Origin

On January 12, 2007, NBCUniversal announced its intent to launch Chiller on March 1, dedicated to films and television shows related to the horror genre. The company also stated that, aside from content in their own vaults, Chiller would feature content from competing film studios, including Lionsgate, Sony, Warner Bros., and 20th Century Fox.[1]

In February 2007, The 101, channel 101 on DirecTV, aired a "preview" of Chiller, featuring the pilot episodes of Twin Peaks and American Gothic, as well as various horror movies and programs.[2] Sleuth, NBCUniversal's mystery-themed network, aired a fourteen-hour movie marathon entitled "Chiller On Sleuth" to promote the launch of Chiller.[3]

The channel officially launched at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time on March 1. A brief introduction video to the channel, Chiller aired an episode of The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
