We have some more great picks from what’s on this week on Horror Channel….

Wednesday March 30th, 9pm – The Midnight Man (2016)

Lin Shaye and Robert Englund feature in this creepypasta-like movie in which a creature appears when a group of friends play a game they found. Their most terrible fears are used against them… Directed by Travis Zariwny.

Thursday March 31st, 11pm Tales That Witness Madness (1973)

A glorious portmanteau with an all-star cast including Donald Pleasence, Kim Novak, and Joan Collins. The director was renowned cinematographer Freddie Francis, and although it might look like it, it’s not from Amicus, the masters of the anthology.

Friday April 1st, 12.40pm – Radius (2017)

With an intriguing premise – anyone who gets within 50 feet of the protagonist dies – this mystery-horror is well worth staying up for.

Saturday April 2nd, 9pm – The Butterfly Room (2012)

Superb indie film with horror legend Barbara Steele (Black Sunday) in which she plays a woman whose obsession with butterfly collecting gets into dark areas. Also starring genre favourites Heather Langenkamp, Ray Wise, Camille Keaton, P.J. Soles, Adrienne King, and James Karen.

Sunday April 3rd, 3pm – 8.30pm – Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune (2003)

Based on the hit novel, this miniseries might not have the budget of the recent blockbuster but Alec Newman, James McAvoy, and Alice Krige make it more than worth your time.

Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 69, Freesat 138.
