An anthology of horror movies, named for its host, who introduces each movie, provides background info on the movie, and performs skits and jokes during intermissions.

From the one episode that I watched the introduction of (on Retro TV, currently 10 pm Saturday evenings during their SciFi line-up), it appears that this show is like the oldie that Elvira used to host in another big TV market. Just like Elvira did, "Svengoolie" hosts, introduces, ridicules and otherwise shares movies with his viewing friends. In other words, "Son of Svengoolie" was the local movie show, which evolved into "Svengoolie," the FOX network version.—Hungry Byteman

Essentially, the same show as "Son of Svengoolie", which ran from 1979-1986 on WFLD-32 in Chicago. This was canceled when WFLD joined the FOX network and was subsequently resurrected on WCIU Chicago, with the new shortened title "Svengoolie".—Matlock-6
