House of Svengoolie, Swamp Thing episode

tvJul 19, 202643395

Svengoolie hosted a Swamp Thing night, airing Wes Craven's 1982 Swamp Thing at 8 PM Eastern/Pacific (7 PM Central). Adrienne Barbeau appeared as an on-air guest and took part in a fan-favorite Nosti's Nook segment, where viewers praised her and called her a good sport. The film's cast noted during the broadcast included Ray Wise and Louis Jourdan, and several viewers recalled critics Siskel and Ebert giving the film positive reviews in 1982. Fans traded nostalgic memories about the comic book source material and debated the film's tone and effects, with some joking about the creature repeatedly dumping people in the water. The show also prompted conversation about Wes Craven's early career and listeners suggested double-feature pairings and whimsical remakes inspired by the broadcast.

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

"Potion that gives you more of what you already have" is one of my favorite overdone tropes. Off the top of my head, it's also been done in Star Trek: TOS and Captain America: The First Avenger. #Svengoolie #HouseOfSvengoolie

I don't believe in retinas because I have never seen my retinas without a mirror, and mirrors lie. #Svengoolie #HouseofSvengoolie

Damn! They mentioned quicksand in the first reel, but no one got stuck in it. Chekhov's Rule was broken. #Svengoolie #HouseofSvengoolie

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

Honestly, I always found #SwampThing to be enjoyable. It's campy and a lot of fun. And far better than some of what they show on #HouseOfSvengoolie #Svengoolie
