Chiller Theatre, or Chiller Theater, was a late-night horror and science fiction movie program on WIIC/ WPXI, Channel 11, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1] It aired from September 14, 1963 to January 1, 1984. It was hosted by Bill Cardille, known to fans as " Chilly Billy". It was a Saturday night tradition for two generations of Pittsburghers. Two films were shown, one starting at 11:30p.m. and the second starting at about 1:00a.m. In between films, and at random times during the films, breaks were taken for skits such as reports from the "PSS"; in these skits, Bill Cardille would go into another part of the WIIC studios and pretend he was broadcasting from the (nonexistent) Pittsburgh Subway System. Other characters (portrayed by Cardille) included Captain Bad, Maurice the Matchmaker, and Mr. Magnificent. Cardille and WIIC publicist Robert Willis wrote the skits and sometimes Channel 11 staffers were enlisted to play bit parts. At the end of the show, Cardille would sit on a stool and banter with the studio crew. My client, one of the UK's largest independent travel companies...
