Was there any local Horror Movie TV Hosts in Fresno TV History?

Sacramento and San Francisco has had a variety of Horror Hosts years ago most notably Bob Wilkins, I was wondering if Fresno ever had a Horror Movie TV Host? Or how about Hostless Horror Movies?

I rather doubt it, as Fresno for many years had only the three network affiliates.

The closest I remember was that KFSN/30 ran an old black-and-white serial after the 11:00 news on Saturday nights for a couple of years in the 1970s.

Related (or perhaps more inclusive) question: What is the smallest market that had a local horror movie host?<P ID="signature">______________

Eureka had a Horror Movie TV Host on KVIQ-6 in the mid 1980's

Eureka had one. It was on KVIQ Channel 6 in 1982. The name of the showw was "Late Night Fright Theater" and it was on Saturday nights at 11:15PM.It debuted on Sept. 18, 1982 and lasted until the late 1980's. I can't recall the name of the host but NBC's Bloopers and Practical Jokes show did a Halloween segment on Horror Movie TV Hosts around 1984 and KVIQ's host was featured as well as the others such as Zacherle, The Ghoul and Dr. Paul Bearer. That segment was hosted by Elvira.

The Fresno market did have KMPH 26, an independent licensed to either Tulare or Visalia that signed on in 1971 and is now a Fox affiliate. It might've had some sort of horror movie host.
