Svengoolie is a horror comedy television program that airs on Me-TV, a classic television network. It is hosted by the titular character, a comedic horror host played by Rich Koz. The show originally premiered in 1979 under the name Son of Svengoolie, a sequel to the original Svengoolie show that aired in the 1960s. The show ran until 1986 before returning as Svengoolie in 1995, airing every Saturday night.

Each episode of Svengoolie features a classic horror movie from the 1930s through the 1970s, with titles ranging from The Blob to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The movie is presented in a modified form, with Svengoolie inserting his own witty commentary and sketch comedy bits throughout the film. The sketches and bits are based on the movie and its characters, as well as other horror-themed topics.

Svengoolie's character is a parody of classic horror hosts like Vampira and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. He is a pun-loving vampire who dresses in a black top hat, cape, and gloves. His makeup and wardrobe are over-the-top, reminiscent of classic horror films like Dracula and Frankenstein. He is known for his goofy sense of humor, making references to pop culture, puns, and parodying commercials.

One of the most popular segments of Svengoolie is the "Sven Surround," a recurring sketch in which Svengoolie and his sidekick, Kerwyn the Unstable, get trapped in a strange, haunted house. The sketch includes cheesy special effects, terrible acting, and hilarious situations. The Sven Surround segment changes with each episode and often parodies a popular horror movie or television show.

Other recurring segments of the show include "Mail Call," where Svengoolie reads fan mail, "Stump the Producer," in which viewers submit trivia questions, and "The Song of the Week," featuring a humorous song related to the movie of the week.

The show's popularity and longevity can be attributed to its nostalgic appeal and its genuine love for classic horror movies. Svengoolie offers a unique blend of humor and horror, making it appealing to horror fans of all ages. The show has become a beloved institution, even earning Svengoolie his own comic book series from American Mythology Productions.

Overall, Svengoolie is a fun, campy, and charming television program that offers a unique blend of horror and comedy. Its quirky humor, unique characters, and love for classic horror make it a must-see for any fan of the genre. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering the show for the first time, Svengoolie is sure to keep you entertained and laughing all night long.
