I wonder where they got the great creepy background music with the finger snapping and horn sounds and the eerie -I dunno if it's keyboard music or what-but it's great. I also wonder where they got the cartoon network theme music from the mid 90's. Turner networks were awesome back then.
Wow...MONSTERVISION gone...100% WEIRD! gone...CARTOON*NETWORK gone (The Classics that is)...USA UP ALL NIGHT gone...SCI~FI CHANNEL CLASSICS...gone...It would seem only on HERE can you find what WE FANS CRAVE: The CLASSIC HORROR/SCI~FI MOVIES!!!
I probably watched this night of television and I'm here to tell you they played the 50's version. They just called it the wrong THING! (get it? Haha) but seriously until Joe Bob started hosting Monstervision was usually composed of old 50's and 60's movies. Sometimes they would just show marathons of the outer limits and the most frequently showed films were the Godzilla movies.
Wow, I remember this exact ad. It was the first time I had ever seen "The Thing" -- which is still a damn good movie. Man, I miss Joe Bob Briggs and Monstervision.
@jasoncinema Turner has said in interviews he regrets selling his old channels now, particularly regrading how bad CNN got. Too late now though, teddy. ;(
@jasoncinema Exactly. Time/Warner also owns CNN which why that "news" channel sucks now. All major networks suck now because they are corporate controlled. When these channels were independently owned, they had much batter programs on. I especially miss the old USA Network.
@gfantheheroman still have Fear Friday on AMC but that use to be good and im starting to think its fading away,which use to be good with a double dose but i thinks its been dumbed down to one movie,
@cheapcape people love reality, also i take back what i said about FEAR FEST. This year was pretty good alot of movies were making there AMC debut including a few romero and flight of the living dead also it was hosted by the deadfather himself. Anyways one that kinda stood out and loved their promo for their channel was FEARNet looking at their lineup they show alot of Hollywood,Old School and Indie horror like the indie zombie flick Undead or three of the Phantasm movies.
thank god for the retrotv channel on directv

Back when TV was fun, when networks actually made an effort and created spirit for their marathons and specials. Now, it's all rerun dramas.

Actually Ted Turner resigned from the board of Time Warner in 2000, I believe.
Time Warner is responsible for turning TNT into a boring repository of drama reruns, much like NBC Universal has ruined USA Network and SCI FI.

@RavenRX Well, I guess that might be true. Still, it sucks that it's so hard to find good monster movies on TV period.
