There will be Horror Channel Hell this August and a treat for science fiction fans

According to the Horror Channel, August promises to be a wicked month for fans of horror and science fiction as well. If you want all the gory (and we mean gory) details, check out their blog. If you’re in a rush, we spotlight some highlights.

Don’t forget the science fiction bonus…

Science fiction fans are not overlooked, and from the 6th they can watch The 4400 (the series originally ran from 2004-2007 over four seaons). Here’s the series summary:

This classy sci-fi TV series revolves around the sudden reappearance of 4400 missing people. All were presumed dead or reported missing over several decades, and many return to their former lives on Earth – but with startling powers. Among those assigned to unravel their mystery is an earnest crime investigator whose nephew is one of the returned…
