SvengoolieTemporada 32
The host Svengoolie talks about various horror movies while showing the movies, one per episode, and gives an introduction to them and performs an act during the commercial breaks. One of the constant tropes is that he will ask a question, then cut back to the movie in a way that looks like the character is answering that question. He also does a deep dive on the early careers of the major actors, and also what has happened to them since then.

E16The CarThe Car arrived in 1977, during a wave of films that tapped into fears that everyday objects could turn deadly. Directed by Elliot Silverstein, the film centers on a mysterious, driverless black car that terrorizes a quiet desert town, seemingly choosing its victims at random. James Brolin stars as the local sheriff trying to make sense of the increasingly violent attacks. While it was often compared to Jaws for its structure, replacing the shark with a supernatural vehicle, the film has built a cult following over time. Its minimal explanation for the car’s origins also adds to its eerie tone, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. - Parents
E17ParentsThe Sven Squad takes over this week with a House of Svengoolie presentation, offering a slightly different format from the usual broadcast. Featured is Parents (1989), a darkly satirical horror film directed by Bob Balaban. Set in the 1950s, the film follows a young boy who begins to suspect that his seemingly perfect suburban parents are hiding something deeply disturbing. Starring Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt, Parents blends psychological horror with social commentary, and over time, it has gained recognition as a cult favorite for its slow-building tension. - How to Make a Monster
E18How to Make a MonsterHow to Make a Monster (1958), a lesser-known but intriguing film. Directed by Herbert L. Strock, the film serves as a meta-horror story about a veteran makeup artist who, after being fired, uses his skills to turn actors into real-life killers. Featuring Robert H. Harris as the embittered artist, the film draws on the long history of classic monsters while offering an interesting twist on the genre.
