SVENGOOLIE'S APRIL MONSTER MOVIES

Last Saturday night, horror TV host Svengoolie treated monster fans with AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON. There's three more to go this April and I'm looking forward to HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER at the end of the month. It's one of my favorite B-movie cheapies.

Svengoolie is shown on the MeTV network. I'm not positive that it's available in all areas, but you can check out the listings HERE.

SVENGOOLIE'S MONSTER MOVIES FOR MARCH

While we're on the subject of monster humor, TV horror host Svengoolie has announced his list of fright flicks for the month of March which include SON OF FRANKENSTEIN and THE MUMMY'S HAND.

After all these years, Svengoolie and his gang still serve up plenty of chuckles between commercial breaks and besides his comedic banter, he always provides viewers plenty of information about the films, actors and so on.

Here's the 411 from MeTV's, "Remind: The Home of Nostalgia" SITE.

SVENGOOLIE ACTION FIGURE FROM SUPER7

Shipping Monday 27 October, 2025 is this 3 3/4-Inch Svengoolie ReAction figure from Super7's online "Boodega". He comes in his familiar coffin with his trademark rubber chicken as an accessory. Available from MONSTERS IN MOTION (link is on the "Sites I Like" right sidebar).

From the manufacturer:

Stock up on rubber chickens, and we hope the wait isn't too drawn out! Svengoolie is materializing as a ReAction Figure in coffin-shaped packaging. This horror movie host with "cutting edge jokes" appears on Saturday Nights on MeTV to fright and delight fans with songs and hijinks. He's taking a bit of a coffin break, inside specially designed packaging with original artwork. The colorfully detailed face on the coffin's lid opens to reveal the collectible inside. And, he comes with a rubber chicken accessory! This 3 3/4-inch" scale collectible has five points of articulation and intricate sculpt and paint details. Make movie night even more frightfully fun with a Svengoolie ReAction Figure.

Retail price: $19.99

SVENGOOLIE BY DREW FRIEDMAN

A few weeks ago I posted the Ed Wood trading cards series in several installments with art by noted underground cartoonist and caricaturist extraordinaire, Drew Friedman. Friedman's stipple technique involves a countless number of single ink marks that somehow end up being a near-photographic image of the person he's drawing.

Well, the artistic master of pimples and pustules has done it again. Below is his recent personality portrait of none other than TV horror host Svengoolie, and I must say it's a "spot-on" likeness.

Svengoolie's weekly show airs on MeTV Saturday nights here in the Seattle area. Last Saturday he screened WEREWOLF OF LONDON and this week it's HORROR OF DRACULA. Check out his website on the right sidebar of this page.

SVENGOOLIE IS FRONT PAGE NEWS!

Move over Elvira, there's a new horror host in the spotlight. That's right, Chicago's Svengoolie has found himself on the front page of none other than the Wall Street Journal! And it's not just a puff-piece -- the article goes a little into depth on Sven's popularity with not only "regular" fans, but celebrities such as Joe Mantegna, Annette O'Toole and -- wait for it -- Lady Gaga!

The article is under the fold, but when's the last time you saw something like this in a major newspaper?
