History
Monster Madhouse debuted in 2006[3] as a featured group of monster hunters or Monsterminators led by Borloff (Moore).
For the first three years, Monster Madhouse was produced live from FCCTV studios in Falls Church, Virginia.[4] The live show was also simulcast live on the Internet[5], making Monster Madhouse Live the first horror hosted movie program that was broadcast both live on television and the Internet as a simulcast event. The program shows are public domain films, "B" monster movies, and old black and white horror film from the 1960s and 1970s. New two hour episodes of Monster Madhouse are produced about every three weeks and syndicated out to a series of stations across the country, then is edited to a half hour 'magazine' shows and posted on Internet video sites such as Veoh and YouTube.
"Borloff" and the show were both featured in spring 2008 on the NBC show The Tonight Show by host Jay Leno with Borloff and a short MML clip being shown, and was featured in the 2009 documentaries Virginia Creepers and Every Other Day is Halloween. The show has received two Telly Awards - in 2008 and in 2010.
