Chuck Sudo over at Chicagoist offers up some great memories of horror movies on local television. A no recollection would be complete without a nod to Rich Koz’s incarnation of Svengoolie, which began almost 30 years ago. In observance of Halloween, we offer up some moments of Svengoolie for your enjoyment.

And to read more about the history of horror on Chicago TV, the definitive account is Chicago TV Horror Movie Shows: From Shock Theatre to Svengoolie by Ted Okuda and Mark Yurkiw.
