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.

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