 TV ACRES: Horror Show Hosts - Jerry G. Bishop as Svengoolie (Screaming Yellow Theater)
The new character was a pasty-faced hipster vampire who sported a goatee, mustache, silk scarf, top hat, tuxedo jacket, a halo of dark curly hair and dark circles around his eyes that accentuated his white complexion.
Speaking in a Transylvanian accent, (a la the original Svengoolie) the Son of Svengoolie welcomed his viewers into his dungeon abode to watch the "worst" in horror and sci-fi movies.
Before the end of each show, the Son of Sven was guaranteed to have performed commercial parodies, reedited scene from that night's movie for comic effect and been clobbered over the head with a rubber chicken.
