"It's Alive!" is a wonderful television show run on WBGN-TV in Pittsburgh, PA. In the grand tradition of "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark", "Bartelby" or "Chiller Theatre", this show presents B horror movies interspersed with skits from a running caste of characters - Professor Emcee Square, Pointy the Devil, Fritz the Hunchback, Stiffy the Dead Clown, Heather the Mummy, The Whispering Nantucket, Hellga Scheidenentzündung, Mother, Urnie, and Cyst with Teeth and Hair.
You get the idea.
What raises this show above the others is the genuine talent of all involved. All of these characters are members of "Deathmobile", a pretty good rock band. So you get some darn good rock music! Also, frankly, the skits (tied into the movie) are very very very good.
This show is building momentum in this area, thanks to a web site that draws in loyal viewers. Look for "It's Alive!" to take off, not unlike "Mystery Science Theatre".
You can catch it Saturday nights at 10:00. Anyone in the Southwestern Pennsylvania - Eastern Ohio - Northern WV area should be able to see it by cable or satellite dish. Believe me, it will be worth it to find it - and watch it - and get sucked into it.
