Things are getting brighter outside but there are still plenty of darker things to watch on Horror Channel each week. Here are some of our favourites this week:
Tuesday March 16th, 3pm – Special Unit 2: The Grain
The second season of Evan Katz’s cult series in which a secret police department hunt mythological creatures. In this episode, one of the characters being taken over by a ‘sandman’, which lets her act out her wildest fantasies while asleep.
Wednesday March 17th, 12.40am Night of the Creeps (1986)
“Good news, girls! You’re dates are here. The bad news is they’re dead.” The classic line from cop Tom Atkins sets the tone for this fun schlocky horror from director Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad).
Thursday March 18th, 10.55pm – Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)
Another delve into the dark world of the Cenobites. Doug Bradley is back as Pinhead as well as his earlier self, a World War I soldier, Captain Elliot Spencer. Deep Space Nine’s Terry Farrell also stars.
Saturday March 20th, 6.40pm – Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)
Another fantastic adventure with the legendary Sinbad, played here by Patrick Wayne. Former Doctor Who Patrick Troughton and Jane Seymour also appear, but the real star is the brilliant stop-motion effects by Ray Harryhausen.
Saturday March 21st, 10.55pm – Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005)
The third (and final) entry into the Urban Legend series takes a supernatural approach rather than relying on the slasher tropes. Directed by Mary Lambert and starring Kate Mara (House of Cards), it’s guaranteed to give you some chills!
