Yes , I saw a trailer for that documentary. Have'nt actually seen it , tho'.
SVENGOOLIE , again , if we have'nt talked about this already , was played by Jerry G. Bishop in the early - mid 70's . HE'S A FORMER CLEVELAND AND CHICAGO DJ , NOW BASED IN L.A.. HE WAS FRIENDS WITH ERNIE ANDERSON (King Ghoulardi.), and based his act partly on Ghoulardi , and a bit of Lenny Bruce thrown in. Goofy , but , hipper than most. He was later replaced by Richard Koz as "Son of Svengoolie"......Koz returned to Televison in Chicago , several years ago. He now hosts a fine Three Stooges program as himself , and Horror MOVIES AS JUST "SVENGOOLIE". Bishop was MUCH better , but , at least Koz is keeping it going, and kids are getting turned on to Horror movies , again.
Bishop briefly hosted a great Oldies show on an elusive , but outstanding , AM station (Oldies 1690.) that should have torn Chicago a new one , but died the death in about six months .

Also, has anyone ever seen this older kids show called The Hilarious House of Frightenstein? It's like Sesame Street had a baby with a haunted castle and that show was the offspring.
