    Just a line to say that BBC seem to have assembled a line-up of Brit horror films from the 60 and 70s. They screened an Amicus "portmentau" movie a few weeks ago and they have the classic Theatre of Blood with Vincent Price and Diana Rigg (plus a host a famous faces) on Sunday....
    FILM: Theatre of Blood Channel: BBC 1 Northern Ireland 105 Date: Monday 3rd May 2004 Time: 00:25 to 02:10 Duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes.

    An entertaining, tongue-in-cheek black comedy about the killing of eight top British theatre critics in a particularly hideous way. Each death parodies the demise of a character in a separate Shakespeare play, and the finger points at ham Shakespearian actor Edward Lionhart. But baffled police cannot comprehend the situation, for he committed suicide years ago. Director: Douglas Hickox (Subtitles, 1973, 3 Star)


    ...then Sunday week (may 9th) they're showing A Study In Terror one of the best Jack the Ripper film made.
    FILM: A Study in Terror
    Channel: BBC 1 Northern Ireland 105
    Date: Monday 10th May 2004
    Time: 00:35 to 02:10
    Duration: 1 hour and 35 minutes.

    Thriller in which Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes leads the manhunt for Jack the Ripper in the East End of the 1880s. Whitechapel is terrorised after the murder of three prostitutes, and Holmes is set on the trail of the killer when he receives a parcel of surgical instruments - with a scalpel missing.
    Director: James Hill
    Starring: John Neville, Donald Houston, John Fraser, Anthony Quayle, Robert Morley

    aye, Tales From The Crypt and didn't they show The House That Dripped Blood too?

    Asylum would be good to see again

    see The Horror Channel is showing some underrated British Horror (1970s) this month

    i.e.
    Revenge
    Assault
    The Shout
