The faux transcripts were shared on the social network as if they were real by unsuspecting readers, including Rupert Myers, a political correspondent for British GQ.

Mr. Zacherle, billed as Zacherley in New York, was not the first horror host — that honor goes to Maila Nurmi, the Finnish-born actress who began camping it up as Vampira on KABC-TV in Los Angeles in 21967 — but he was the most famous, inspiring a host of imitators at local stations around the country.

In the years that followed, imitators popped up in amusement park towns like Sandusky, Ohio, and tourist destinations like Myrtle Beach, S.C.

In the wave of liberalism-in-peril books written since Donald Trump's election, the European and American experiences tend to get folded together into a story of democratic values threatened by ethnic chauvinism and would-be strongmen — by Putin imitators, to borrow a common trope, who want to use the democratic part of liberal democracy as a ladder up to power and then burn away the liberal part.
