First, the cast and crew of Wolfman Mac's Chiller Drive-In wish to thank the good people at Detroit's My TV 20 for giving us the opportunity to be part of the great tradition of locally produced TV programs here in Detroit.
While Chiller Drive-in may be leaving the My TV 20 airwaves after next week, you can still catch us throughout SE Michigan on the RTV Network every Saturday night at 10 pm - Comcast SE MI Channel 297, Comcast Pontiac/Waterford Channel 297, BrightHouse Channel 128, WOW Channel 101 and Digital 7.2.
We're hard at work on a new season, and working to secure other venues for those that have providers that don't carry RTV. But a friendly email or phone call to those providers couldn't hurt either! Stay tombed!

Killer B's, Rockabilly, She-Beast, Gappa and Hot Dog Monsters!
Here at Chiller Drive-In, we feel that one can’t start the weekend soon enough. So tomorrow night at the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak, it’s February’s Attack of The Killer B’s – and it looks like we won’t get snowed out this time. This month we throwing a beach party with “Beach Girls and The Monster”! Come out in your wildest beach attire and don’t forget your laser pointers! There’s even going to be a “Worst Hawaiian Shirt” contest!
That's Thursday, February 4th at 7pm! $9 Adults, $7 Students, $5 Kids | Main Art Theater 118 Main Street, Royal Oak (248) 263-2111
And Friday night it’s Wolfman Mac’s Rockabilly Fridays at Bo’s Smokehouse and Brewery in downtown Pontiac. The cast of Chiller Drive-In will be there, and this week Graveside Manner brings their unique brand of creepy psychobilly to the stage!
The scene fires up at 9pm! Drink specials all night and the kitchen is open til Midnight. 21 and over only. $5 cover at the door. Click here to download the flyer.
And if you need to stay home Saturday night to recover, Chiller Drive-In has you covered!
Saturday night at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central on RTV – Season 1 wraps up on RTV with the “Horror of Party Beach.” A beach full of dancing teenyboppers, greasers and old-people-pretending-to-be-teenagers is terrorized by a radioactive monster that looks like it’s eaten too many hot dogs at once. This film has it all! Monsters, music, bikini babes, summer fun, mayhem, drunks and explosions!
Saturday night at 12:30 on Detroit’s My TV 20 – To make up for our goof last week, Detroit viewers get to endure the horror classic, “The She Beast.” And even though Barbara Steele is barely in this film, she manages to get top billing. This film combines horror and Keystone Cops capers in a complete mess that only Chiller Drive-In would dare show.
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8 – The Gappa family are stomping their way to your TV. It’s 1967’s “Monster From a Prehistoric Planet.” The monster smack down begins when some nosey humans decide to take a giant baby bird-reptile away from it’s home. The very large and dangerous mommy and daddy go looking for their missing offspring. But rather than putting flyers on a few telephone poles, decide to search for the twerp by destroying one city after another.

Another big weekend of Chiller Drive-In stuff!
Friday evening at Bo’s Smokehouse in downtown Pontiac, it’s Wolfman Mac’s Rockabilly Fridays! Wolfman Mac will be spinning the tunes and Horse Cave Trio will be melting faces with their unique brand of blues and rockabilly!
The scene fires up at 9pm! Drink specials all night and the kitchen is open til Midnight. 21 and over only. $5 cover at the door. Click here to download the flyer.
Saturday night at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central on RTV – From 1961, it’s "Phantom Planet". This sci-fi stinker is your typical man-meets-aliens fare, with desperate attempts at realism, cheeseball special effects (come to think of it, the asteroids kinda look like cheeseballs) and sub plots galore.
It stars Dean Fredericks who appeared in dozens of films and TV shows in 50s and 60s. Stealing the show with her raven hair and scorching hot bod is Dolores Faith as Zetha. Not to mention the added bonus that she’s mute through most of the film. You'll also see Richard Kiel (best known as Jaws in several Bond films) paying his dues as the Solarite alien.
Saturday night at Midnight on Detroit’s My TV 20 – Uh.... whoops. It was supposed to be She Beast... Due to a mix up in post-production (this time it’s our fault), My TV 20 is also going to be showing "Phantom Planet". Look at it his way, it’s a movie so awful that we couldn’t help but show it twice in one night on two different networks. Sorry for the mix up.
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8 – For the lucky folks in Florida we have the 1963 Psycho-wanna-be, "Dementia 13". It's a film loaded with senseless killing and a plot that makes even less sense. It's hard to believe that Francis Ford Coppola directed this movie, but easy to believe Roger Corman produced it.

Sleep is for the tired
It’s going to be a big Chiller weekend and it all kicks off with Rockabilly Friday’s at Bo’s Smokehouse in downtown Pontiac! Every Friday Night, Wolfman Mac will be spinning the tunes and your favorite local bands will be kicking out desperate Rock and Roll, Bopping Blues, Psychobilly and Rockabilly hits!
The joint starts jumping at 9pm and the Juke Joint Johnny’s will be providing the live music! Drink specials all night and the kitchen is open til Midnight. 21 and over only. $5 cover at the door. Click here to download the flyer.
Saturday night at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central on RTV – You have “She Beast”. Even though Barbara Steele is barely in this film, she managed to get top billing. It’s really the screwball antics of the Romanian Police that steal the show. This film combines horror and Keystone Cops capers in a complete mess that only Chiller Drive-In would dare show. Click here to find RTV in your neck of the woods!
Saturday night at Midnight on Detroit’s My TV 20 - It‘s the Italian mystery/thriller “Werewolf in a Girl’s Dormitory”. Come for the werewolf mauling and scorching hot Barbara Lass, and stay for the Horse Cave Trio music video!
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8 – Tune in for what is arguably the greatest horror film ever made; "Night of The Living Dead". It’s the all-you-can-eat zombie munch fest that all that followed wish they could measure up to.
And if that’s too much horror and not enough sci-fi for you, get out to ConFusion 2010 at the Troy Marriott! The show opens this Friday and runs all weekend long. There will be guests, a masquerade party, dealers, art show and dozens of events and panel discussions! There are so many things to see and do at ConFusion, we can’t possibly list them all! Visit the ConFusion site for a complete breakdown or check out Boney’s ringing endorsement below!
Get some rest while you’re at work! It’s gonna a big weekend!

Stay Creepy this Weekend with Chiller Drive-In
Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-in has a trio of stinkers to belt out this week!
Saturday night at 10 pm on RTV - You've got the gloomy Italian horror/mystery film, “Werewolf In A Girl’s Dormitory”. Yeah, it’s got some bad dubbing, and the dialog is awful, and the werewolf is pretty lame, but it does star drop-dead-gorgeous Barbara Lass. And plenty of folks drop dead after being mauled by the werewolf. So it’s not all bad.
Saturday night at Midnight on Detroit’s My TV 20 - The good (and tolerant) people of Detroit get to relive the "Horrors of Spider Island". This movie is little more than an excuse to have hot German babes fight and dance in skimpy outfits, while a man-spider unenthusiastically tries to kill them. Make sure you watch this one hungry, because it's loaded with cheese and cheesecake.
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8 - Tune in for the 1922 silent classic that needs no introduction, "Nosferatu"! And because this is a 4-star film, you’ll get points with all your snooty, arts-fartsy friends, and get some “culture” while being entertained! Win-win, baby!
Wolfman Mac’s Rockabilly Fridays at Bo’s Smokehouse
Hey Wolf Pack! Get out your retro attire for Rockabilly Friday’s at Bo’s Smokehouse and Bar-B-Que in downtown Pontiac!
Every Friday Night, Wolfman Mac will be spinning the tunes and your favorite local bands will be kicking out desperate Rock and Roll, Bopping Blues, Psychobilly and Rockabilly hits!
January 22nd - Juke Joint Johnny’s
January 29th - Horse Cave Trio
February 5th - Graveside Manner
The joint starts jumping at 9pm! Drink specials all night and the kitchen is open til Midnight. 21 and over only. $5 cover at the door.
Due to craptacular weather and poor driving conditions, tonight’s Attack of the Killer B's event has been canceled. We will be back on Thursday February 4th, with "Beach Girls and the Monster". All the crazy fun, Hawaiian shirt and Bikini contest, will happen when we see you next month. Stay warm, safe and creepy!

Warm Up With Chiller Drive-In!
It’s pretty much cold anyplace you go in the United States this weekend, so why not stay inside and bask in the warm glow of your TV and get a healthy dose of radiation from Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-In?
Saturday night at 10 pm on RTV – it’s the camp classic “Horrors of Spider Island”! The only real horror about this film is that fact that it got made in the first place. It stars a bevy of babes that get stranded on a deserted island with their manager. The manager gets bitten by a huge spider and turns into a fuzzy spider monster. But don’t worry about that. Most of this film is spent on the girls and their fights, snarky comments and skimpy outfits. It's a terrible movie that's easy on the eye. Click here to find RTV in your town!
Saturday night at Midnight on Detroit’s My TV 20 – for the folks that don’t get RTV or just like to torture themselves, it’s “Evil Brain From Outer Space”! Boney Bob’s favorite superhero Starman kicks alien booty in this superhero sci-fi disaster-piece! It’s got battle scenes choreographed by ballet instructors and costumes that leave nothing to the imagination! But if that’s not enough tune in to see StarBob and his battle with the Milkman!
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8 – you’ve got the touching horror-romance of “Tormented”! It’s a touching love story about a man who “accidentally” kills his ex girlfriend by throwing her off a lighthouse (points for originality), and is then haunted by her ghost. Richard Carlson plays a Jazz pianist that can’t seem to stop killing people to keep his crimes quiet. The scorching hot Juli Reding stars as Vi, the ghost with the 40-23-35 curves. It’s about the closest we’re ever going to get to showing a chick-flick.
Don’t forget to join Wolfman Mac and the cast and crew of Chiller Drive-In tonight at 7pm at the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak for January’s “Attack of the Killer B’s”! This month we have the beach blanket bongo bash, “Beach Girls and The Monster”!
Make sure you get there on time for the rockabilly sounds of the Juke Joint Johnny’s! Come out in your wildest beach attire and don’t forget your laser pointers! There’s going to be a “Loudest Shirt” contest! Come out and forget all about the cold!
That's tonight at 7pm! $9 Adults, $7 Students, $5 Kids | Main Art Theater118 Main Street, Royal Oak (248) 263-2111

Happy Ghoul Year!
Chiller Drive-in is ringing in 2010 with the cinematic schlock you love!
Saturday night at 10pm on RTV, Starman drops in to save the Earth in “Evil Brain From Outer Space”! Since this nonsensical film is an amalgamation of three other nonsensical films, you can rest assured that your mind will be completely obliterated by the time we get to the second commercial break. In fact, if your brain hasn’t turned to tapioca by 11 pm, you’re taking way too much ginko biloba. Better set your DVR now. Looking for RTV? Click here to find RTV in your neck of the woods.
Saturday night at Midnight on Detroit’s My TV 20, we wrap up Season 2 with the 1959 cinematic stinker, “Teenage Zombies”. A group of nosey teens discover the laboratory of a sexy mad scientist who plans to turn everyone into a dopey “zombie”. If that sounds insane, wait until the fight scene with the gorilla. Tune in and find out why this film cracks so many Worst-Films-Ever-Made lists.
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8, put on a pot of coffee and prepare for the “Attack of The Giant Leeches”! Radiation once again plays the role of monster maker and turns some happy little swamp leeches into monstrous beasts that feed on humans - and make basketball sized hickeys on their victims. That’s hot.
Okay, we know that everyone’s pretty beat after the holidays but we have something that’s sure to recharge your batteries! Bust out your bathing suits and bikini’s this Thursday, January 7th at 6 pm at the Main Art Theater! Join Wolfman Mac, the cast and crew of Chiller Drive-in and special musical guests The Juke Joint Johnny's for January’s Attack of the Killer B’s! This month we’re showing the beach bongo bash, “The Beach Girls and The Monster”!
The music starts at 6pm and the movie kicks off at 7pm! Tickets are $9 for adults, students $7, kids under 12 $5. The Main Art Theater is at 118 N Main Street in downtown Royal Oak. Call them at 248 263-2111, or click here for more info.
For everyone that’s overdone it on the stop-motion animated holiday specials and can't sleep because that Miser-brothers song won't get out of their skull, it’s Chiller Drive-In to the rescue!
This Saturday night at 10pm on RTV. It’s the holiday classic (okay, not really) “I Bury The Living”. This psycho-thriller doesn’t have a monster or blood and guts or anything like that. Instead it has a big ugly map on a wall! Ooooo! If you liked Carnival of Souls (and who doesn’t), then you’ll dig (get it?) I Bury The Living. Wonder where you can find RTV? Click here!
Saturday night at a special time, 12:30 on Detroit’s My TV 20, we have a hefty chunk of coal to stuff in your stocking. From 1976 you've got “The Legend of Bigfoot”. This stinker of a documentary explores the wilderness of North America in search of Chiller Drive-In’s second-favorite hair covered individual.
Saturday night at Midnight on Ft. Myers’ My TV 8, tune in for “The Devil’s Hand”. A man is haunted by visions of a hot blond, so he dumps his frumpy brunette girlfriend and joins a Satanic cult... Sheesh, who hasn’t fallen for this at least twice in their lives? It stars Neil Hamilton who is probably best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon on the 1960’s Batman TV show.
The Cast and Crew of Wolfman Mac’s Chiller Drive-In wish everyone a Creepy Christmas and Happy Ghoul Year! Wait til you see what we’re digging up for 2010!
