In over 100 entries of his Drive-In Dust Offs column, Daily Dead writer Scott Drebit has lovingly looked back at horror films that haunted the silver screen in the genre's rich past, but he has also explored scares on the small screen in his other column, It Came From the Tube, making him the perfect guest to talk TV horror films and miniseries on the Hellbent for Horror podcast.

From Hellbent for Horror: "Episode 036- The Monsters that Invaded Primetime: Made-for-Television Horror
Notorious scares delivered on TV!
Back in the early 1970's, Network TV executives started to make original movies to compete against Hollywood. They were fast, cheap and, occasionally, great!
Many of these telefilms were horror movies. Some of those network TV-produced movies generated some genuine scares, and sent kids to bed to have nightmares.
Not to mention that some of these movies were the starting ground for great writers, directors, and make up artists.
In this episode, horror film journalist Scott Drebit from Daily Dead (https://dailydead.com) and I talk about some classic TV horror movies that you can hunt down and watch on the internet.
Some still pack a good scary punch.

Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
