Okay, first of all, sorry about this being one blog for two days- I’ve had a bunch of loose ends to handle, and they got the best of me. I’ll try to regain my momentum (which used to be some sort of tablet for back pain, if I remember correctly) and get myself back on schedule here…
Once again, let me drop the hint that big things will be coming to this website-and they will be appearing very soon! For those who have been clamoring for a Sven website with plenty of information-can you say “expanded Sven content?” It will all be available here at wciu.com – so, check back on a regular basis, and be prepared for some big time fun!
Speaking of big fun, our pals at Horrorbles will be bringing you an Ed Wood double feature at the Portage Theater-4050 N. Milwaukee- Friday night- “Bride of the Monster” and “Plan 9 from Outer Space!” Plus, a special appearance by Ed Wood stock player Conrad Brooks! Check for more details at horrorbles.com …
And, once again, I have been smart to rely on you Sven fans for answers to questions that I myself cannot come up with…you may remember that I posed to you the question of what the title was of a Peter Graves movie, in which he takes a bunch of students on a field trip into some deep cave-meanwhile, some huge catastrophe happens above ground, and everyone exposed to the sun is turned into a pile of powder! Pat and Kelly had been searching for this film for a long time- and thought it was from the 50s- but NOOOO! A multitude of Sven fans wrote to me, and said it was a made for TV movie, from 1974, entitles “Where Have All the People Gone?” Said to be very much like a “Twilight Zone” episode, it is indeed the story of some bizarre solar flares that wipe out most of the population of humans (leaving them as piles of ash inside their clothing,) and render animals insane! It’s up to Mr. Graves and the other few survivors (including Kathleen Quinlan, who, coincidentally, was in “Twilight Zone: the Movie”) to try to rebuild the devastated human race. Our thanks to the many blog readers who helped us solve this mystery!
Plus, you once again have corrected a mistake I’ve made (not ALL of them- that would be a full-time job!)- when talking about the movie “Beast of Hollow Mountain”- I mentioned that it starred Guy Madison, was Disney’s “Zorro”- a pretty dumb mistake- he was TV’s “Wild Bill Hickock”- of course, Guy Williams was Zorro (and, yes, also Will Robinson’s dad on “Lost in Space!”) More of my thanks to all of you who wrote in to correct me!
I just received word that Svengoolie has been nominated for a “Rondo” award- and that YOU can vote for me! I’ll get more information, and post it here in the next few days!
