SaveHollywood is not ready to work on Snow Leopard. Apparently this extends to any software that runs older screen savers in the background -- they'll appear with a system message reading "not compatible."
If I open System Preferences' Screen Savers panel as usual, my system tells me that old screen savers are not compatible. But if I open System Preferences in 32-bit mode, they seem to work (in the panel, but not always when playing). So I tried the Terminal command from this older hint, but had the same problem. Finally I searched how to run a screen saver in 32-bit mode from Terminal. For that, you do this:
arch -i386 AppToRunSo to run an older screen saver in the background, you'd use this command:
arch -i386 /System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background
