Svengoolie (1995) : 22x10

This episode kicks off with Svengoolie’s original show promo teasing Hammer’s moody, melodramatic take on Phantom of the Opera—a tale of music, madness, and masked menace. Herbert Lom plays the tortured Phantom, haunting the opera house’s underbelly while shielding young Christine from the pompous Lord Ambrose D’Arcy (Michael Gough). Hammer’s 1962 version swaps Parisian opulence for British gloom, with rich Technicolor visuals and eerie organ flourishes. Svengoolie adds his signature blend of parody songs, trivia, and coffin-side commentary, making this broadcast a hauntingly humorous tribute to gothic horror.
