We had something similar in Australia when I was growing up. The first I remember was "Ten's Bloody Movie" which aired on Channel 10 I think on a Friday night. They used to play a lot of Hammer/Amicus etc movies. This was probably in the late 70's?
Anyway, that ended, and later Channel 7 had "Creature Feature" which mainly played older films such as the Universal monster films. I think these would have started in the late 70's or early 80's.
I remember anxiously waiting each week for the TV Guide to see what horror film would be on in the coming week. Initially, I had to stay up late to watch them, but once VCRs came along there was no excuse to miss a movie.
These are certainly very fond memories of my childhood also.
