Free horror-centric streaming channel NYX UK celebrates the birthdays of two horror icons this April, among its awesome line-up.

April 1st is no joke as they honour the birth of the inimitable Lon Chaney, the ‘man of a thousand faces’, with two classic silent movies, The Unknown (1927) and The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923). On April 3rd, Italian director Lamberto Bava (son of the legendary Mario Bava) blows the candles out on his cake with screenings of Demons (1985)and Demons 2 (1986).

Also showing are the TV series Dark Rewind, which continues with host August Kyuss presenting channel premieres of Motel Hell (1980) and The House on Sorority Row (1983). Another series, Galvaston’s Cavern of Creeps premieres Jacques Tourneur’s brilliant Night of the Demon (1957) and The Brian That Wouldn’t Die (1962).

There are more channel premieres, including Frostbite (2006) and Hansel and Gretel Get Baked (2013). Other prime-time movies include Discopathe (2013), Wild Country (2005), Rabies (2010), Grimm Love (2007), and Dario Argento’s unmissable Tenebrae (1982).
