Tuesday May 3rd, 10.40pm – A Good Woman is Hard to Find (2019)

She Never Died

 

Saturday May 7th, 9pm – She Never Died (2019)

Sort-of sequel to the Henry Rollins-starrer He Never Died, this one focuses on Olunike Adeliyi, who has the same issues as Rollins’ character. She’s a recluse who has a taste for human flesh.

 

mummy's hand

 

Sunday May 8th, 9pm – 11.50pm The Vintage Vault

Horror Channel is celebrating the Golden Age of genre cinema with a season of double bills. First up tonight is The Mummy’s Hand (1940), which stars Tom Tyler as the resurrected Kharis, guarded by horror legend George Zucco. This is followed by Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), the first of the Universal Monster team-ups. Lon Chaney Jr once again plays his signature hairy character, while Bela Lugosi is under the Frankenstein monster makeup.
