The rise of lady schlock-horror hosts such as Vampira (lemmy thread) led to many imitators in TV markets all across the US. In the late 1950s, Suzanne Waldron had a similar camp-movie TV show, hosted by her character Tarantula Ghoul. There is no known footage of her show that survives today.
She also had a novelty song that got quite a lot of airplay and is still known today: Graveyard Rock (youtube). It all begins about 12 O'clock, when the graves all open and we start to rock! I never had such fun since the day I died, and they pumped me full of formaldehyde!
Waldron died tragically young at age 50 after a bout with cancer.
