I think it's time yet again for all us classic horror fans to rejoice as we score another publicity coup! BBC One's popular Sunday afternoon show "Points of View" ran a piece on classic horror film fans and BBC4's excellent "History of Horror" documentary series on Sunday 17th October. The great news is that our Classic Horror Campaign and petition was prominently featured and portrayed in a positive light. For the next few days, the BBC's interview with Cyberschizoid can be viewed on BBC iPlayer. 
We have also been featured in issue two of brand new UK horror publication "Shock Horror Magazine" and the widely distributed paranormal magazine "Haunted". Not only that, but the amount of blogs, websites and internet forums featuring the classic horror campaign is growing in leaps and bounds every single day!  Check out some of the links below -

Don't forget that BBC4 continues it's horror season over the next couple of weeks with "History of Horror" parts two and three as well as screenings of "Brides of Dracula" (1960), "The Quatermass Xperiment" (1955) and "Dawn of the Dead" (1978). 
Also please take the time to email the BBC to let them know how much you're enjoying their current horror season and tell them that you want to see more - much more! 

Looks like the BBC is finally listening to classic horror fans with BBC4's 3-part "History of Horror" series about to air. The documentary is fronted by "League of Gentlemen's" Mark Gatiss and episode one is being screened Monday October 11th at 9pm, with episodes two and three to follow at the same time on 18th and 25th October. Make sure you tune in!
As well as this excellent documentary, BBC4 are also screening some classic horror movies this month! First up is "The Bride of Frankenstein"(1935) which airs straight after episode one of History of Horror at 10pm.
Next is "Cat People" (1942) on October 13th at 10:45pm. A truly atmospheric exercise in suspense, this is still a genuinely frightening motion picture and if you've never seen it, make sure you watch this rare television screening!
"I Walked With a Zombie" (1943) is being shown at midnight on the 14th October so you may need copious amounts of coffee to stay up for this one!
And that's not all! On Monday 11th October, after the "Bride of Frankenstein" screening, there is a documentary called "Transylvania Babylon", which takes a humorous look at movie vampires!
So show your appreciation for these wonderful documentaries and classic movie screenings! The more people who watch these, the bigger chance we have of the BBC bringing back the Horror Double Bill as a regular Saturday night event! Spread the word and email the Beeb to let them know how much we appreciate their dedication to classic horror! Enjoy!

More fantastic news for our campaign to Bring Back BBC2's Horror Double Bills! Thanks to everyones hard work and support we have now achieved our target of 1000 signatures in our petition! This is an amazing achievement and we can now set our sights even higher - let's see if we can reach 2000!!! This will really make the BBC realise that we are all fed up with the lack of regular primetime horror programming on British television. Don't forget to keep sending those emails and letters to BBC Points of View and the Radio Times as well as heading to the BBC complaints website to make your feelings known.
More great news on the UK horror TV front! In October, BBC4 will be screening a three part documentary "History of Horror" fronted by Mark Gatiss. The first episode will cover Hollywood's Golden Age of horror of the 30's and 40's. Episode two concentrates on the reinvention of the horror film, with it's greater emphasis on sex and gore as exemplified by Britain's Hammer Films. Finally, the last episode looks at the gritty new wave of horror cinema which began with George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968. The documentary will be supported by various horror movie screenings which have yet to be anounced. The provisional airdates for "History of Horror" are Monday 11th, 18th and 25th October.
