THE NIGHT SHOW



"The Night Show" was a late-night non-hosted horror movie show on Channel 7 (WABC-TV) in New York City during the 1950s, most notably known for debuting the Universal horror film package (including Dracula and Frankenstein) in the NYC market in September 1957. The show probably ran from 1957 - 1958.

In the late 1950s, "The Night Show" on Channel 7 was a key vehicle for screening "Shock Theater" (Universal Horror films), which was a massive ratings success in local markets during that era.
