Saturday Fright Special is New Hampshire's first Horror-Host Television Show. Join host Scarewolf (a well-dressed werewolf
with a good sense of rhythm), and the rest of the SFS gang each week for a trip back in time with public domain monster
movies, intermission reels, commercials and all kinds of other nostalgia from bygone days.SATURDAY FRIGHT SPECIAL is hosted by Scarewolf, along with additional characters Santoro The Honduran Grappler (masked wrestler with a strong sense of propriety), Tae Kwon Dunk (impish basketball-headed martial artists who also hosts occasional SATURDAY FIGHT SPECIAL shows) and Morbia Poppatopoulous (the Deadly Domestic Diva), occasional comedy sketches inspired by the public domain film at hand, as well as old trailers, vintage PSAs, commercials and cartoons, educational short films, concession and intermission reels. Our intent is to bring back a little feeling of what it was like watching local TV stations in the 60s-80s. Keeping that in mind, we take care to try to ensure that most of our programs are suitable for general audiences. If a film goes any farther than what would be allowed on TV in the early 80s, we sanitize it to keep with the overall feel of watching a film on TV at that time. Occasionally we'll air a film uncut or have randier content in the breaks, and will run a humorous disclaimer at the beginning of the show, and also notify stations that the episode in question may not be "family friendly". Each episode features one or more prize giveaways, based either on trivia questions or random drawings. While most of the weekly DVD or T-shirt giveaways are "while supplies last", giving the advantage to viewers seeing the shows in their first two weeks of broadcast, we also run additional longer-term giveaways for event tickets and other prizes with longer entry windows, allowing for viewers outside our immediate broadcast area to enter and share in the fun. Past prizes of this type have included passes to Fright Kingdom in Nashua NH, the Rock and Shock horror convention in Worcester MA, and tickets to the SFS-produced Colonial Spooktacular film screening in Keene NH.
