Begin your Saturday night spookfest with the 1953 Vincent Price classic about a man who gets trapped in his own wax museum as it burns … and goes on to seek murderous revenge! It was the first color film made by a major studio in 3D (though it will be presented on 2D by Svengoolie … you’ll just have to create your own special effects).
Then, for the first time, Svengoolie will present the 1986 Jim Henson dark fantasy film Labyrinth, which features Jennifer Connelly as a teenage girl who must rescue her baby brother from Jareth (David Bowie), the big-haired Goblin King.
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1-6am ET/PT)
