"House on Haunted Hill" 1999 remake.
"Svengoolie" aired another replay of the 1958 Vincent Price classic of the same name over the weekend on "Me TV". For those wondering, host Rich Koz aired a different movie earlier in the evening on "The U", but because of contractual obligations, "Me" aired a different "Sven" show around 12:30a Sunday morning. WCIU 26 & WWME 23's parent company, Weigel Broadcasting, just signed a new deal with SONY/Columbia Pictures to air classic horror & monster movies from their vast archives. As Koz explains in his "Svengoolie" blog at WCIU.com, there are only so many films that can air on both "The U" & "Me TV" under terms of the new deal with SONY/Columbia. That explains why two different "Sven" shows have been airing in recent weeks. Just for the record, the 1998 modern classic "John Carpenter's Vampires" airs Saturday @ 9p on WCIU, while the same film replays Sunday @ 1a on WWME with the legendary "Svengoolie".
