TIME FOR A WPIX MOVIE! Ah, memories of kicking back after the Action News for the Eight O'Clock Movie. This clip, from 1984, comes complete with a subtle technical snafu. The movie starts early, and you can still here the intro's theme music playing, but very low. Do you miss the days of movies on the independent channels? | WPIX Archives

WPIX TV Sunday Morning Movie & Sunday Afternoon Movie 1970

Psycho II on WPIX, 1990 | Horror Ads

Can't believe I missed Dream Warriors' birthday! A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 turned *36* yesterday. Still my favorite Freddy movie, and also just one of my favorite films overall. Here's a TV spot for a 1992 broadcast on WPIX, which was how I originally saw Dream Warriors all those years ago. Wasn't even a big horror guy at that point, but I fell in love all the same! | Dinosaur Dracula

Watching horror movies on network TV was such a formative part of my youth... and a great way to cure boredom when I ran out of comics to organize. Here's the intro to a October '92 broadcast of Friday the 13th Part VI, on WPIX. Imagine catching a movie like that, in prime time, just a few channels away from mainstream sitcoms. I was absolutely watching that night! | Dinosaur Dracula
