  • Svengoolie Upcoming Movie: “Horror of Dracula”

    Svengoolie Upcoming Movie: “Horror of Dracula”

    Svengoolie Show Intro: “Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” This week’s upcoming movie on the Svengoolie TV Show is the 1958 classic “Horror of Dracula.” I don’t remember ever seeing it. Speaking of classic, I admit I read some of the Turner Classic Movies (TCM) comments…

  • Svengoolie Movie: “Werewolf of London” Comedy Show

    Svengoolie Movie: “Werewolf of London” Comedy Show

    I watched the Svengoolie TV show last night and saw the 1935 Universal Pictures movie “Werewolf of London.” You can watch the movie on the Internet Archive. This film reminded me of another British movie, “Return of the Vampire” in which there was a comedy sketch between two grave diggers. In Werewolf of London there’s…

    Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “Werewolf of London”!

    Svengoolie intro: “Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” The Svengoolie show will be airing the movie “Werewolf of London” this coming Saturday night. It was released in 1935 and features something I don’t usually associate with werewolves—a special flower. Anyway, it’s the first full-length werewolf film.…

  • Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Scorpion” Subtitle: “Stay Out of Trouble Juanito!”

    Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Scorpion” Subtitle: “Stay Out of Trouble Juanito!”

    Hey, I watched the Svengoolie show “The Black Scorpion” last night and I think a subtitle could have been “Stay Out of Trouble, Juanito!” Every time I woke up, that seven-year-old kid was getting himself into another jam. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This is a 1957 film starring Richard Denning as Hank Scott,…

    Svengoolie Interviewed at the Comic-Con!

    Hey, I thought it would be fun to share an interview that somebody did of Svengoolie at the Comic-Con in San Diego yesterday. Svengoolie is played by Rich Koz and he’s been around a long time. He’s definitely not thinkinig of retiring. The only way we would have recognized him is by his voice!

    Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Scorpion”

    Svengoolie intro: Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!  I plan to watch the upcoming blockbuster Svengoolie movie this Saturday night, “The Black Scorpion” and so far, I haven’t read much about it except for a couple of lines from a synopsis or two. A volcano erupts…

  • Spotting Venus in the Eastern Sky

    Spotting Venus in the Eastern Sky

    I was watching a television show last night about UFOs and had to chuckle about some of the segments in which there was a lot of speculation about underground and underwater bases where extraterrestrials typically are thought to hide from us while they work on whatever it is they work on. There was the usual…

  • Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Cat” vs The Weather Report

    Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Cat” vs The Weather Report

    The atmosphere for the Svengoolie TV show airing of the 1934 movie “The Black Cat” was nothing short of electric—as in electrical storm. I thought the mood of ambivalence in the film was firmly set for about the first half hour of the movie. That was how long the TV station weather alert was on…

    Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “The Black Cat”!

    Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast! What do you get when you cross a black cat with a rubber chicken? Something else Svengoolie has to dodge. Keep reading for the Artificial Intelligence (AI) attempts at this joke. The upcoming Svengoolie show movie this Saturday will be…

  • Svengoolie Movie: “Invaders from Mars” and Zippers are Large!

    Svengoolie Movie: “Invaders from Mars” and Zippers are Large!

    I watched the Svengoolie movie “Invaders from Mars” last night. I saw this 1953 science fiction film last year but didn’t notice the extraterrestrials wore pretty obvious green velour body suits which zipped up the back. Anyway, the movie was directed by William Cameron Menzies and starred Jimmy Hunt as the boy, David MacLean, who…
