Cinema Insomnia
''Cinema Insomnia'' is a nationally syndicated American television series presented by horror host Mr. Lobo. Format Typically, Mr. Lobo opens each episode by promising to screen a well-known horror or science fiction classic (such as ''Creature from the Black Lagoon'' or '' Alien''); however budgetary limitations, acts of God or other circumstances invariably force him to show a much lower quality movie (such as '' Starcrash'' or ''Santa Claus Conquers The Martians'').

Arch Hall Jr. (born December 2, 1943) is an American former actor. Early career Born in Van Nuys, California, Hall began his career as a teen actor and musician, appearing in a number of early 1960s films that were all produced by his father, Arch Hall Sr. Most of Hall Jr.'s films featured his particular musical abilities, a teenager's tenor voice and guitar riffs played with swamp blues inflection.
