24-Hour Horror On Your TV By Next Halloween?
|
There are entire cable stations devoted to sports, comedy, news, and shopping, so why not horror? This is a question fans of scary movies have asked countless times as they vainly search for a frightening flick on a Friday night.
"Why not horror?" is a question entrepreneurs Nick Psaltos and Kim Bangash asked themselves before they set out to create the Horror Channel. They've started out by recruiting genre legends Wes Craven, John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper to the Horror Channel board of directors.
The Horror Channel has already bought up the cable rights to 13 movies by Italian frightmeister Mario Bava. In addition to a lineup of classic and modern horror movies, the channel plans to feature original programming in the form of horror series, mini-series, and feature films by the top directors in the genre.
When will the new network be a reality? If all goes well, the creators plan to debut the Horror Channel on Halloween night 2004. Mark your calendars!

| This is the best idea that should have already happened. If I had any say in this, the channel would have aired years ago and I'd be a millionaire by now. They are supposed to show the films commercial free and uncut. How cool is that? I hope they get the rights to run Tales from the Crypt. | |

| There is a horror channel already out. Its called the Scream Network. If you have satalite or digital, you can get it. It has movies, mini-series. Days were it will be Freddy all day(all the Nightmare on elm street movies played back to back) with interviews with the cast and directors etc. Its a pretty good channel!! | |
