🎩 Dale T. Doll’s March Guide to Svengoolie Shenanigans
(Filed under: Broadcast Warnings, Haunted Calendars, and Things Barry Forgot He Recorded)
Well now… gather ‘round, Earthlings. March has rolled in like a rubber bat on a string, and that means it’s time for your old pal Dale T. Doll to flip through the Svengoolie schedule and tell you what’s worth clutching your pearls over. Spoiler: all of it.
I’ve dusted off my wicker chair, tightened my joints, and prepared my commentary. Let’s take a look at what Sven is unleashing this month…
🦴 March 7 — Son of Frankenstein
Karloff! Lugosi! Rathbone! A trio so powerful it could raise the dead—literally, in this case.
This is the one where Frankenstein’s kid comes home to clean up the family name, which goes about as well as you’d expect. Ygor lurks, the Monster broods, and Rathbone chews scenery like it’s a buffet. A perfect warm‑up for the month: moody, gothic, and full of questionable parenting choices.
🔪 March 14 — House of Svengoolie Presents: Friday the 13th
Ah yes… Jason. The man, the myth, the walking cutlery drawer.
Sven and the Sven Squad are camping out, which is brave considering their track record with rubber spiders and exploding rubber chickens. Expect shrieks, machetes, and enough campfire energy to summon a forest spirit. Verity Bleu watched this once and asked why humans insist on vacationing where they can be stabbed. I had no answer.
🧻 March 21 — The Mummy’s Hand
The second film in the original series, and the first one where the mummy really starts getting cranky.
This one’s got curses, desert dust, and enough bandages to restock a hospital. A classic “archaeologists make bad decisions” story. I personally enjoy the mummy’s slow, determined shuffle—reminds me of Barry before his morning coffee.
🏚️ March 28 — House on Haunted Hill
Vincent Price. William Castle. A house that needs therapy.
This is the perfect closer for March: skeletons on wires, acid pits, and Price smirking like he knows where the bodies are buried (he does). A haunted house flick with charm, camp, and enough twists to make your head spin right off your shoulders—mine actually did once, but that’s another story.
🎬 Dale’s Final Word
March is shaping up to be a beautiful parade of monsters, maniacs, and questionable real estate. I’ll be watching from my wicker throne, one glass eye on the screen and the other drifting toward the snack table.
