Age of The Nerd
Calling all horror fans! Don’t miss this spooktacular panel celebrating the greatest horror films and characters of all time, and the enduring legacy of Svengoolie as we explore the past, present and future of TV horror hosting. As the last nationally broadcast horror host on the air, Svengoolie represents a unique legacy in television history, blending classic monster movies with comedy and fan engagement to keep this beloved tradition alive since the 1970s – and on MeTV since 2011. This summer Svengoolie is excited to showcase some new movies to the Svengoolie library, including Earth Girls Are Easy which makes its MeTV debut on Saturday, July 26 at 8pm ET/PT, with the Sven Squad also taking over Svengoolie’s dungeon for the night to serve as official hosts. Attendees will get a SDCC exclusive Svengoolie and Sven Squad collectible trading card set and a limited edition Svengoolie button!
Legendary horror host Svengoolie (Rich Koz) will be joined by members of his Sven Squad Sarah Palmer (Gwengoolie), Scott Gryder (IMP) and Bill Leff (Nostalgiaferatoo), plus Svengoolie Executive Producer Jim Roche. The thrilling conversation will be moderated by Dan DiDio, former co-publisher of DC Comics.
