Shock Theater (1959)

A horror movie hosted show with Anna Inge Jump as "Hazel Witch" for WRVA-TV Channel 12 Richmond Virginia. Shock Theater was reborn with Anna Inge creating a very different, very wild, over the top character. Whereas the former Shock Theater's "Ghoulda" had been understated and dark, "Witch Hazel" billed herself as the "Last of the Red Hot Mamas," claiming a long line of iconoclastic witches in her family tree. She had a butler named Jeeves and a son named Franklin who appeared on the set with her, and she frequently drove around in a 1913 Ford provided by a local dealership for the show and appearances. For personal transportation, she was a modern witch and had traded in her broom for a vacuum cleaner. She routinely harped on modernization and not being an old hag as part of her shtick.
