The Best of Both Worlds with Pinup Palmer aka GwenGoolie
Mistress of the Macabre. Queen of Kitsch. Keeper of the Pink Flame. This week, Jerry Horror throws open the crypt door for Sarah Palmer, better known as Pinup Palmer and Gwengoolie, beloved member of MeTV's Sven Squad alongside legendary horror host Svengoolie.
Before joining one of horror hosting's most hallowed halls, Sarah spent more than a decade conjuring movie magic at Universal Studios Hollywood, portraying icons like Marilyn Monroe, the Bride of Frankenstein, and Helen in the explosive WaterWorld stunt spectacular. Jerry and Sarah exhume stories from those haunted Hollywood years, tracing her journey from scare actor to one of television's newest keepers of the midnight movie tradition.
The conversation is packed tighter than Dracula's coffin with classic monster memories, vintage fashion, pinup glamour, cosplay, horror hosting, and the enduring magic of late-night creature features. Sarah also opens the lid on her YouTube channel, where she's on a mission to keep horror glamorous, retro, spooky, and proudly pink for a new generation of monster kids.
So dim the lights, fire up the fog machine, and tune your TV to the UHF station that only comes in after midnight. Whether you grew up with Elvira, Vampira, Svengoolie, or Saturday afternoon monster marathons, this episode is a love letter to horror hosts, classic Hollywood, and the wonderfully weird world where Burbank becomes Horror's Row.
Editor Note: No rubber chickens were harmed in the making of this interview...though a few vampires complained about the craft services. 🦇📺🎃
