John Zacherle (sometimes credited as "Zacherley") (September 28, 1918 - October 27, 2016) was an American TV and radio presenter, best known for broadcasting shows involving horror and horror movies. He portrayed a character named "Roland/Zacherley" in the show "Shock Theater" (1957-58) and "Zacherley at Large" (1959-60) and recorded the novelty horror single "Dinner With Drac" (1958).
