Svengoolie Unleashes Giant Teens in Cult Classic Village of the Giants

Tonight, cult classic fans get a dose of pure, unadulterated B-movie chaos. Legendary horror host Svengoolie unleashes 1965's "Village of the Giants" on MeTV. Imagine rebellious teens, a mysterious goo, and objects — and people — growing to colossal proportions. Sounds like a monster-of-the-week episode gone delightfully wild, doesn't it?

This isn't just any old flick. "Village of the Giants" is a "teensploitation" sci-fi comedy, loosely inspired by H.G. Wells' "The Food of the Gods." It features a young Ronny Howard before his Opie days, a fresh-faced Beau Bridges, and musical stylings from The Beau Brummels. Director Bert I. Gordon, a master of schlock, brings his signature touch to a story where a blob of strange "Goo" turns rabbits, ducks, and eventually the teens themselves into... well, giants.

For decades, Rich Koz, as the iconic Svengoolie, has championed forgotten gems and glorious failures of cinema. His show is a cultural institution, celebrated for its unique blend of corny jokes, trivia, and a genuine appreciation for genre films. Tonight’s broadcast promises extra fun: an encore performance from Freddy Cannon and a playful nod to Ron Howard's famous roles, all wrapped in Svengoolie's signature "Svensurround" commentary.

Why watch? Because it's a peek into a fascinating corner of pop culture. It’s a riotous, oversized romp that’s perfect for fans who appreciate the weird and wonderful, much like many cult anime and manga series. Tune in tonight at 8 pm ET/7 pm CT on MeTV for a giant-sized dose of nostalgic fun.
