It's a "Chiller"

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Television will soon have an option for people who want to be scared out of their wits at any hour.

Chiller, a new network devoted exclusively to horror movies and series, will crawl up from the crypt on March 1. The specialty network is being launched by NBC Universal Cable Entertainment.

The series "Friday the 13th,""Twin Peaks,""Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "Tales from the Crypt" will be on the lineup at first. Look for movies like "The Shining""Psycho" and "Blade Runner" to be in heavy rotation. The network hasn't announced any original series.

The satellite service DirecTV is, so far, the only carrier to say it will carry Chiller. The network will also be presented as a triple-pack service, with separate high definition and on-demand channels.

Chiller is similar to Sleuth, an NBC Universal network devoted to crime mysteries. The company also owns USA, Bravo and Sci Fi.

YES! I hope there's alot of Hitchcock an Tales from the Crypt on there!

There's already a FEAR OnDemand for Comcast but it doesn't have much in there.

I LOVED the Friday the 13th TV series when I was younger. I'm not sure how it would hold up today, but I'm looking forward to it.

Blade Runner?

I see someone decided to give Vs. a run for its money for most ridiculous channel name.

Maybe one day they'll get the rights to the original Twilight Zone series, and show episodes regularly...

This is one of my all-time favorite shows, but Sci-Fi, except for the July 4th and New Year's Eve/Day Marathons only shows episodes on weeknights in the middle of the night.

With Twin Peaks on, I'd be interested in Time Warner carrying the network (especially because the second season has still not been released on DVD - although Amazon is now listing an April 07 release).

Would love to see some Night Gallery as well, one of my favs as a Kid.

Dammit, when are they going to have the Martial Arts Network 24 hours a day. That is something I had been hoping for a long time.

Ooooh, I want a cool channel like that (no pun intended) :(

Where's the martial arts channel? I miss watching those movies on Saturdays (I believe) when I was younger.
