Remember the good ole days when you could always enjoy some good "B" movie action and cult classics on Friday & Saturday night on the USA network? USA Up all night was the greatest with hosts Rhonda Shear on Fridays and Gilbert Gottfried Saturdays. They used to show quite a few Friday the 13ths and just about every "B" movie ever made.
A few of my favorites:
1. Chopper Chicks from Zombietown
2. Sorority Girls and the Creature from Hell.
3. Vice Academy (and all the sequels)
4. H.O.T.S.
5. The Bikini Carwash Company
6. Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers
7. Stewardess School
8. Eat and Run
9. Summer Camp
10. Reform School Girls
What are some of your favorites?

I remember seeing Chopping Mall on USA up all night. It was titled Killbots and had several extended scenes. Other than that I can't really remember what movies I saw on it besides Alien. I never used to stay up that late as a kid.

Man, I miss USA Up All Night almost as much as I miss MonsterVision. I distinctly remember seeing the Toxic Avenger movies for the very first time on Up All Night, and if it weren't for the show, I doubt I'd have even heard of them at all prior to getting the Internet. Good times, good times.

USA Up All Night also aired the totally uncut version of "The Howling II: Stirba, Werewolf Bitch" (hosted by Gilbert no less). The current DVD is missing the original title and just a tad bit of the "back home" ending.
Wish I was paying more attention back then.

I used to love that show too for all the Horror films it would show. A lot of them I had never heard of at that time. I'd watch them there, and then go rent the video.
I think I still have some of the old F13ths and Nightmares that I taped off USA Up All Night in a box somewhere. lol

I used to love to watch USA Up All Night. I used to wait all week just to watch what was on Friday and Saturday.
Take care and God bless.

Life just isn't the same without USA Up All Night (Or Cartoon Express for that matter, USA ruled back then.)
Up the Creek, Hot Dog: The Movie and all the titles mentioned above were a dream, even if they weren't the best of movies. Just give me a time machine and let me relive a week in the 80's/early 90's.

I miss all of those programming blocks so badly. I have very fond memories of watching UAN and Cartoon Express, and USA hasn't been the same ever since getting rid of both of them.

Wouldn't it have been easier just to check the TV Guides? ;)

Up All Night and Monstervision were two things I highly looked forward to. There's nothing like that anymore which I wish there was. At least I would have something to look forward to.

I loved USA Up All Night. It had alot of kick ass 80's/early 90's movies.
Also Monstervision was great too. They never should had cancelled Up All Night or Monstervision!

I heard Joe Bob Briggs makes a lot of Horror convention appearances. I always thought he was a funny guy.

I loved Chopper Chicks From Zombietown, however I have a special place in my heart for Reform School Girls. Wendy O. Williams was raw!!! :box:
They should bring 'Up All Night' back. I'm not really feeling this whole 'characters welcome' slogan from USA.

I just bought a used VHS Tape of "Sorority Girls and the Creature from Hell" off Amazon.com for about 30 bucks. It's a rare find, but I love that movie so much because it's so corny.

What happened to shows like these? No love for Horror these day's. Why is there not a Horror channel? In this day, and age. Sci Fi channel sucks imo.
Anyone remember that awesome USA original movie Buried Alive? Late 80's, early 90's. USA kind of dropped horror(do they still even make original movies?).

Or people have work, families, or other important things to do?
I watched Up All Night as a kid and loved it. I'd be more excited for its return if I had cable. But woo! *twirls finger*

Rhonda Sheer apparently has confirmed this (http://twitter.com/#!/RhondaShear/status/143875799198601217).

Won't be the same if it's not USA. Of course, it'll still be cool, I'm sure.
USA used to be so awesome back in the day. I remember yeaaaaaaars ago... when I was like 9 or 10, they would play old re-runs of Ultraman on USA really late at night.
Told a guy at work that they're bringing this show back with Rhonda Sheer and his response "That can't look good. A lot of the tread had already come off the tires when I was 10." :lmao:

They also had a knack for constantly showing some of the NOES movies...in the afternoon...on a Saturday.:)
