Information adapted from the Ghoul A Go-Go Website:
Hey, what’s that cheer echoing throughout the marble orchard?
"Put a head on a pole and have a party!"
squeal the little boys and ghouls —
here comes Vlad and Creighton, direct from the old country, swinging the shovels from their part-time jobs high in the air as they gallump
their way to the TV studios and bring us another episode of Ghoul A Go-Go!
It’s not always pleasant to go to TV land; but let Vlad and Creighton take you to that part of TV land where the ground under your
feet all of a sudden gets really soft.
Ghoul A Go-Go meets K. Gordon Murray!
Ghoul A Go-Go shows are included as a special feature on DVDs of Mexican horror movies released by Something Weird Video in 2003.
The DVDs are all double features of Mexi-horrors dubbed into English and distributed in the U.S. in the 1960s by K. Gordon Murray,
later to become familiar fare on late night horror shows.
The first two DVD releases were
The Braniac / The Witch's Mirror and Doctor of Doom / The Wrestling Women vs the Aztec Mummy.
Other films in the series include
Sampson vs the Vampire Women,
The Vampire,
The Living Head,
The Curse of Nostradamus,

and The Curse of the Doll People.
- Adapted from a publicity blurb on the Website for I-CON 23,
one of many shows where Ghoul A Go-Go appeared as guest stars in 2004:
Ghoul A Go-Go is a 30-minute, early 60s-style kiddie dance party show filmed in black and white, and hosted by a glib, elegant vampire, Vlad Tsepis,
and a very funny Tor-Johnsonesque hunchback named Creighton.
With their friend and co-host The Invisible Man, Vlad and Creighton play ghoulden-oldie rock n' roll novelty records for the kids to frug and boogaloo along with.
They welcome live bands on every show; show vintage industrial films, commercials, and music shorts;
and promote products for their sponsor, Hickleberry's Meat Products.
Ghoul A Go Go's growing legion of admirers includes celebrities like Lux Interior and Poison Ivy of The Cramps,
Eddie Angel of Los Straitjackets and The Neanderthals,
the cinemaniacs at Something Weird Video (see note above),
and the organizers of horror conventions like the Chiller Theatre Expo,
Monster-Mania, and Monster Bash
— not to mention the thousands of fans who attend these shows.
Ghoul A Go Go has received rave writeups in Fangoria, Psychotronic Video, Shock Cinema,
and on various video review Websites and cult movie message boards.
Interviews with Vlad and Creighton have appeared in Carbon 14, Fancy,
1313 Magazine and Horror Biz, and they were also interviewed in character for the forthcoming documentary on TV horror hosts,
American Scary.
Ghoul A Go-Go is a member of The Horror Host Underground,
a very active group of current TV horror hosts around the country who network to self-syndicate their shows.
Through exposure on the HHU network, Ghoul A Go Go has aired in many more markets and different states
than their normal broadcast channels currently reach, though these markets are also rapidly expanding.
