Unsheathe your rapiers and prepare for a swashbuckling take on classic horror this Saturday, August 1, as Svengoolie presents Hammer’s 1974 cult gem, Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter!
When a sinister force begins draining the youth and beauty from young village women, the dashing ex-soldier Kronos (Horst Janson) and his hunchbacked companion Grost are called in to track down the undead. Ditching traditional vampire tropes for swordplay, unique lore, and stylish action, this British horror classic remains one of the most distinctive entries in the entire Hammer Horror catalog.
Between the fencing duels and the vampire hunting, the Sven Squad will be on hand with plenty of sharp puns, fascinating behind-the-scenes Hammer trivia, and a healthy volley of flying rubber chickens. Grab your wooden stakes and steel—tune in to MeTV at 8P | 7C for a night of swashbuckling scares and Gothic fun!
