Bring Classic Horror Films Back To Television Campaign

Years ago, BBC2 would screen regular horror double bills on Saturday nights which featured cult movies from Universal, RKO, Hammer Films and beyond. This writer fondly remembers watching the likes of Cat People, The Pit and the Pendulum and Plague of the Zombies when he should have been fast asleep! My love of older horror movies can be traced back to my experiences watching these movies on the BBC as a youngster – indeed, watching the likes of the Corman/Poe cycle nowadays fills me with an unshakable air of nostalgia and joy, hard to describe to non-horror fans. It would be blissful to tune into double bills of classic horror movies on Saturday evenings during the summer months again.

As you may or may not be aware, a campaign has been set up by Richard Gladman (aka Cyberschizoid) to bring back these vintage horror double bills to the BBC. It has really been gathering momentum of late. If you would like to see these films back on the box, please follow the steps below, and with your help, let's see if we can relive those scary summer nights of late-night Horror Double Bills on British television! Please sign the petition! You can also Tweet about the campaign by copying and pasting the following text into a tweet: Join us and help us bring CLASSIC HORROR back to British TV. http://is.gd/aYLSB Pls RT thnx!
