This Movie Will Be on ...


the Svengoolie show - Saturday March 8th at 10PM/9C on MeTV ( Memorable entertainment Television ) .

I'm not gonna be here for the show but I've never seen it so I think I'll record it. I'm really warming up to Svengoolie. He's pretty cheesy but has some interesting trivia that he sprinkles in throughout the show.

Just started watching this one right now and very good so far . That's great your recording this one Eddysfitzboy then you will be able to enjoy it for later on . Of course with the necessary requirement of popcorn made available for this fine film too ( or have " macaroni & cheese " to go with the Svengoolie show theme ? ) . Totally agree I like to hear about the movie trivia between the movies too - very interesting facts . Thanks Eddysfitzboy for your reply .

Watching on a dvr delay too. Nice to see others appreciate the late night monster movies going to ff through the skits though. Makes it a two hour movie. Do they air one each week?

Hey k-man-3, Svengoolie airs a different horror flick every Saturday night. Sometimes they're pretty good and other times... well, you know.
The only way I know what's gonna be aired is to check out the ATT guide on my TV. Once I know, there's is almost always someone that has created a thread on IMDb to let folks know that this is Svengoolie's movie Du Jour. If there isn't a thread already, feel free to start one. Like I said, some of the movies are pretty cheesy but most of the time, they're pretty decent.

Good luck and we'll talk at ya next week.

Cool i like those type of movies. Even the bad ones. I got a public domain horror pack of 50 classic horror movies. That is the same deal. Some good ones. Some bad ones. All fun with a bowl of popcorn though. My gf has this me channel. Nit sure i do. But will check later today. What did you think of the raven? Im a pretty bug bela fan , so I like ls it. Was cool to see him and boris together. Never saw them together. Thought bela was pretty strong here. One of his better performances.

This film deserved better. I forget who the Saturday night horror show host in Philadelphia was in the 1960s but he didn't piss all over the films like Svengoolie does.

reply

that was well before my time. I am just outside of Philly though. NOt sure how you noticed that.
But I fast forwareded most of his skits. I did not want to turn a 1 hour movie into two hour event. I got confused a few times because he would put his image in the movie, so I would get fooled and hit play. I saw him give trivia about Bela, that did not seem to be dissing him. But that was my question was if the show just slams the movies each week. I mean that was cool flick. I had never seen it before. Did you like the movie? Does this guy usually belittle the movies?

reply

He almost always makes fun of them (the 1931 Dracula was an exception), but a lot of them are stinkers, like The Mole People. He also did it recently to The Beginning of the End and The Monolith Monsters, which I have more of a fondness for since I saw them on TV as a kid.

I didn't know you are from Philly, I was referring to watching The Raven myself back then. I am pretty sure I saw it on a Harrisburg station too while visiting my aunt and uncle. All the TV markets used to have one UHF station which played horror movies on Saturday night.
