Step into a lost world trapped beneath the ice this Saturday, August 15th, as the House of Svengoolie presents Universal’s 1957 sci-fi spectacle, The Land Unknown!
When a US Navy helicopter crew crashes into a mysterious, volcanic warm water oasis hidden deep inside Antarctica, they find themselves stranded in a prehistoric jungle. Cut off from rescue, the expedition must survive constant attacks from giant carnivorous plants, a menacing T-Rex, and a aquatic Elasmosaurus while searching for a way back to the modern world. Featuring iconic 1950s practical effects, matte paintings, and creature suits, it’s a classic lost-world adventure in the grandest B-movie tradition.
While our stranded scientists dodge dinosaur jaws, the Sven Squad will be keeping the climate cool with plenty of icy puns, prehistoric trivia, and a roaring avalanche of flying rubber chickens. Grab your thermal gear and tune in to MeTV at 8P | 7C for a thrilling trip back in time!
