Variety reports that NBC plans to make a new digital cable network devoted to horror-themed programming, called Chiller which will debut March 1st.
“Chiller will take advantage of NBC U’s deep reservoir of horror-related TV shows (“Alfred Hitchcock Presents”) and films (“The Shining,” “Psycho”), many of them from the old MCA library. But Gaspin said the cabler also has acquired programming from other congloms, including 20th Century Fox TV, Sony, Warner Bros. TV and Lionsgate.”
“Other programming assets include “Twin Peaks,” “Tales From the Crypt,” “Freddy’s Nightmares” and “Friday the 13th: The Series.”
