Gwengoolie better look out- as she and Nosty and Imp get to work to provide an assortment of fun to snack on!
After 43 years in his warm and cozy dungeon, master horror host, Svengoolie leaves on an epic journey filled with celebrity encounters; long lost archives; a search for lost memorabilia and a celebration that could only take place in Berwyn, Illinois.
The Sven Squad presents another Henson masterpiece of fantasy- as Jen and Kira-two Gelflings of the Mystic race- must try to restore order to their world, and defeat the evil ruling race known as the Skeksis by restoring a powerful crystal which originally cracked and created the two races. The puppetry and animatronics were groundbreaking at the time, including the need for four puppeteers to make a single Gelfling come to life!
Gwengoolie, the Imp, and Nostalgiaferatoo take over to present an eerie comedy in which a family inherits a house, which has an unusual book among its inventory. Waldemar, an vampire and his wife Yolanda, however, want to gain possession of the house because they know that said book has evil power- which becomes apparent when the son of the new owners starts turning its pages- which unleashes monsters! Not only that, but it causes weird things to happen in the house. Soon, added to the mix is none other than Van Helsing- but he has his own agenda. It all concludes with a horrid housewarming party and a showdown between Van Helsing and Waldemar! This movie is mainly a spoof of classic horror films ( and NOT the “Friday the 13th” franchise)- and stars real-life couple Richrd Benjamin and Paula Prentiss- and some familiar TV and movie actors. The Sven Squad has their own take on the proceedings, and more- guaranteeing a fun time!
Nostalgiaferatoo returns with the rest of our Sven squad, Gwengoolie and the Imp, to present the 1981 musical monster mash-up “The Monster Club”. This movie is loaded with rock and roll, as Vincent Price and John Carradine share supernatural stories in a special night club for creatures of the night. The stories include the tale of a woman in financial need who gets involved with a mysterious hybrid creature; a son who discovers his father is a vampire, being pursued by vampire-killers, led by Donald Pleasance; and a movie director who finds the location he is scouting for his next picture is frighteningly more of a real horror than he bargained for. Plus, there are several music performances at the club- not to mention Gwengoolie leading her own musical number. There’s a lot more fun from our Sven Squad who are happy to make you a part of the club!
