Sunday May 18th, 9pm – 10.50pm The Vintage Vault
Horror Channel is celebrating the Golden Age of genre cinema with a season of double bills. This week we reach the fifties with the brilliant It Came from Outer Space (1953), in which aliens take over the bodies of local folk in a desert town. This is followed by Tarantula! (1955), where B-movie legend John Agar has to deal with a giant arachnid while a doctor (Leo G. Carroll – not over a barrel) contracts a bad case of acromegaly. Keep your eyes peeled for a young Clint Eastwood!
Tune into Horror Channel on Sky 317, Virgin 149, Freeview 69, Freesat 138.
