Sena + Prune Juice = Space Trip?
Sena has been drinking her prune juice and I presume she’s regular. Besides that, she could be an excellent astronaut. There was a small study by scientists that seemed to show that mice who ate prunes could be protected from space radiation. I think you’d have to eat a lot of prunes for that. Being…

Svengoolie Movie Next Saturday “Invaders from Mars” Triggers Memories!
The Svengoolie TV show movie next Saturday will be “Invaders from Mars” released in 1953 and it triggered some memories. One of them is when I was a little kid. I think I saw parts of it on TV while I was supposed to be down for a nap. I recall seeing these burly guys…

Svengoolie Movie: “Return of the Vampire” Hits it On the Jugular
We watched the Svengoolie show movie, “Return of the Vampire.” I should say Sena watched about 10 minutes of it on the Internet Archive and said it was pretty good. The film was directed by Lew Landers. The writers were Randall Faye, Kurt Neumann (The Fly 1958), and Griffin Jay (Cry of the Werewolf 1944).…

Svengoolie Movie Tonight: “Return of the Vampire”
“Calling all stations, clear the air lines, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” (Svengoolie show intro). Tonight’s Svengoolie movie is “Return of the Vampire.” I’m debating on whether to watch it because I’ve heard there’s a talking werewolf. Is that even legal?

Svengoolie Movie: “Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster”
So, this movie ‘Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster” is high in cheese content and don’t expect to see the Frankenstein made famous by Boris Karloff. It was released in 1965 and directed by Soupy Sales, no wait, it was Robert Gaffney. Marilyn Hanold played the big female lead, Marcuzan, the amazonian leader who looks nothing…

Svengoolie Movie: “Village of the Danged Eyeballs!”
OK, so the name of the film is actually Village of the Damned, released in 1960 and directed by Wolf Rilla. It stars George Sanders as Professor Gordon Zellaby and Barbara Shelley as his wife, Anthea Zellaby. It’s based on a British Novel, The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham. The gist of the story is…

Svengoolie Show “Son of Dracula”Spelling Bee Game!
I saw the Svengoolie show 1943 film, “First Cousin Twice Removed of Dracula” last night. Sorry, that’s actually “Son of Dracula.” You can watch it colorized on the Internet Archive. It starred Lon Chaney as Count Alucard, and that name didn’t fool anybody because it’s just Dracula spelled backward. The goof everybody already knows about…

What’s Up with Tree Bags?
Sena got some tree bags for keeping our trees watered. They don’t come with explicit instructions; I’ve never had to deal with them. As always, I suspect extraterrestrials and other strange beings are involved. Apparently, the tree bags are supposed to provide enough water for young trees so they grow and thrive in your yard.…

More Bigfoot Encounters on the Clear Creek Trail
We’ve had encounters with Bigfoot on various walking trails, but most were on the Clear Creek Trail. I guess Bigfoot is one of those interdimensional beings, moving in and out of our world. It takes getting used to. Avoid getting into thumb wrestling matches with Bigfoot. And moving in and out of various dimensions can…

Big Time Bigfoot Cribbage Game!
Yesterday, Sena and I had a major cribbage showdown on the Bigfoot cribbage board. It took a little practice to get used to it because we generally use the long board. Aside from the usual hiccups figuring out scores, I did a fair job of keeping up for a while. However; Sena won. She plays…
