Y'know, I Thank God I was a kid and got to watch & enjoy Chilly Billy and Chiller Theater growing up. Definitely a Pittsburgh Legend and his Legendary show.GOD BLESS YOU BILL CARDILLE AND THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES R.I.P.
This was the best of my youth! I would sneak back downstairs after my dad started snoring so I could watch Chilly Billy, Terminal Stare and the great scary movies!!! The best of "Late Night TV". Thanks for sharing this .... I feel like a kid again.
Uniontown here. This show was a big part of my childhood and adolescence. My parents would go to bed on Saturday night and I was allowed to stay up late and watch Chiller Theater. With a sleeping bag, bag of chips, root beer, and my dog, I was a very rich man. I grew up to have a great love for sci fi and horror movies. I met Bill Cardille twice, briefly. God bless you, Chilly Billy. I wish the world was as simple today as it was then.
I grew up watching Chiller Theater, I'm 61 years old and I watched Chiller Theater since I was 4 years old with my mother. I watched it for 16 out of the 20 years it ran, hardly missing a Saturday night and I sure miss watching it with my mother who I miss so much and chilly billy was a household word and I'm glad I was able to watch this final episode of Chiller Theater when it originally aired.
I am blown away!!thank you for uploading this...I am 58' years old and grew up in the point Marion Pennsylvania area and never missed the show..I literally grew up with it and I do mean literally..I was born Friday Nov 20 1964'..on Saturday Nov 21st bill cardille did his very first show in the 11:30 time slot, before then it had been a Saturday afternoon show...again thank you thank you thank you
I wish Bill's daughter would somehow come to host a new version of Chiller and play back some of Bill's skits from the different seasons or if they are recorded the owners of Chiller Theater should sell them as a download or disc. Thanks for posting this.
There is a sadness in getting old . All of the things that you enjoy disappear ! This show was my very favorite when I was in my early teens . Thank You WPXI Pittsburgh Pa & Bill Cardill
Agreed! There are some interviews out there but it would be nice to have it all in one place. It would be awesome if Rick Sebak (another Pittsburgh icon) would do one.
As a lifelong Pittsburgher, THANK YOU. Mister Rogers, we gave to the world. Chiller Theater, we kept for ourselves. All the more poignant now that Joe Flaherty, "Count Floyd," is gone.
So, when I recorded stuff back in the 80s as a kid I would pause the recording so as to eliminate them. In today’s world those are definitely the diamonds. With Chiller being aired late late at night I must have fallen asleep because there are a couple points in the second movie that everything is recorded. It’s only a handful of them mostly local Pittsburgh stuff and PSAs. I’m assuming at such a late time slot that commercial time was cheap and that’s why so much local stuff. I have culled those out and am going to put up another video discussing my chiller theater recording and will add them in there as a little bonus.
13:16 LOL Roberta Chirko. We called her "Birdy" I knew her back in 1984. This is the first time I have see this 40 years later. I have no idea what she is doing now.
Wow. It turned out she became one of the most famous models in the world in the 1990's. Crazy, I actually knew a world famous Supermodel! www.google.com/search?sca_esv=5f934dc76604e81e&q=roberta+chirko&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J_86uWOeqwdnV0yaSF-x2jrJh7Dt5wV71ckxEPe_0GQyc61_Jkg5ZI9z4zNW20fWd52E8UO95Fa_VxoakS9zyCiAT-lUw9SqXLpdCTRHyZ2TB397CTLvedOJGxV_D_7JRzn827oY3wzpySThiJ8JihGoKqQR2_EkH-yaVIj8nLqyaR61pA&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwiUpo2eqqeHAxXKN1kFHU2dBVgQtKgLegQIDhAB&biw=2560&bih=1313&dpr=1
No, John I’ve never seen it anywhere. I was looking through my old vhs tapes recently and found that I had recorded it back in 1984. In hindsight I wish I’d recorded the intro and the closing credits. Thanks for watching!
I do. However, I am missing the Chiller Theatre into and outro segments. I also recorded this when I was a teenager and paused to remove commercials so its kind of messy starting and stopping.
Thanks for a wonderful video. Loved Chiller Theater. I was born in 1957, so this fantastic show was a big part of my life for many years.

Point Marion is about 12 miles from me. I live in Uniontown. I really loved this show.
Thanks for sharing this after 40
Years I was trying to find this final episode of chiller theater
I was 5 in 1970 and my first memory of Chilly Billy when we lived in Pittsburgh.

You will die, sooner, rather than later, and the sadness will be gone.
They should do a biography show on Bill Cardille after all he was a Pittsburgh icon and gave us the greatest horror tv show
Agreed! There are some interviews out there but it would be nice to have it all in one place. It would be awesome if Rick Sebak (another Pittsburgh icon) would do one.

We'd visit family in Greensburg every summer, so Chiller with Chilly Billy was a must-watch.
Do you happen to have commercials and promos that aired during the last "Chiller Theater" show?

@@JimsRetroStuff Very interesting. Recently, PCNC, WPXI and WPXI Now had a new version of "Chiller Theater" for a few weeks.

Altoona in the house.. Chilly Billy Cardilly was the best
Is this available on Dvd? John.
No, John I’ve never seen it anywhere. I was looking through my old vhs tapes recently and found that I had recorded it back in 1984. In hindsight I wish I’d recorded the intro and the closing credits. Thanks for watching!
@@JimsRetroStuff got wqed
Do you have the version with the movies?
I do. However, I am missing the Chiller Theatre into and outro segments. I also recorded this when I was a teenager and paused to remove commercials so its kind of messy starting and stopping.
