Stella The Man-Eater From Manayunk

One of Mr. Haunted Eve's fond memories as a teenager was watching "Saturday Night Dead" out of Philadelphia after watching Saturday Night Live out of NYC. Mr. Haunted Eve was fortunate enough to be able to pick up both NYC and Philadelphia broadcasts from where he grew up in NJ. Saturday Night Dead (SND) had its own vivacious horror movie hostess, Stella The Man-Eater From Manayunk/Daughter of Desire. Stella was played by Philadelphia native actress/comedienne Karen Scioli. While Mr. Haunted Eve enjoyed the featured horror movies on SND, it was the antics of Stella that kept him staying up late those Saturday nights. Instead of a talking magic mirror or crystal ball, Stella had a talking "Bed". In fact, the only movie that Mr. Haunted Eve can remember watching of worth from SND was "The Tomb of Ligeia", a Roger Corman Edgar Allen Poe adaptation starring Vincent Price.
