Best known for his character of &#8220;Roland\/Zacherley,&#8221; he also did voice work for movies, and recorded the top ten novelty tune\u00a0&#8220;Dinner With Drac&#8221; in 1958.

He grew up in Philadelphia&#8217;s Germantown neighborhood, where he went to high school. He received a bachelor&#8217;s degree in English literature from an Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>In World War II he enlisted in the United States Army and served in North Africa and Europe. After the war, he returned to Philadelphia and joined a local repertory theatre company.<\/p>\n<p>In 1954 he gained his first television role at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia, where he was hired as an actor playing several roles (one was an undertaker) in Action in the Afternoon, a Western produced by the station and aired in the New York City market. Three years later, he was hired as the host of WCAU&#8217;s Shock Theater, which debuted on October 7, 1957.<\/p>\n<p>As the host, Zacherle appeared wearing a long black undertaker&#8217;s coat as the character &#8220;Roland,&#8221; pronounced &#8220;Ro-land&#8221;, who lived in a crypt with his wife &#8220;My Dear&#8221; (unseen, lying in her coffin) and his lab assistant, Igor.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4013174620\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The hosting of the black-and-white show involved interrupting the film to do numerous stylized horror-comedy gags parodying the film, an influential change which pioneered a now-standard television genre.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1407 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/john_zacherle3-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"John Zacherle\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/john_zacherle3-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/john_zacherle3.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/>In the opening sequence, Zacherle as Roland would descend a long round staircase to the crypt. The producers erred on the side of goriness, showing fake severed heads with blood simulated with Hershey&#8217;s chocolate syrup. During the comedy &#8220;cut-ins&#8221; during the movie, the soundtrack continued to play on the air, while the visual feed switched briefly to a shot of Zacherle as Roland in the middle of a related humorous stunt, such as riding a tombstone, or singing &#8220;My Funny Valentine&#8221; to his wife in her coffin. The show ran for 92 broadcasts through 1958.<\/p>\n<p>He was a close colleague of Philadelphia broadcaster Dick Clark, and sometimes filled in for Clark on road touring shows of Clark&#8217;s American Bandstand in the 1960s. Clark reportedly gave Zacherle his nickname of &#8220;The Cool Ghoul.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In 1958, partly with the assistance and backing of Clark, Zacherle cut &#8220;Dinner with Drac&#8221; for Cameo Records, backed by Dave Appell. At first, Clark thought the recording was too gory to play on Bandstand and made Zacherle return to the studio to cut a second tamer version. Eventually both versions were released simultaneously as backsides on the same 45, and the record broke the top ten nationally. Zacherle later released several LPs mixing horror sound effects with novelty songs.<\/p>\n<p>[wpdevart_youtube width=&#8221;640&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;0&#8243; theme=&#8221;dark&#8221; loop_video=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_fullscreen=&#8221;1&#8243; show_related=&#8221;0&#8243; show_popup=&#8221;0&#8243; thumb_popup_width=&#8221;213&#8243; thumb_popup_height=&#8221;128&#8243; show_title=&#8221;0&#8243; show_youtube_icon=&#8221;0&#8243; show_annotations=&#8221;1&#8243; show_progress_bar_color=&#8221;red&#8221; autohide_parameters=&#8221;1&#8243; set_initial_volume=&#8221;false&#8221; initial_volume=&#8221;100&#8243; disable_keyboard=&#8221;0&#8243;]JMrS3vuX[\/wpdevart_youtube]<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1406\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1406\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1406 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/zacherley_obit-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Promotional publicity photograph released by WABC-TV.

He continued the format of the Shock Theater, after March 1959 titled Zacherley at Large, with &#8220;Roland&#8221; becoming &#8220;Zacherley&#8221; and his wife &#8220;My Dear&#8221; becoming &#8220;Isobel.&#8221; He also began appearing in motion pictures, including Key to Murder alongside several of his former Action in the Afternoon colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>A regular feature of his shows continued to be his parodic interjection of himself into old horror films. He would run the movie and have &#8220;conversations&#8221; with the monster characters. He kept his &#8220;wife&#8221; in a coffin on stage. His co-star was in a burlap sack hanging from a rope. The on-air conversation consisted of Zacherle repeating the words he heard from the sack.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1405\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1405\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1405 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/zacherley-for-president-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"Zacherley For President poster from the album Spook Along with Zacherley (1960) Photo from www.MortysTV.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/zacherley-for-president-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mortystv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/zacherley-for-president.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zacherley For President poster from the album Spook Along with Zacherley (1960) Photo from www.MortysTV.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In a 1960 promotional stunt for his move to WOR-TV, Zacherley&#8211; by then, a Baby Boomer idol&#8211; staged a presidential campaign.
