Before it became the “Law & Order” channel, the USA Network was once a place where you could find some of the most unique entertainment programming on cable television. Whether it was low-budget drama, series adaptations of eighties sex comedies, or cult animation, USA Network defied viewer expectations. “Up All Night” was a colorful, and raunchy, show that hosted some of the most obscure and trashy genre films of all time, all the while the hosts generally visited odd attractions around Hollywood, and fell in to odd scenarios for the audience.
Whether or not you liked the hosts was up to you, but “Up all Night” reveled in being a late night novelty that appealed to anyone that appreciated a good laugh or two with their films. The weekly series garnered a shockingly eclectic library of movies that were video store fodder back in their day. Taken out of the context of its time, “Up All Night” showed films that, to this day, have never been on DVD or Blu-ray. It aired so many really good and unusual movies that ranged from horror, science fiction and schlocky monster pictures to comedies and trashy exploitation.
