Alas, all good things must come to an end – at least, until next year. That's right, MeTV's Halloween BOO-nanza Double Feature wraps up tonight – ONE HOUR EARLIER – at 7 pm ET/6 pm CT. Svengoolie (aka Rich Koz) and the House of Svengoolie (Sarah Palmer's gorgeous ghoul Gwengoolie, Scott Gryder's devilishly ingratiating IMP (Ignatius Malvolio Prankerstein), and Bill Leff's 800-year-old vampire Nostalgiaferatoo) are serving up two scoops of cinematic scares for Halloween night. First up, Svengoolie screens 1939's The Wizard of Oz. Following that, the "Sven Squad" offers 1973's Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Here's what you need to know about both films, what's on tap for both screenings, and more:

Svengoolie on "The Wizard of Oz" and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark":
"The Wizard of Oz": "Of course, we'll talk about the great cast members, as the Sven Squad joins me for some Oz antics, plus a "Too Drawn Out" and more."
"Don't Be Afraid of the Dark": "We'll introduce you to the players, and bring you a new song, plus Nostalgiaferatoo getting unreal with real estate!"
"We appreciate the great reaction we've gotten from our viewers to this year's BOO-nanza- and will try to do it again next year! I also want to thank all the visitors to my appearances this month- we wind things up today at the (sorry) sold-out Volo Museum event!"
"The BOO-nanza may be finishing- but next month we will continue with a schedule of freaky films- including a couple of often-requested ones! Plus- there are some changes in our Super Sci Fi Saturday Night schedule coming up that may surprise you!"
"Tonight- help us celebrate Halloween with our double feature-of lions and slicers and scares- oh my! And…don't forget to turn your clocks back an hour tonight!"
