Svengoolie is showing Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell right now

If you are unfamiliar with Svengoolie, he's a weekly horror host on MeTV. He shows a classic horror movie and at commercial breaks he'll give you a little trivia about the movie and crack jokes. If you've seen the original 1985 Fright Night he's partly the inspiration for Peter Vincent. Hr's been doing this since the seventies.

Svengoolie airs on MeTV at eight PM (Eastern US time) on Saturday nights. Later this month is "House of Svengoolie" (once a month he has a team of co-hosts: Gwengoolie, NostalgiaFeratoo, and Imp). And next week they're watching Rosemary's baby.

Right now (this very moment) Sven is showing Frankenstein and The Monster from Hell. The first time I ever watched Svengoolie he happened to be showing the original 1941 Wolfman.

Typo. That should say "And that week they're doing Rosemary's baby." It's not next week, it's the week after.

Hammer's final Frankenstein. A grim curtain call for the series, but Rosemary's Baby is the real cinematic terror.

Rosemary's Baby isn't just cinematic terror, it taps into the primal fear of the unknown within, and the betrayal of the most sacred bond.

Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell is such a unique blend of gothic horror and psychological depth, perfect for those chilly October nights. Plus, you can’t beat the set designs in Hammer films, they’re wonderfully atmospheric! 🎃
