🕷️ Dog Days & Dead Nights: Svengoolie’s August Horror Harvest
Welcome, fiends and phantom fans, to the dog days of summer—where fleas aren't the only things crawling, and your thermostat may not be the only thing possessed. Svengoolie’s August lineup bites, barks, and howls with cinematic horror—from stop-motion scorpions to bloodsucking aristocrats, and one very irritable Irish goblin with anger issues. Let’s sink our fangs into the schedule:
🦂 August 2 – Black Scorpion
Willis O’Brien, the father of King Kong’s twitchy skeleton, sends his giant arachnids skittering across Mexico. Nothing says summer vacation like venomous death-by-chitin!
🐺 August 9 – Werewolf of London
Before Lon Chaney Jr. howled his way into horror history, Henry Hull was muttering “werewolfery” like a Victorian madman in bloom. Watch him turn lupine under the influence of cursed botany and bad decisions.
🦇 August 16 – Horror of Dracula
Hammer horror kicks down the crypt door with Christopher Lee’s bloodthirsty nobility versus Peter Cushing’s furiously polite vampire-slaying. Gothic drama never looked so tailored.
⚡ August 23 – DOUBLE FEATURE!
Curse of Frankenstein: Dr. F's got a new resume entry—Reanimator of Dead Parts. Cushing plays God, Lee plays “the thing that used to be someone else,” and you play horrified viewer.
Leprechaun: Warwick Davis dons green and goes gleefully murderous over gold theft. Jennifer Aniston learns early that pots of gold come with strings (and knives).
🕯️ August 30 – Dead of Night
Dan Curtis delivers a triptych of terror for the season finale: time travel mishaps, vampire gaslighting, and a reanimated boy who should’ve stayed in the grave. If Twilight Zone had a darker twin locked in the attic, this would be it.
From dust-bitten classics to Hammer horror royalty and mischievous fairy folk, this month offers enough cryptic charm to keep your air conditioner company. Whether you’re watching with the lights off or just trying to keep the dog from transforming under the full moon, Svengoolie’s got your Saturday scares covered.
