Friday August 5th, 9pm – Christine (1983)

A possessed 1958 Plymouth Fury is the focus of this John Carpenter film based on a Stephen King story. Followed by another King adaptation, Sleepwalkers (1992)

 

 

Saturday August 6th, 10am – 3pm – Special Unit 2

Here’s a chance to catch up with the sci-fi comedy series as all of this week’s episodes are shown back-to-back. Kicking off with the first episode, in which the department begins their quest for ‘links’, monsters from folklore and mythology.

 

 

Sunday August 7th, 9pm – 12.55am The Vintage Vault

Legend continues to celebrate the Golden Age of genre cinema with a season of double bills. This week, George C.
