We experienced fabulous fun interviewing the marvelous MeTV Svengoolie<\/a> team in their Press Room at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 on July 26, 2025. TeamWHR<\/a> had the privilege of meeting the real Svengoolie aka Rick Koz<\/a>, Scott Gryder aka the Svengoolie Imp<\/a>, beautiful Sarah Palmer aka Gwengoolie<\/a>, and Bill Leff aka Svengoolie Nostalgiaferatoo<\/a>.The Svengoolie Team who were celebrating series their 30th year on television #SDCC #SDCC25 thanks to Gary Miereanu<\/a> and Brenda Lowry<\/a> for approving our request to interview this terrific team!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Svengoolie<\/a> is an American hosted horror movie television program airing low-budget and classic horror as well as classic science-fiction movies, Often known as “B” films, many of these are superior to so called high budget blockbusters because they tell stories that people enjoy. The host is naturally named “Svengoolie”<\/em>, a take off the words Svengali and ghoul. As portrayed by Rich Koz, the host sports thick skull makeup around his eyes and cheekbones, a moustache, a goatee, and long black wig under a black top hat with a tuxedo jacket over a bright-red, open-collared, pleated tuxedo shirt making an iconic costume.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the shows highlights, the Svengoolie team presents regular hilarious sketches, and corny but hilarious jokes. The team often performs song parody spoofs of the film being broadcast on a specific evening. Some Svengoolie programs are presented in what has been referred to as “Sven-surround”,<\/em> a pun on a well known term “Sensurround”<\/em> that features jovial humor as each film is broadcast. This make each show enjoyable featuring humorous sound effects to accentuate the skit being presented. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These enjoyable but silly stunts were discontinued for a period of time, but were brought back due to demands from loyal viewers. “Sven-surround”<\/em> clip segments are broadcast outside of the film being presented. The recent addition of beautiful “Gwengoolie”<\/em> to the Svengoolie Team, a personal favorite of mine, who has made the program even more enjoyable!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
