RIP BILL CARDILLE 1928-2016

A true legend has died.

The man who hosted Chiller Theater, Studio Wrestling and appeared in the original Night Of The Living Dead has died.

Bill Cardille was and will always be a Pittsburgh icon. Being a child in the Pittsburgh area was a real treat for monster kids in the 60's 70's and 80's as "Chilly Billy" would bring some interesting films to his TV show.

Cardille was also friends with filmmaker George Romero who put him in the original "Night Of the Living Dead" as a reporter and as himself.

With his passing an era of innocence and fun has ended. This makes me very sad. A friend is gone and I really don't know what else to say.
