Svengoolie | The official site for Svengoolie, on Me-TV! (http://svengoolie.com/)

Svengoolie is the name of a character that has hosted a long-running local TV program in the Chicago area, and has in recent years been seen nationally hosting the Saturday night movie on Me-TV.

The shows air various (and often low-budget) horror and science-fiction movies, hosted by horror host "Svengoolie" (a play on the word Svengali), currently played by Rich Koz, who wears face makeup, a wig, and top hat. Just before, and just after, commercial breaks in the film, the character presents various sketches, tells corny jokes, and presents song parodies spoofing the film being aired. Some shows were even presented in what was later dubbed "Sven-surround" (a pun of "Sensurround") in which Svengoolie would make jokes as the film aired (similarly to MST3K); but, sound effects would be played over the movie, as well. This was discontinued for a short time, but brought back due to viewer request -- though only as a clip segment aired outside the actual film, not as the previously-done over-dub.

I remember watching this guy as a kid back in the 1980's.
anyone else watch him?
I first saw all the classic monster movies through his show airing them.
the mummy, Dracula, frankenstein, creature from the black lagoon, the wolfman.....and the rest.
he (Rich Koz) also hosted a show that showed the 3 stooges , the marx brothers and the like.
