Horror channel NYX UK celebrates International Women’s Day and Cronenberg’s 82nd birthday amongst slate of March premieres
NYX UK celebrates International Women’s Day on Saturday March 8, 9pm, with a Channel premiere screening of Devanny Pinn’s THE BLACK MASS, which takes a harrowing deep dive into the 1978 sorority house attacks committed by serial killer Ted Bundy. Pinn creates a bold and unflinching examination of real-world horror from the POV of the victims.
This is supported by the UK TV premiere of Luna Wolf’s powerful short film SIREN, which follows at 10.45pm. The film explores themes of identity and trauma, immersing the audience in a psychological horror journey through the human psyche.
On Saturday March 15, NYX UK also celebrates the birthday of the master of body horror David Cronenberg. This special tribute features SHIVERS (9pm) and RABID (11pm), two of
his early films that helped define his signature style. Both films challenge conventional horror tropes by merging scientific advancements with nightmarish consequences, solidifying Cronenberg’s place as a visionary in the genre. His work remains as relevant and disturbing today as it was upon release.
Also celebrated, on Tues March 4, 9pm, is the 102nd birthday of NOSFERATU. This classic 1922 silent horror film, an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, has become an iconic symbol of early cinema and spawned several remakes, including an Oscar-nominated 2024 version directed by Robert Eggers
NYX welcomes a new cult horror series onto the channel: THE CHAINSAW SALLY SHOW, a blood-soaked, grindhouse cult web series that stars April Burril as the iconic Sally, a small-town librarian by day and a relentless, chainsaw-wielding vigilante by night. The first series of ten episodes will premiere on Fri March 7, 11.30pm.
Two other NYX UK horror series consolidate their popular runs. Thursday nights at 7pm sees the continuation of GALVASTON’S CAVERN OF CREEPS, hosted by snarky demon Galvaston. Season One continues with the Channel premieres of Jacques Tourneur’s NIGHT OF THE DEMON (1957) and Peter Weir’s directorial debut CARS THAT ATE PARIS (1974).
Then, on Tuesday nights at 9pm, we have the continuation of DARK REWIND, where August Kyss, a charismatic and quirky host, dives into classic 80s horror films from the comfort of her neon-lit bedroom. Season One continues with the Channel Premieres of tech-horror CHOPPING MALL (1986) and Canadian supernational slasher INCUBUS (1982).
There are six other Channel premieres this month, including Diego Cohen’s 2015 Mexican obsession horror HONEYMOON (Thurs March 20, 9pm) and psychological horror tale DREAD, adapted by writer/director Anthony DiBlasi from the Clive Barker novella in ‘Books of Blood Volume II’, which screens on Fri March 21, 9pm
Other devilish delights include 70s Gothic vampire favourite COUNT YORGA VAMPIRE (Mon March 3, 9pm), GNAW (Thurs March 6, 9pm), where Saw meets Hostel, THE BLOODY JUDGE, starring Christopher Lee (Mon March 10, 9pm), and indie vampire tale MIDNIGHT SON (Thurs March 13, 9pm).
