  1. Learning to talk to aliens hasn't changed that much, has it? #svengoolie

  2. Turns out Cushing was not in The Horror of Frankenstein. That's what I get for using Google's AI - generated answer. #svengoolie

  3. Another Chekhov rule in drama: establish a mute character in the first act, and, surprisingly, they'll speak in the last reel. #svengoolie

  4. Cushing & Prowse were also Dr. and monster in The Horror of Frankenstein (1970) before their most remembered movie together. #svengoolie

  5. At least Victor Frankenstein accepts the blame for his failure after taking all the credit for his success. #svengoolie

  6. I doubt they could handle a real human brain so sloppily. Brains are the consistency of custard, they say. You couldn't just pry it out from a skull. #svengoolie

  7. Tonight's #SvenTune parodies "I'm Sitting on Top of the World" by Ray Henderson, Sam M. Lewis and Joe Young, published in 1925. The first hit version recorded by Al Jolson. #svengoolie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Si

  8. Not sure why Caroline Monroe was concerned about nude scenes: pretty sure Hammer horror never went Full Monty, and she's worn a lot less in her own movies. #svengoolie

  9. I believe this movie may have the most Dr. Who actors of any feature shown on #svengoolie, yes?

  10. Sarah there is our first chance to get a Hammer trademarked Heaving Bosom™️, and they're dropping the opportunity. #svengoolie

  11. Tonight! Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell
    #Svengoolie

  12. Tonight's #Svengoolie movie is 1974's "#Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell": "his brain came from a genius. His body came from a killer. His soul came from hell! Your blood will run cold when the monster rises." It's the last entry in the Hammer Films Frankenstein series, and the Monster is played by David Prowse, better known for his role as Darth Vader!

  13. Lighting some candles next to heavy drapes is just an invitation to get your house burned down. Another movie rule. #svengoolie

  14. Tonight's Sventune parodies "Ain't We Got Fun", written in 1920 by Richard A. Whiting, Raymond B. Egan and Gus Kahn, for the Fanchon and Marco revue Satires of 1920, then a hit record by Van & Shenk. #svengoolie en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ain%27t_

    Ain't We Got Fun

  15. That's what you get for bragging to everyone that you have a blackmail notebook. #svengoolie

  16. Finally, an actor who was on "Coronation Street." I thought we'd have gotten more with all these Hammer films. Still waiting on an "EastEnders" call out. #svengoolie

  17. #svengoolie mentioned they filmed at Ziv Studios' lot, which was a pioneer in first-run TV syndication. They produced Highway Patrol, Sea Hunt, Bat Masterson, I Led 3 Lives, and Science Fiction Theater, and sold directly to local stations.

  18. The Village People DID do a movie. The fact that you youngsters never heard of it should tell you all you need to know. Even wasted Valerie Perrine, Bruce Jenner and Steve Gutenberg. #svengoolie

  19. So far this movie is 95% exposition and 5% monster action. #svengoolie
