MOVIE 18
(aka LATE MOVIE 18)

"Movie 18" was a non-hosted horror and science fiction movie show on Channel 18, Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; running from 1985 until 1991. WVTV still had most of its old horror films, including those from the venerable Shock. and Son of Shock. packages. It brought them back on 30 November 1985. First these were a single feature, but the show was switched to a double feature for a year, before again being switched back to a single. For about 18 months the horror films were in rotation with martial arts movies. During this time, WVTV acquired several other film packages, including most of the Hammer films, not previously seen in Milwaukee. (The last film from the venerable old Shock. and Son of Shock. packages was shown on 13 August 1988 - almost 30 years after first being shown in Milwaukee!) It was again switched to a double feature for part of 1989, and then back to a single feature at midnight, before the station dropped horror films in May of 1990.
