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 ShiningPsycho 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.

I remember getting really excited about the Sci-Fi Channel launch, until I finally got it and realized that it sucked. I hope they do a better job with this one.
Isn't there a Horror Channel out there? Available for certain satellite subscribers who have the green, glowing magic radar dish?
Man, that flick The Shining Psycho is a scary one.
