Saturday 15 May – Saturday 22 May is Supernatural Week on the Horror Channel and we bring news of just some of the highlights
You can read the full details on the Horror Channel: Paranormal forces take over Horror Channel in May, but before you rush away, we’ve picked a few of our favourites.
Car trouble
Sunday 16 May brings a must watch John Carpenter film based on a Stephen King story — yes, it’s Christine! Here’s the Horror Channel’s take:
Arnie Cunningham falls in love with “Christine”, a bright red 1958 Plymouth Fury which has seen much better days. Setting himself the task of restoring the car to its original condition, Arnie has become consumed with passion for the sleek, rounded, chrome-laden car. His friends are horrified but it’s too late — anyone seeking to come between them becomes the victim of Christine’s horrifying wrath…
If you only watch one thing in Supernatural Week and you’ve not seen it for a while, this is the one.
An experiment too far
Another classic film on Tuesday 18, Flatliners (1990), starring Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, William Baldwin, Oliver Platt, and Kevin Bacon. Here’s the IMDB take:
Five medical students experiment with near-death experiences, until the dark consequences of past tragedies begin to jeopardise their lives…
Teenage terrors
The week ends with a contemporary title: It Follows. Here’s the synopsis:
For 19-year-old Jay (Maika Monroe), the fall should be about school, relationships and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her teenage friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind…
There’s plenty else to choose from, but try not to watch on your own!
