Graveyard Rock - Tarantula Ghoul and Her Gravediggers.mp4

Tarantula Ghoul was Portland's vampy monster of ceremonies on House of Horror, a late night horror movie showcase on KPTV in the late 1950s. Taranch, as she was affectionately known to her fans, was played by Suzanne Waldron. Graveyard Rock was the flipside of Taranch's single released on Meadows Records. The song was written by B. Anson and J. Ralston. John Ralston was Suzanne's producer-writer for House of Horror. The A-side was "King Kong."

It's got this campy, B-movie vibe and I am loving this!

[@denalangman-dixon4484]

Tarantula Ghoul was a friend of my father's in Portland, Oregon. We used to listen to this 45 over and over...I still have it! Good memories.

[@danvanlandingham3854]

I'm surprised I never saw that one on KPTV.KPTV was on cable down here for many,many years until the FCC made this area switch from Portland to stations out of Medford,Oregon in the '80s.

💀GRAVEYARD ROCK 🏴‍☠️🪦🥀

[@AFloridaSon]

Hmmmm..... There is another video out there with the same graveyard and skeletons, but different dance steps and moves. Interesting. Checkout The Guess Who "Shakin' All Over" - the skeleton dance. I'm not sure how that plays together, but it seems to be the same animator. You decide........

[@princeminski47]

It's Disney's "Skeleton Dance," very early sound cartoon.

[@rockakitty1993]

haha i know it from flick too! love it! the animation is so cute

[@millardfillmore3961]
