Made the List, Synopsis, Scariest Scene, Memorable Dialogue, Did You Know?. and What the Critics Said. This makes the book highly browsable. The book contains movie posters and stills. For the hardened horror fan you're not going to find anything too groundbreaking. However, this would serve as an excellent entry point to the genre for newcomers. Detailing the scariest scene of the movie is a bit of a spoiler if you haven't seen the film. The Did You Know? and critic quotes were my favourite parts. I like that the critics quotes are from a diverse variety of publications. Of course any book such as this will open up a debate about whether a title should be on the list or not. There are some titles I disagree with, but with 101 films, the coverage is pretty broad. It's a good reference book for a quick read over the titles that make our beloved genre what it is today.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-- Review by Andrew Tadman\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43222504374334,"sku":"mkm1787291712773","price":24.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/the-101-scariest-movies-ever-made-hardcover-edition-by-curry-hayes-pratt-jr-raus_1.jpg?v=1787291718"},{"product_id":"stirling-silliphant-the-fingers-of-god-hardcover-edition-by-nat-segaloff","title":"STIRLING SILLIPHANT: THE FINGERS OF GOD (HARDCOVER EDITION) by Nat Segaloff","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTIRLING SILLIPHANT: THE FINGERS OF GOD (HARDCOVER)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN  9781629330679\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eDuring the 1950s and 1960s it seemed that every TV show was written by Stirling Silliphant.

It starred James Franciscus with Dean Jagger and featured cutting-edge scripts, first-class production values and exceptional acting. It was the first program to portray teachers and students realistically. \"Mr. Novak: An Acclaimed Television Series\" by author, musician and popular culture consultant Chuck Harter is a profusely illustrated study that features: Comprehensive coverage of the original filming and air dates; An episode guide with vintage reviews and fresh perspectives; Interviews with over 35 actors who appeared on the show including Walter Koenig, Martin Landau, Beau Bridges, Tony Dow, Ed Asner, June Lockhart, and Sherry Jackson; Archival interviews with the series' stars and producers; A complete list of the many awards the series received, and so much more. Exceptionally well researched, written, organized and presented, \"Mr. Novak\" provides the reader with a complete and comprehensive profile of one of the finest TV series that ever aired. \"Mr. Novak\" is especially and unreservedly recommended for both community and academic library Television History collections. It should be noted for personal reading lists that \"Mr. Novak\" is also available in a paperback edition (9781629331638, $30.00) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $9.95).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e- Wisconsin Bookwatch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eChuck Harter's MR. NOVAK is a terrific book on the making of a short-lived, little-known (because it's hardly been rerun), but widely-acclaimed (in its time) TV series that starred James Franciscus as a teaher and Dean Jagger as his principal. MR. NOVAK followed the successful DR. KILDARE template, a series made by the same studio and developed by E. Jack Neuman, the writer\/creator of this series, and it was undoubtedly an inspiration for the much-more sucessful ROOM 222, which came along years later. Harter's book benefits enormously from his extensive research and numerous interviews with the key players of the show, both behind the camera and in front of it (some interviews were conducted personally, others gleaned from press reports and other sources). In many ways, MR. NOVAK is a story of opportunity lost -- the series was a critical and popular hit in its first season, but then was sabotaged by financial and creative studio and network meddling in the second season, which included a misguided change in the writing and the loss of key cast members. You don't have to be a fan of MR. NOVAK to enjoy this book -- in fact, I've never seen a single frame of the program. But I found the book fascinating anyway. The book comes with a detailed episode guide and two great bonus features -- E. Jack Neuman's \"bible\" for writers on the series and the synopsis of a two-part cross-over episode with DR. KILDARE about VD that was nixed at the last second by skittish NBC (the synopsis is inexplicably titled \"a novelization\" by Harter, which it most certainly is not). There are a lot of valuable lessons that current TV professionals -- writers, producers, and executives -- could learn from reading this detailed examination\/appreciation\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cwbr style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: large; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003ehistory\/post-mortem of what could have been a landmark series in TV history if not for its death from self-inflicted wounds.  -- \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eLee Goldberg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\" Although its glory years were in the past, MGM enjoyed a last hurrah in the 1960s as the studio behind such popular shows as \u003cem\u003eDr. Kildare, The Man from U.N.C.L.E \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e Mr. Novak\u003c\/em\u003e, a serious-minded drama that tackled challenging issues on a weekly basis.

NOVAK. Centered around a high school teacher, it premiered in the Fall of 1963, ran for two years, then (except for an '80s, insomniacs' time-slot airing on TNT) totally vanished. So thank goodness for this comprehensive look into the making of that award-winning show. We begin with a career profile of creator\/executive producer E. Jack Neuman, who spoke to educators and students in hopes of crafting a series that mirrored reality. And with handsome, 28-year-old James Franciscus cast as \"practical idealist\" John Novak, the series tackled such issues as disabilities, alcoholism, bullying, prejudice, cheating, and teen pregnancy in a remarkably unsensationalistic manner. Along the way, Harter also touches upon its enthusiastic fans, behind-the-scenes disputes, rejected scripts, Franciscus' disdain for catty gossip rags, and the show's cancellation (despite its 31.7 Nielsen share!), only to be replaced by the infamous flop MY MOTHER, THE CAR. Numerous guest stars are also interviewed - Kim Darby, Walter Koenig, Frankie Avalon, Tony Dow, Johnny Crawford, Beverly Washburn - along with cast-regular Marian Collier (who later wed Neuman), Franciscus' wife Kitty, plus a foreward penned by Martin Landau. Capped off with an episode guide that includes plot synopses, critical reaction and Harter's personal assessments, this outstanding tribute is generously peppered with photos, as well as such offbeat bonuses as images and instructions from Transogram's MR. NOVAK board game!\" - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShock Cinema\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43222506176574,"sku":"nda1787291718161","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/mr-novak-an-acclaimed-television-series-hardback_1.jpg?v=1787291723"},{"product_id":"american-international-pictures-the-golden-years-hardback","title":"AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES: THE GOLDEN YEARS (hardback)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES: THE GOLDEN YEARS (hardback)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN  9781629330662\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIn the mid-1950s, American International Pictures (AIP) was the self-proclaimed \"Infant of the Industry,\" and as such, was not perceived as a serious threat to the major studios of the time.

Lasky to his son, Jesse Jr.  into an insider's view of one of early Hollywood's most influential families. The Jesse L. Lasky Feature Play Company produced the first feature film in Hollywood, The Squaw Man in 1913. When his final credits rolled on January 13, 1958, Lasky had produced more than 1,000 films, making him in 1927, the eighth wealthiest man in the movie capital. Yet in a few short months he was forced out of the company that no longer bore his name––to rise as an independent producing some of the greatest films of his career at Warner Brothers and RKO.  Lasky’s adventurous personal life was every bit as dynamic and challenging as the stars he fashioned.  Screenwriter Jesse Jr. wrote 48 films, 8 for Cecil B. DeMille. Letters continue through World War II when First Lieutenant, Jesse, Jr. made training films for the U.S. Army Signal Corps, and served as Captain in the South Pacific.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eREVIEWED BY: Michael G.

A rare and unique perspective of a man who shaped the film industry. Intimate details about the Lasky family; Lasky's complex relationship with his wife; with Adolph Zukor, Samuel Goldwyn, Cecil B. DeMille; behind-the-scenes negotiations and development of some of Hollywood's finest classics; and perhaps most interesting, fatherly advice Lasky gives his son about life in general and his son's career in films. The beauty of the book is Silver-Lasky's use of personal letters between Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. and her own personal recollections and anecdotes provided her by husband Jesse Jr.  Of wide appeal to fans of classic cinema. Beginnings of Hollywood and the film industry, silent films, transition to sound films, day-to-day development of a film (from adaptation to premier). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eKevin Brownlow FILM HISTORIAN (Who received the first Governors Award from AMPAS for his work in film preservation and chronicling of the cinematic parade) \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMichael Ankerich's quote says it all. I would add: Now that it is no longer possible to interview the last veterans of the silent era, any more than we can talk to survivors of the Civil War, there is one last, precious resource; letters. Pat is offering film historians and enthusiasts an incredibly rare opportunity to enter the lives of one of the supreme moguls of the classic era and his son.

Unable to film in Ramallah, the whole production—including Daoud’s son and star of the show, Bishara—traveled with the Palestinian-made set to TV studios in Tel Aviv.

It also is a good illustration of how, in the Palestinian context dominated by the reality of half-a-century of Israeli occupation and domination, what is a personal life story can so effectively reflect the conscience and mindset of a whole people. Above all, it is a story that humanizes the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom and dignity on the strength of an unyielding will to overcome adversity and attain empowerment. Drawing on a lifelong career in journalism, Daoud does all of this so well and efficiently. His “Sesame Street” would be an excellent choice of a book to pack for a short trip, but also a valuable source in any scholarly pursuit on Palestinian empowerment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -moz-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eSalam Fayyad former Palestinian Prime Minister and current visiting professor at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson Center for Public \u0026amp; International Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eReport from National Public Radio's \"All Things Considered\" program\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43222507388990,"sku":"yum1787291723135","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/sesame-street-palestine-taking-sesame-street-to-the-children-of-palestine-hardco_1.jpg?v=1787291728"},{"product_id":"interviews-with-english-filmmakers-powell-to-pawlikowski-hardcover-edition-edited-by-rj-cardullo","title":"INTERVIEWS WITH ENGLISH FILMMAKERS: POWELL TO PAWLIKOWSKI (HARDCOVER EDITION) edited by R.J.
