Welcome back to our weekly look at what 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 the 800-year-old vampire Nostalgiaferatoo) have in store for MeTV viewers. Kicking off at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT, Svengoolie hands over the keys to the House of Sven for a screening of 1980's Friday the 13th. Produced and directed by Sean S. Cunningham and written by Victor Miller, the film stars Betsy Palmer, Adrienne King, Harry Crosby, Laurie Bartram, Mark Nelson, Jeannine Taylor, Robbi Morgan, and (you're damn right) Kevin Bacon. The indie film would be the first of its kind to lock down a distribution in the U.S. with a major studio, and it would go on to spawn a horror franchise that's still popular nearly a half-century later. To make sure you're ready for tonight's screening, we have a preview of the show waiting for you above. In addition, we have a look at the official trailer for the film, some blog thoughts from Svengoolie about what you can expect from tonight's show, and maybe even a funny note to end things on.
You can check out the trailer for Friday the 13th below, followed by some additional intel from Svengoolie regarding tonight's screening (with the complete blog update here). In addition, we have a look at Kerwyn's "Joke of the Week," submitted by James from Michigan City, IN:
Svengoolie on House of Sven's Screening of "Friday the 13th": "This 1980 film was produced and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film's Director and Producer Sean Cunningham was probably best known for producing "The Last House On The Left" in 1972 and would go on to work on the "House" film franchise along with many of the "Friday the 13th" sequels that followed. We'll give you background on the film introduce you to even more of the beloved cast than we've listed here. The Sven Squad hosts a campfire of their own and sing a few songs. Gwengoolie and Imp enjoy a few rounds of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" in honor of the actor portraying Jack in tonight's film. They teach the game to Nostalgiaferatoo who learns to play. Kind of. Sort of. Well … you know Nosti interprets game rules a little loosely sometimes."
