Reuters got the scoop that Comcast and Sony are going to launch a horror film based, on-demand network this Halloween. Sweet, right! Here are some of the specifics:
Movies for the yet-to-be named network, which will debut on Oct. 31 and expand Comcast’s programing lineup, come from more than a thousand horror titles in the Sony and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer libraries.
Starting with horror films was a “no-brainer” because of the “emotional connection” of such films, Diane Robina, president of Comcast’s emerging networks, said in an interview. “It’s about scaring the heck out of you,” Robina said.
About 40 hours of recent and classic movies, including “Night of the Living Dead,” “The Grudge” and “Resident Evil,” will be available per month at launch. About 70 hours will be made available in the future.
Clearly Christmas comes early this year for genre fans!
