The show uses a tongue-in-cheek approach to screen altered feature films intercut with cartoons, educational and instructional videos[1] in such a way to create a new condensed feature that collages visual puns and humorous subplots. The host of the show is the fictional Gunther Dedmund, played by Joel Sanderson. BackgroundThe Basement Sublet of Horror is based on a long tradition of late-night television horror movie hosts that began in the 1950s with Vampira. Wichita, Kansas had its own horror host show, called The Host and Rodney, from the late 1950s through the 1970s starring Tom Leahy. It seems to have been the very first Horror Host show in the country, as it did not carry the "Shock Theater" package common to shows of the time, and was created from scratch by the station. The Basement Sublet of Horror follows a long history of horror hosts that play horror films on television that have had a nationwide cult following for decades. Several generations of fans have grown up watching late-night Horror Host programs, at once becoming erstwhile film students and cinema aficionados, and also networking with other fans around the country. With the development of the Internet and cable television, horror host shows have seen a revival likened to the drive-in resurgence of indoor theaters that present exploitation and novelty films such as The Rocky Horror Picture Show.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} These Horror Hosts include the likes of Ghoulardi, Elvira, and Joe Bob Briggs, who was the host of "Drive-In Theater" on Showtime, and "MonsterVision" on TNT. DevelopmentThe Basement Sublet of Horror first started screening in June 2006.[2] Prior to that date, Joel Sanderson had been involved in producing live events in the Kansas area for over twenty years. His first film production was the Escape’ Drive-in in 1989, which featured a combination of bad movies and live music. The show moved indoors in 1996 and became the M.T. Pockets Budget Film Festival with a three-year run at the Free state Brewery in Lawrence, Kansas, followed by a six-year run at the Wichita Center for the Arts.[2]CharactersThe host of The Basement Sublet of Horror is Gunther Dedmund, a fictional character played by Joel Sanderson.
