Becoming a horror host was Jerri Butler’s last chance. A reporter for the local TV station founded by her parents and run by her brother, Jerri’s excessive drinking (and general bad attitude) had gotten her fired from yet another job at the station. Given the opportunity to fill in as Count Crowley, Jerri seized the opportunity, treating the job and everyone else with the respect they deser—no wait that’s not right, what she actually did was go on the air drunk and openly mock the viewers and the movie they were about to watch. Sure, the show was a smash and her brother was thrilled, but Jerri’s a legitimate newswoman. Surely she won’t be stuck in this new gig forever? Oh well, maybe the werewolf in the parking lot will help her turn things around.
