Horror host ‘Svengoolie’ on having Elvira’s respect: ‘Badge of honor’

It’s not always glamorous being a nationally known horror TV host.

Just ask Rich Koz, aka MeTV’s kooky horror czar “Svengoolie,” who, in the spirit of Halloween, spoke to The Post about the part he’s played for the past 44 years.

“I used to use a fake mustache that I would have to stick on with spirit gum [adhesive], and under the hot [TV] lights it would come off so I would add more spirit gum,” said Koz (pronounced “Koze”).

Do you watch him?

You know my sense of humor so you should know that I DIG him.
He is the host with the ghost!

I think he writes everything and even does a bunch of the voices so he is quite talented.

I love it when he puts his face into a freeze frame of the movie and does a set up then goes to the next movie line for the punchline.

You know, sadly, I did not watch him. I don't think he ever aired in Los Angeles. But the name "Svengoolie" is infamous.

I just saw that some guy named Rich Koz popped up on a birthday thread, so I googled, and I saw he's Svengoolie. So I searched to find something more interesting about him than just "happy birthday".

If you get MeTv you might be able to watch him.

I watch him every week. He's pretty funny.
