Swamp Thing airing on MeTV's House of Svengoolie tonight

comicsJul 18, 202634312

MeTV's House of Svengoolie is screening the 1982 film Swamp Thing in a 4K UHD presentation tonight, with Svengoolie promoting the broadcast. The film stars Adrienne Barbeau, Ray Wise and Louis Jourdan and follows Dr. Alec Holland's transformation into the vegetative superhero who defends a bayou community from Dr. Anton Arcane and mercenaries. Coverage and viewer posts recall the movie's 1982 release, praise its character focus over special effects and note Dick Durock later playing Swamp Thing in the sequel and TV series. Fans and viewers say they have DVRs and viewing plans set, share nostalgic memories of seeing the film, and joke about Svengoolie routines and soundtrack choices ahead of the airing. Several posts cite an 8 PM Eastern/Pacific (7 PM Central) start time on MeTV for the House of Svengoolie presentation.

Swamp Thing needs to stop dumping guys in the water. It's not a permanent solution. They keep getting out. #Svengoolie #HouseofSvengoolie

I'm hoping the song on tonight's episode of #Svengoolie is Swamp Thing done to the tune of Wild Thing. But I suspect it won't because it's not in the public domain.

Man, the Sven Squad is really dumping on “Swamp Thing.” It’s not *that* bad. I always thought it was a fun early comic book film. #svengoolie

I always smile remembering Siskel and Ebert gave 👍👍 to Swamp Thing in 1982, forever reminding me that critics are people too. Most of 'em anyway. #Svengoolie
