Svengoolie Movie: Island of Terror!
The Saturday night Svengoolie movie was Island of Terror. This one was released in 1966 and starred Peter Cushing as one of the scientists who battle monsters who are snacking on the skeletons of humans. The monsters are also silicon-based. These two elements reminded me of a couple of other things. One was the short…

Solar Eclipse Around the Corner So We May Need to Protect the Cicadas!
The solar eclipse is just around the corner! We’re hoping for decent weather. We’re also hoping that everyone views the event with safety in mind. University of Iowa Health Care ophthalmologist Dr. Ian Han has great tips on how to observe the solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. He pointed out that eclipse glasses that…

Cicada Zombieland
I’m sure you’ve heard the zombie cicada horror movie-like story in the news which sounds like it would make a great episode for the Svengoolie TV show. “Attack of the hallucinating zombie cicadas without gonads” would make a good title. One possible torrid scene suggestion would open in the “living” room (although zombies are not…

Svengoolie Chicken Juggler Insanity!
Here’s yet another take on the Svengoolie TV show fan insanity. Maybe we’ll get over it someday, but for now I doubt it. Sena gets in on the act this time as she throws the chicken at me after I tell cheesy jokes Svengoolie style before I juggle the Shrilling Chicken along with a couple…

Svengoolie Triggers Memory Lane Trip to the Drive Ins
Both Sena and I stayed up to see the cheesy 1972 horror flick The Gargoyles last Saturday night. No kidding, Sena stayed up for the whole thing! The show runs from 7-9:30 PM but the actual movie is only a little over an hour long. It’s about a clan of gargoyles that every 500 years…

Attack of the Demonic Shrilling Chicken!
Remember that rubber chicken Sena ordered as a joke for what looks like my transformation into a Svengoolie fan? Svengoolie is the longstanding host on the MeTV channel which shows old, cheesy TV horror movies every Saturday. Svengoolie always gets a lot of rubber chickens tossed at him after he tells a few jokes. Well,…

Transforming Into A Svengoolie Fan
We’re on a Svengoolie roll lately. I watched the Svengoolie show last Saturday and the made for TV movie was Dan Curtis’ Dracula. It was made in 1974. I thought I’d never seen this film before but that final scene in which Dracula (played by the phenomenal heavy, Jack Palance) gets skewered looked familiar. I…

Closing the Loop on All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office Search for Extraterrestrials?
Just in case you haven’t already heard, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) revealed the lack of evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrials from the reports about what we used to call UFOs. And NASA has said basically the same thing. So, is there anything left to say about this? Probably not from the official…

Fake Snakes Saga Slithers On
The fake snake saga continues with not much change in scaring off birds, evidently. Bird poop calling cards are still being left. I repositioned them and we’re hoping for the best. This reminds me that the other night I was awakened by what I was pretty sure was an owl and dogs raising a ruckus…

Make or Break Escape Plan When Your Car is in a Flood
Sena and I saw a Weather Channel segment on how to escape your car if it is sinking during a flood. It’s mainly a reminder to turn around, don’t drown. However, there were a couple of interesting things about it. One was the quiz, in the format of a “how would you survive?” quiz with…
