Svengoolie Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Every Saturday at 8pm Eastern beloved horror host Svengoolie hosts another old horror or sci fi movie on MeTV. My fellow Svenpals and I love to live tweet about the film and make funny jokes about it all throughout. This is the discussion thread about Svengoolie.

Tonight is The Leech Woman (1960). From IMDB- A scientist's (Grant Williams) wife (Coleen Gray) must kill men to make the serum that keeps her looking young.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Are these mostly movies from the 50s, 60s?

Yes, mostly, and some from the 70s. It is really fantastic.

I imagine there are a lot of funny comments made. Watch out for the leeches.

None so far!!!

This Saturday, Sven will be showing The Medusa Against the Son of Hercules (1963). From IMDB-
Perseus (Richard Harrison) slays a fire-breathing swamp monster and revives an army turned to stone by Medusa.

Too bad I'll miss tweeting with my Svenpals, but I'll definitely be recording it!

Next Saturday on Svengoolie is one I've heard of but have never seen. The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)! This one has Don Knotts in it.
From IMDB-
A typesetter (Don Knotts) for a small town newspaper persues his dream of becoming a big-time reporter by spending a night in an alleged haunted house.

Tomorrow's movie is Barracuda (1978).
From IMDB-- A student tries to discover why Florida townspeople develop hypertension and nearby fish exhibit strange behavior.

Last night was Munsters Go Home (1966). I was busy, so I recorded it and will have to watch it later. From IMDB -- Herman (Fred Gwynne), Lily (Yvonne De Carlo), Grandpa (Al Lewis) and their ghoulish TV family go to England to claim an estate.
