Article Summary

  • Svengoolie screens An American Werewolf in London tonight on MeTV at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT.
  • Classic 1981 film features groundbreaking werewolf effects by makeup legend Rick Baker.
  • Expect hijinks, humor, songs, and fun behind-the-scenes movie trivia during the show.
  • Warning: Some film edits, but gore and intense scenes may not be suitable for sensitive viewers.

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) are back to fill your Saturday night with humor and horror (or "horror and humor," depending on what you prefer). Kicking off at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT on MeTV, Svengoolie rolls out a screening of writer/director John Landis's An American Werewolf in London. The 1981 horror film classic starred David Naughton, Jenny Agutter, Griffin Dunne, and John Woodvine – but the biggest star was makeup artist Rick Baker's groundbreaking werewolf transformation – work that's still honored to this day.

To make sure you're ready for tonight's screening, we have a preview 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. But first, an important programming note about tonight's screening:

IMPORTANT NOTE: We have done some editing of the film for content, but- there is still some frightening gore and things that may be too intense and upsetting for younger and more sensitive viewers. I will be giving warnings throughout the film- but PLEASE- take them seriously. I know we have had some comments regarding some of the films our Sven Squad have shown- and this film falls right in line with some of their content. As we say, viewer discretion is advised- strongly!

You can check out the trailer for An American Werewolf in London 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 David from Boise, ID:

Svengoolie on Tonight's Screening of "An American Werewolf in London": "As I mentioned, the amazing transformation of David that Rick Baker created is outstanding. We'll talk about how he did certain things, we'll give the history of the film, introduce you to the key players, including David Naughton- best remembered as the "I'm a Pepper" guy in 1980s Dr. Pepper commercials, Griffin Dunne as the ever-deteriorating Jack, and the lovely Jenny Agutter as nurse Alex. We'll also bring you a new song, discuss a well-known "Easter egg" that appears in John Landis' films, and more!"
