Well, another thing I can't see is sitting through this again! Until next time, #Svengoolie pals!

I'm calling BS on the duct tape off TP. I just don't believe that. #Svengoolie

The cigar smoke is actually a smart idea. #Svengoolie

Yeah, we just had a botched execution of our own down here in TN... #Svengoolie

You told me a little fire water won't hurt me...BUT YOU LIED!!! #Svengoolie

He won't... BECAUSE there's a... What? #Svengoolie

Wow. That was surreal, because I have the poster for House on Haunted Hill on my wall right By my TV. #Svengoolie

Hey, Tony Hawk! Didn't Jack Smith conspire with him against the President?! #Svengoolie

These are Harry Potter's distant cousins. #Svengoolie

Well, #Svengoolie just showed one of the top few greatest movies ever made. So that happened.

Who's the most unhelpful wizard, Glinda or Gandalph? #Svengoolie

Take their fortitude out of moth balls!😆 #Svengoolie

What a great villain. Just because she was a cool villain, there was no need to rehabilitate her like Vader or...nuts. Nevermind. #Svengoolie

I like how little actions show that the Lion really does have courage, the Tin Man a heart, and just now the Scarecrow a brain. #Svengoolie

Let's not sleep on the fact that these three beat the crap out of 3 Winkie guards and took their uniforms. #Svengoolie

Man, no irony. No winking at the camera. Judy just goes for it and she'll break your heart. If you have one. #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Scarecrow's gun just cracks me up for some reason. #Svengoolie

My grandmother loved this movie. She was a reader and probably caught the last couple of the original series of books as they were coming out. I just now thought of her for the first time in years, really. She's been gone for over 30 years. I'm tearing up a little. #Svengoolie

Bolger and Haley's makeup are perfect. Turning Lahr into a lion was one thing where the limitations of the era are kind of unavoidable. #Svengoolie

In the books, Tin Man knows how to use that axe. He ain't worried about no lions, tigers or bears. #Svengoolie

Hamilton's makeup is so striking. Such a bright green compared to like the Hulk. And contrasted with her black robes, it's... uncanny. #Svengoolie

Look up Tin Man's (aka Nick Chopper) origin. It's DAAAAAAAAAARK!!! #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Those are called canonically called the Fighting Trees, btw. Oz nerd lore. #Svengoolie

This is magical. Have the DVD. Watched my friend's BluRay a bunch of times. But watching it on broadcast TV for the first time in decades is special. #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Why do I suspect Bolger did a few takes before saying..."up your back"? #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

It's just a banger from frame one to frame last. Every. Goddamn. Frame. #Svengoolie

I can only imagine how this movie blew the minds of children who saw it back then, like Star Wars for us Xers or Harry Potter for the Millennials. I like to imagine myself having those experiences. #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah...this number is gonna get a lot of play sometime in the next couple years. You all know why. #Svengoolie

Wow, I didn't know that about the door! I thought it was some sort of optical effect. #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A large set! How were the makers of this movie so far ahead of today's Hollywood technologically?! #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The tornado effect is amazing to this day. Not to be mean to Twister, but there's real awe and terror in "The Cyclone". #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Maybe I will try the horror host thing myself someday. #Svengoolie

Judy is so good in this. You just believe in her performance. #Svengoolie

They chose a classic book to adapt. Always choose your books carefully. #Svengoolie

Good Night of the Living Live! Stoked for next week's double feature! Until then #Svengoolie pals!

Poor Ben. The character can't catch a break. #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Hah. I have one of those faux vintage radios! Bet it also has Blue Tooth! #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

But...does this movie have Trevor Bannister?! #Svengoolie

Ray Kelley @raykelley.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

You know, #Svengoolie just reminded me of how legit terrified I was of Margaret Hamilton in Oz.
