Then, stay tuned for Jim Henson’s Dark Crystal” -hosted by Nostalgiaferatoo, Gwengoolie, and Ignatius Malvolio Prankenstein, alas the Imp! It’s another Henson masterpiece of fantasy- as Jen and Kira-two Gelflings of the Mystic race- must try to restore order to their world, and defeat the evil ruling race known as the Skeksis by restoring a powerful crystal which originally cracked and created the two races. He puppetry and animatronics were groundbreaking at the time, including the need for four puppeteers to make a single Gelfling come to life! The Sven Squad will again add their own personal fun and info to “Dark Crystal” to cap off our double-feature fun!

BOO-Nanza Double Feature: 'Invaders from Mars' and 'The Dark Crystal'

Saturday the 14th

Labyrinth

The Sven Squad presents a landmark film from the late great creator of “The Muppets” Jim Henson- a unique fantasy film- “Labyrinth”! It’s the story of 16-year-old Sarah, whose annoyance with her baby brother compels her to wish he would be taken away by the goblins in the book she’s reading “The Labyrinth”. When the boy, Toby, disappears, the goblin king Jareth appears- and offers an ultimatum- solve his labyrinth in 13 hours and find Toby- or the child will become a goblin forever!

Then, it’s the turn of Gwengoolie, the Imp, and Nostalgiaferatoo as they take over to present an eerie comedy in which a family inherits a house, which has an unusual book among its inventory. Waldemar, an vampire and his wife Yolanda, however, want to gain possession of the house because they know that said book has evil power- which becomes apparent when the son of the new owners starts turning its pages- which unleashes monsters! Not only that, but it causes weird things to happen in the house. Soon, added to the mix is none other than Van Helsing- but he has his own agenda. It all concludes with a horrid housewarming party and a showdown between Van Helsing and Waldemar!

This movie is mainly a spoof of classic horror films ( and NOT the “Friday the 13th” franchise)- and stars real-life couple Richrd Benjamin and Paula Prentiss- and some familiar TV and movie actors. The Sven Squad has their own take on the proceedings, and more- guaranteeing a fun time!

House of Svengoolie is a hosted horror-comedy television spin-off of Svengoolie on MeTV. Airing roughly once a month, it shifts the spotlight from the classic horror host Svengoolie to his "Sven Squad." The crew—Nostalgiaferatoo, Gwengoolie, and IMP—take over the dungeon to host cult-classic movies, perform musical parodies, and host quirky sketch segments.
