This week on SVENGOOLIE...
Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
I was so looking forward to seeing a movie with William Shatner I haven't seen before. I fell asleep after the second commercial break.
WAH!
At least I got to see him in tight jeans riding a horse. His jumping to mount technique was pretty agile, impressive.
I wanted to see him battle the spiders! Let's hope there will be a repeat.

Yay! I searched and found KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS streaming as a Rifftrax on Pluto! It was actually preferable, the movie is such a stinker, it needed snarky commentary.
The doomed ending actually came as a complete surprise.
This movie doesn't deserve to survive, although the poster rules-

Am I the only one who thinks the angle/juxtaposition of the huge flaming torch is funny? Especially funny coupled with with his hands & facial expression.

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
Thanks Allhallowsday, for a minute I thought I may be the only one with a dirty mind
This week's movie was AI's EMPIRE OF THE ANTS starring Joan Collins. What a YAWN.
Next week the old House on Haunted Hill. Really? How many times are we going to see this?
On another note, I DO really like the two extra charactors they've added, presumably to take Sven's mantle so he can retire. One is a goofy Nosferatu and the other a sexy vampire sort of charactor. I think they were great choices!

The Undead! One of my favorite Roger Corman movies! And from that great year for horror, 1957.LiamCasey wrote: ↑December 1st, 2023, 3:55 pm This month on Svengoolie...

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
A rare occasion that Svengoolie presents a movie that I have not seen before. Knowing that you like it is sufficient for me to try and rectify that omission.
Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
It's a crazy film, inspired in part by the Bridey Murphy craze of the time. The Wikipedia entry for the film is interesting.

Mel Welles plays Smolkin the gravedigger in The Undead. A few years later, he played Gravis Mushnick in Little Shop of Horrors, also for Corman.

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
THE NIGHT WALKER is scary!
Reunites Missy and beloved ex-hubby Robert Taylor, although I haven't seen this in some time to recall if their pairing was part of the creep factor.
I do, however, remember that twirling chandelier.......

Re: This week on SVENGOOLIE...
I saw part of The Raven last night, I caught some of Sven's trivia. He did mention there was some tension between Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson. I read an interview with Nicholson where he said "Roger (Corman) gave me one direction, be as funny as Lorre, Karloff and Price. I loved those guys."
I don't know if much was mentioned about Hazel Court, who played Price's devious wife. I met her many years ago at a horror movie convention and got her autograph. I had heard that Peter Lorre constantly pinched her behind and I asked her if it was true. She laughed and said "Yessss! He was such a little devil!"
the film is one of my favorites of the 3 horror legends. Did anyone see it last night? Any other good trivia? What do you think of the film?
