NYX UK presents eight terrifying primetime channel premieres in September, headed up Larry Fessenden’s DEDRAVED (2019), his modern take of the Frankenstein story, which screens on Fri 27th Sept, 9pm. Independent horror doesn’t get better or more stylish than this very post-modern Prometheus.
There are also two unmissable documentaries – WOODLANDS DARK AND DAYS BEWITCHED (2021) (Thurs 26th Sept, 9pm), which explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings through its proliferation on British television in the 1970s and its culturally specific manifestations in American, Asian, Australian and European horror. Plus, on Thurs 19th Sept, 9pm, there is THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE SHOCKING TRUTH (2000), David Gregory’s compelling take on the making of the 1974 horror classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
From the producers behind Insidious comes another slice of twisted supernatural horror – MERCY BLACK (2019), which has its Channel premiere on Fri 20th Sept, 9pm. Another 2019 production, showing at 9pm on Tues 3rd Sept, is SHE NEVER DIED, a Canadian horror-comedy directed by Audrey Cummings, serving as a companion piece to the 2015 film He Never Died. Then on Thurs 12th Sept, 9pm is Bryan Norton and Jesse Baget’s gripping anthology ALL HALLOW’S EVE 2 (2015).
Other first-time showings include graphic horror THE CHAIR (2016), based on the comic book mini-series from Alterna Comics (Tues 10th Sept, 9pm), and Monte Light’s biting homage to Nosferatu, BLOOD COVERED CHOCOLATE (2022), which is broadcast on Thurs 5th Sept 5th, 9pm.
The channel also celebrates the birthday, on September 9, of Italy’s most celebrated horror film maker and the King of giallo, Dario Argento. There are presentations of two of his finest, most influential works, PHENOMENA (1985), at 9pm, followed at 11pm by DEEP RED (1975)
