Dead Man's Eyes (1944)
Originally aired January 23, 2016, this Svengoolie episode opens with a promo teasing the eerie twists of Universal’s Inner Sanctum mystery Dead Man’s Eyes. Lon Chaney Jr. stars as Dave Stuart, a painter blinded under suspicious circumstances—was it an accident, or something more sinister? With his fiancée’s father offering his eyes for a future transplant, things take a macabre turn when the donor dies unexpectedly and Dave becomes a prime suspect. Acquanetta adds sultry tension as the jealous model-turned-nurse, and Svengoolie delivers his usual blend of trivia, puns, and parody sketches. Bonus: a surprise visit from Vicki Lawrence as Mama Harper adds to the fun.
The Phantom of the Opera (1962)
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.

Invisible Agent
The Invisible Man's grandson uses his secret formula to spy on Nazi Germany in this comedy-thriller.
