S01E24: The Best of Svengoolie: Featuring... Svensurround

The best of Svengoolie featuring Sven riffing movie clips in his iconic Svensurround!

Overview

The host Svengoolie talks about various horror movies while showing the movies, one per episode, and gives an introduction to them and performs an act during the commercial breaks. One of the constant tropes is that he will ask a question, then cut back to the movie in a way that looks like the character is answering that question. He also does a deep dive on the early careers of the major actors, and also what has happened to them since then.
