Svengoolie Show: “The Creature Walks Among Us”
I watched the 1956 Universal-International Pictures production of “The Creature Walks Among Us” last night on the Svengoolie show. It’s a movie about chain-smoking scientists who capture the aquatic Gill-Man, transform it into an air-breather and blow smoke into its face to make it cough. This annoys it so much it starts breaking stuff. The…

Svengoolie Show: “The Curse of Frankenstein” No Laughing Matter
The Svengoolie show last night was the 1957 Hammer production “The Curse of Frankenstein” starring the 3 stooges. Actually, this film was no laughing matter and this was my first time (and last time) seeing it. That’s not saying it’s a “bad” movie. It’s just tough to come up with anything comical to say about…

Svengoolie Show: “Horror of Dracula” Has a Funny Side!
Well, last night I watched Hammer Films 1958 production of “Horror of Dracula” and because we had some bumpy thunderstorm weather again in eastern Iowa, the movie had to share TV screen space with the weather report. No matter, it didn’t diminish the total creepy and comedic effect of the film. You heard right; I…

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…

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!”
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,…

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!

A volcano erupts…
