New Network - ChillerTV

[tzikeh]

If you like horror or suspense movies and TV, see if your tv provider is carrying Chiller TV, a new network that just launched yesterday (or possibly the day before). On the schedule so far is a lot of classic Night Gallery, both old and new Alfred Hitchcock Presents, plus (relatively) newer series like Friday the 13th, Tales From the Crypt, American Gothic, Monsters, Twin Peaks (the pilot's on right now and will repeat multiple times this week - katallison, are you reading?), and just especially for meeeee: G vs E (aka Good vs. Evil), one of my favorite shows that never ever got a fair shake (or repeats). Bizarre, funny, not quite all there, and I highly recommend it.

They'll also be showing movies without commercials, which is just awesome. I only wonder if they're going to have to cut "Your mother sucks cock in hell!" from The Exorcist. I hope not. :)

I remember G Vs E quite fondly -- it had Richard Brooks enjoying the hell out of himself, among other virtues. Orange Volvo!

VOLVO!!! God, him calling for it on the street - priceless.

Oh G vs. E! I only saw a couple of episodes of that, but I remember it fondly.

And dammit, Comcast doesn't appear to be carrying this network yet. (I persevere, however, in believing that I have the Twin Peaks pilot SOMEWHERE in my vast pile of Inadequately Labelled Videotapes. It may take me a few months to uncover it, though . . . )

I am TiVo-ing it tonight, and would be SO HAPPY to burn it to a regular, playable-anywhere DVD and send it to you.

Whaddaya think? Pretty pretty visual quality on dvd? A logo in the bottom right-hand corner, but way better than a 16-year-old videotape, no?
