Best Channel For Classic Horror Movies

[Drained_Insane]

Believe it or not, it's the Independent Film Channel. It fucking rocks!! So far I've seen the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Inferno, Suspiria,and Re-Animator. Also, it shows awesome documentaries like the one about Dario Argento and horror movie directors. I never knew it was such a cool channel, I'm really not into Indie films at all. If you dont have it, get it, you will be pleased.

By "Classic Horror" I thought you were referring to "Frankenstein" and "The Creature from the Black Lagoon." For those, I'd have to say A&E, or the Sci-Fi Channel after 11 pm, Pacific.

If IFC shows as many of those flicks as you say, though(widescreen, hopefully), I gots ta gets it! /ubb/smile.gif

Turner Classic Movies and American Movie Classic always plays all the "classic, classic" horror movies. It's cool to see these channels playing great horror movies.

If "classic" horror films equal the likes of the Universal monsters, Hitchcock and Hammer, then American Movie Classics is your channel of terror!

Try Turner Classic Movies (especially around Halloween). When it was about Halloween time, I tuned in and caught the originals of The Haunting and House on Haunted Hill. Good shit, I gotta say.

Drained_Insane, I believe IFC is having some kind of Cult movie marathon. This is the most horror I've ever seen from them. I think it is temporary. Have you noticed this as a regular pattern?... I would love to be wrong on this one.


There is the regular Universal Horror on AMC, friday, 10PM est.

The SCI-FI channel is a worthy runner-up, featuring slasher classics such as HALLOWEEN I & II, PROM NIGHT and the CHILD'S PLAY series.

Comedy Central.

Yeah, too bad everything on the Sci-Fi channel is all cut up...
I just recorded TCM from the IFC, and I've also seen many other great movies on that channel. They won't play any of the slasher movies I haven't seen that I want to, just the really good "sophisticated" horror movies.

Dawn Of The Dead
