Tarantula Ghoul was Portland's vampy monster of ceremonies on House of Horror, a late night horror movie showcase on KPTV in the late 1950s. Taranch, as she was affectionately known to her fans, was played by Suzanne Waldron. Graveyard Rock was the flipside of Taranch's single released on Meadows Records. The song was written by B. Anson and J. Ralston. John Ralston was Suzanne's producer-writer for House of Horror. The A-side was "King Kong."
