 Often the series had special themes, such as "Godzilla Bash '94", which was an all-day marathon of "Godzilla" movies.Penn & Teller served as occasional guest hosts during its early years; and in 1996, "MonsterVision" found a permanent host in cult personality and drive-in movie aficionado Joe Bob Briggs, who hosted a pair of more contemporary horror films each week, such as "Friday the 13th Part 2" and "Wes Craven's New Nightmare".During the wraparound segments within each film, Briggs provided a running commentary, trivia, off-color jokes, and a drive-in total, as well as jokes at the expense of TNT's Standards & Practices department regarding the heavy censorship of the featured movies.
