I no longer live in the area, but I, like you, grew up spending my saturday evenings glued to Psychomania, Night Gallery, or the like on Chiller Theater. Thanks for posting this. Holy cow!

They didn't even show the opening claymation at the start NOR in full anywhere up to an hour in. Just a couple seconds here and there of the hand at the commercial breaks. What's that all about? If they showed it at the start as they should have I'd probably have bought one of their cool 25.00 t-shirts...but not now. Fuck Them! WTF!?

Thanks for jarring loose all those buried WPIX memories (goodness gracious, the Editorial guy!). Very excited about having the Chiller opening burned into my kids brains this weekend.

They also had a 4 O'Clock movie during the week to compete with channel 7's 4:30 movie. NOBODY showed more horror movies than channel 9. And I swear we had MORE entertainment back then, with five channels, then we do now with all our infinite choices.

It was there for me before I was ever allowed to see all that brain-warping crap in the theater. For years, it was Chiller on Saturday night and Abbot and Costello Sunday morning. Didn't WOR Channel 9 show lots of low-grade horror movies from the 50's, 60's and 70's on Saturday afternoons, as well?
