This Halloween, Channel 19 Turns Into “Channel Night Scream”
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
It’s no trick. For the fourth year in a row, Pennsauken residents tuning into Channel 19 will be treated to a wide variety of horror movies, from cult favorites to extreme camp.
This Halloween, Pennsauken Television will present “Channel Night Scream,” a day-long horror movie marathon, airing several horror movies available from the public domain. Viewers can watch silent classics such as “Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde,” featuring John Barrymore; cult horror gem “The Brain That Wouldn’t Die;” and “Attack of the Giant Leeches,” a film that “sucks” on many levels. The programming culminates with George A. Romero’s zombie masterpiece, “Night of the Living Dead.”
For a schedule of the upcoming horror flicks, be sure to visit Pennsauken Television online at PennsaukenTV.com as well as Facebook.com/PennsaukenTV.
Channel 19 Holds “Scary Bad” Contest In October
“Scary Bad Movies,” Channel 19’s newest program, is holding a Halloween-themed contest to attract more viewers.
The show, in homage to programs such as “Saturday Night Dead” and “Svengoolie,” features public domain horror films and also highlights local community events.
“The program is designed to attract new, younger viewers to Channel 19 that currently aren’t watching,” explains Ryan Wachter, township director of Pennsauken Television. “We hope that while people are channel surfing, the show catches their eye and they’ll stop to watch. We also feature community events during the program, so it’s another vehicle to inform residents who aren’t apt to watch Channel 19 on a regular basis.”
Beginning on Friday, Sept. 30, “Scary Bad Movies” will air a different “secret word” during some part of the program. After Sunday, Oct. 23, residents can e-mail their answers to ScaryBadContest@gmail.com. A winner will be picked at random to win a $25 Wawa gift card.
“Scary Bad Movies” airs a new episode each Friday night on Channel 19 at 7:00 p.m. The episode is then rerun on Sunday night, again at 7:00 p.m. For more information, visit Pennsauken Television on Facebook.
