Svengoolie
Specials
TV-PG
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.

E1118House of Svengoolie: Saturday the 14thGwengoolie, the Imp, and Nostalgiaferatoo take over to present an eerie comedy in which a family inherits a house, which has an unusual book among its inventory. Waldemar, an vampire and his wife Yolanda, however, want to gain possession of the house because they know that said book has evil power- which becomes apparent when the son of the new owners starts turning its pages- which unleashes monsters! Not only that, but it causes weird things to happen in the house. Soon, added to the mix is none other than Van Helsing- but he has his own agenda. It all concludes with a horrid housewarming party and a showdown between Van Helsing and Waldemar! This movie is mainly a spoof of classic horror films ( and NOT the “Friday the 13th” franchise)- and stars real-life couple Richrd Benjamin and Paula Prentiss- and some familiar TV and movie actors. The Sven Squad has their own take on the proceedings, and more- guaranteeing a fun time! - House of Svengoolie: Monster Club
E1119House of Svengoolie: Monster ClubNostalgiaferatoo returns with the rest of our Sven squad, Gwengoolie and the Imp, to present the 1981 musical monster mash-up “The Monster Club”. This movie is loaded with rock and roll, as Vincent Price and John Carradine share supernatural stories in a special night club for creatures of the night. The stories include the tale of a woman in financial need who gets involved with a mysterious hybrid creature; a son who discovers his father is a vampire, being pursued by vampire-killers, led by Donald Pleasance; and a movie director who finds the location he is scouting for his next picture is frighteningly more of a real horror than he bargained for. Plus, there are several music performances at the club- not to mention Gwengoolie leading her own musical number. There’s a lot more fun from our Sven Squad who are happy to make you a part of the club! - House of Svengoolie - Munchies (1987)
E1121House of Svengoolie - Munchies (1987)It’s time for us to tag in the Sven Squad- as Nostalgiaferatoo, Gwengoolie, and the aforementioned Imp bring us a horror comedy- with the likes of Harvey Corman, Robert Picardo and more-in “Munchies”-a film often called Roger Corman’s version of “Gremlins”! It begins with archeologist Simon Watterman discovering a creature in a cave in Peru. He brings it back to the US, but his evil twin brother ( it’s Harvey Corman in a dual role) kidnaps the little creature- but when his kidnappers harm it, it turns vicious- and Simon’s son must try to destroy it using one of the snack-making machines in the evil twin’s factory. That’s a bad idea, because as the machine chops up the nasty thing- it multiplies into MORE of them! They discover the perfect way to create more Munchies- not only that, but the little creeps develop an attraction to -women! Gwengoolie better look out- as she and Nosty and Imp get to work to provide an assortment of fun to snack on! - House of Svengoolie: The Blair Witch ProjectE1122
House of Svengoolie: The Blair Witch ProjectOur Sven Squad, Ignatius Malvolio Prankenstein (IMP), Nostalgiaferatoo, and Gwengoolie present a shocking 1999 horror- in what appears to be footage found in cameras used by some young documentarians who mysteriously vanished. They had headed into what was reportedly a cursed forest in an attempt to document the myth of the notorious Blair Witch and multiple murders that occurred in the area. They end up lost in the woods, as eerie sounds and events draw them further into danger, with disappearances and the feeling that something evil is haunting them- and making them its target!
