Svengoolie Show Upcoming Movie: “Young Frankenstein”
Here we go again with the conflict in schedules of the Svengoolie movie, the 1974 Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein this coming Saturday and the Iowa Hawkeye football game. On October 18, 2025, the Iowa Hawkeyes play Penn State starting at 6:00 p.m. Of course, that interferes with the Svengoolie show which starts at 7:00 p.m.…

Svengoolie Movie: “Them!”
OK, so because I didn’t want to miss the Iowa vs Wisconsin football game (Hawkeyes won 37-0!), I watched the hit science fiction movie, “Them!” on the Internet Archive. This is a 1954 film directed by Gordon Douglas and which won an Oscar for best special effects! At the time, creature effects must have been…

What’s Up with the Van Meter Iowa Visitor?
OK, so last night I watched Don Wildman’s Van Meter Visitor (supposedly a mysterious Van Meter, Iowa cryptid) episode first seen over 100 years) from his show Beyond the Unknown. The season 3 episode first aired in October 9, 2021, and I’d never seen it before. Wildman said that somebody investigated the history of…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “Them!”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” This big broadcast is about the upcoming Svengoolie show movie, “Them!” on October 11, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. One problem I have with this schedule is that the Iowa Hawkeye vs. Wisconsin Badgers football game starts at 6:00…

Svengoolie Show: “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken”
Both Sena and I enjoyed the Svengoolie show movie last night, “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” This 1966 film directed by Alan Rifkin and starring Don Knotts as Luther Heggs, Joan Staley as Alma Parker, Liam Redmond as Kelsey, Philip Ober as Nick Simmons, and Dick Sargent as George Beckett is a horror spoof that…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast.” This coming Saturday, Svengoolie will show the 1966 comedy horror film “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” I think it’s pretty good and Sena likes the movie too. I’ve seen this film before at least once and I thought…

Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Night Strangler”
I saw the 1973 made for TV movie “The Night Strangler” directed by Dan Curtis and starring Darrin McGavin as the investigative reporter Carl Kolchak. I’ve never seen the first Kolchak movie, “The Night Stalker.” The gist of The Night Strangler plot is that some guy in Seattle is strangling women and getting a little…

Will There Be a Men in Black 5 or Not?
As a big fan of the Men in Black (MIB) movies, my burning question is: Will there be an MIB 5 or not? Probably not in my lifetime, which is sad. I’m not really as big a fan of any other films, despite what you might think of my Svengoolie movie reviews—which are always tongue…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “The Night Strangler”!
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” This coming Saturday, the Svengoolie show movie will be the 1973 horror flick, “The Night Strangler” starring Darrin McGavin who plays an investigative reporter/detective named Carl Kolchak, which I’ve never seen. Neither did I see the first movie,…

Upcoming Svengoolie Show Movie “Tarantula”!
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations, clear the air lanes, clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” This Saturday’s Svengoolie movie will be “Tarantula,” about a giant tarantula in the Arizona desert who developed a huge brain and invented a brand new barbecue-flavored meatballs dish made out of humans and marketed to extraterrestrials who are…
