Svengoolie is presenting a Swamp Thing night, airing Wes Craven's 1982 Swamp Thing at 8 PM Eastern/Pacific (7 PM Central) on MeTV with guest Adrienne Barbeau. The film, written and directed by Wes Craven, stars Adrienne Barbeau, Ray Wise, and Louis Jourdan. Barbeau joins the broadcast for a fan-favorite Nosti's Nook segment, and several viewers praised her as a good sport during that bit. Commenters on the stream called the episode campy and enjoyable, with some defending the film as a fun early comic-book movie and others joking about plot bits such as repeated scenes of dumping villains in the water. The broadcast included Svengoolie-specific running jokes and callouts, for example a line riff about a notebook and a gag about a pay phone booth in the swamp. Local viewers noted the showing as a family retro movie night and discussed the film's place in Craven's career with a few correcting the chronology of his earlier features.
