Chillers was a television series that aired in 1990 and only lasted for one season. It was produced by Edgar J. Scherick Associates and was a horror anthology show. The concept of the show was one that was not new to television, but it was still highly entertaining for fans of the horror genre. Each episode was a standalone story that revolved around horror and suspense.

The show was hosted by Anthony Perkins, who was well known for his role as Norman Bates in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. He was the perfect host for the show, as he had a natural ability to draw viewers in with his unique charisma. Perkins' character would introduce each episode and then would disappear, leaving the audience with their own thoughts and fears.

The show's production value was not on par with some of the other horror anthology shows that were on television at the time, but this did not stop it from becoming a fan favorite. The low budget adds a charm to the show that is hard to replicate in modern-day television. Chillers was not only scary, but it was also fun to watch. It had a campy nature that made it easy to digest, and it was highly entertaining.

The show's stories were a mixture of old horror tropes that had been used before, but also included some fresh ideas that were unique to the show. The stories were well written and were able to keep the viewers on the edge of their seats. Some of the stories that stood out include "Mannequin," "Spectre," and "Touched by Satan." These stories are still remembered by fans of the show, and they are still talked about to this day.

One of the strengths of the show was the performances of the actors. The show was able to attract some well-known actors, including Adrienne Barbeau, Martin Sheen, and Carol Kane. These actors were able to bring their A-game to the show and really delivered some memorable performances.

Chillers was not without its flaws, however. The show was not consistent in terms of quality. Some episodes were better than others, and there were a few episodes that were forgettable. This inconsistency is typical of anthology shows, but it was more pronounced in Chillers.

Another issue with the show was its lack of marketing. The show was not widely promoted and was not given the attention it deserved. This lack of marketing meant that the show did not reach a wider audience, which is a shame as it was a fantastic show.

In conclusion, Chillers was a fun and scary horror anthology series that was ahead of its time. While it had its flaws, it was still highly entertaining and had some memorable stories and performances. It is a shame that the show did not receive the attention it deserved and only lasted for one season. However, it is still remembered fondly by horror fans and is worth watching for anyone who enjoys the genre.

Chillers is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on January 6, 1990.
