I've never seen them, but MeTV must think rather highly of them to put them back on late-night TV. The FOX affiliate in Cleveland on channel 8 also runs, or used to, anyway, horror movies on Saturday nights. This was a common practice in the '60s-'70s across the country, with different cities having different titles for their stations' horror film nights, e.g. "TV2 Horror Theater," et al. The shows were often hosted by local TV celebrities; in Cleveland, the channel 8 horror films were hosted by Big Chuck and Lil' John, and still are to this day.

I usually watch TZ every night too. I also like "Outer Limits" on This-TV as well. Here in Pittsburgh, we used to have "Chiller Theater" with "Chilly Billy" Cardille on Saturdays until 1983. We used to watch him every night. "Chilly Billy" was the newscaster in the movie "Night of the Living Dead" and he is still working on radio to this very day.
