Do you still regularly watch this? Everything about it has a certain vibe which I like, from the host to the film choices. Nothing too gruesome.

Yeah, I try to watch every Saturday night. We don't have cable, so I have to use an antenna to watch and that can be very frustrating at times. We don't get great reception where we live, so it's hit or miss. For a year or two we had Locast which aired local networks via streaming and the picture was perfect. But the networks sued them for broadcasting free stations, which I find weird, and shut them down.
Tonight it was coming in so bad, I just couldn't take it. I could always go find the movies and watch them, but a great part of the fun is Svengoolie himself.

I might watch this tonight in bed. If I can find it online. I don't think I've ever seen it.

Now we people who don't get this can see a bit of what Svengoolie is like. Although this is an old one. Has his style changed much endo ? he is putting on an accent here, which he doesn't have in those trailers you share. I looked and this is very early, as Koz had just taken over that same year. Son of Svengoolie - Dracula's Daughter Opening - June 23, 1979

Silent Scream Queen , he's gotten a bit heavier, lol. But it's been 40 plus years since he started. And he dropped the Son of Svengoolie name for just Svengoolie which I think sounds much better. And, as you mentioned he had the accent then which he doesn't do now. Other than that, I would just say he and his show have gotten more polished and smoother. But, I guess when you do it so long it just becomes routine. Oh, he has a much nicer casket now that was gifted to him by a fan. I will say he seems to have fun and to really enjoy what he's doing. Occasionally during his show he'll have footage of himself at various conventions signing autographs and taking pictures with people and quite often various celebrities will stop by. Always a lot of fans there to see him. You can get idea of the amount of fans he has if you go to his site and check out the photo gallery. Lots of folks.
I really like his show and Koz seems like a genuinely nice guy. He's had some heart issues in recent years, but is apparently back to 100% now and says as long as people want to see Svengoolie, and he's able, he'll keep doing it. I really like the guy.
