Starting Saturday, October 5, the event’s first weekend includes a double feature, The Sven Squad’s special Saturday Morning Cartoons appearance for the House of Svengoolie Cartoon BOO-Nanza, and mini-marathons of Halloween-themed classic TV westerns and comedy TV series.
Break out the cobwebs and settle in for some scary fun with MeTV’s third annual Svengoolie’s Halloween BOO-Nanza, which kicks off this weekend.
The popular programming event is a month-long celebration with fright-filled, spooky and kooky classic TV fun for the entire family, anchored by back-to-back movies every Saturday night, featuring host Svengoolie, aka Rich Koz. He is joined by the Sven Squad crew, featuring Sarah Palmer as the gorgeous ghoul Gwengoolie, Scott Gryder as the devilishly ingratiating IMP (Ignatius Malvolio Prankerstein), and Bill Leff as the 800-year-old vampire Nostalgiaferatoo.
The Svengoolie double feature this Saturday night will be The Son of Frankenstein and Monster That Challenged the World. Viewers will also enjoy The Sven Squad’s special Saturday Morning Cartoons appearance for the House of Svengoolie Cartoon BOO-Nanza, a one-hour special featuring their favorite spooky-themed Looney Tunes cartoons.
Also airing this weekend are encore presentations of MeTV’s Sventoonie in late night, and mini-marathons of Halloween-themed classic TV westerns and comedy TV series.
