Chiller

Discovered the "Chiller" channel, around the early 100s on Time Warner Cable NYC. Horror-themed joint that regurgitates a bunch of old stuff, like Freddy's Nightmares and the 80s version of The Twilight Zone.

I'd nearly forgotten about the 80s Twilight Zone. I guess that's the one I grew up with but I've gotten more accustomed to watching the original B&W series through countless marathons over the years.



The 80s version has a really cool opening sequence and higher production values than the 80s-based Tales from the Darkside. A bunch of remakes of the old storylines but a good selection of originals and some recognizable names credited as writers & directors. A fair share of clunkers, perhaps, but less egregious than Darkside.

Christ... 12 billion years never seemed so far away...

Well, this has been time well-spent, don't you think? On your way, then.
