Bring Classic Horror Back To Television Alliance
Published 31st Aug 2010 by Classic Horror Campaign

In a world where television has become so bland it is now impossible to find any of the classic old horror films being screened anywhere, even on the BBC. Back in the 70's and 80's BBC2 ran a popular season of Saturday night Horror Double Bills every summer, which was a showcase for all the best in classic horror as well as some more obscure cult movies. Kids and parents alike looked forward to these iconic screenings every weekend and many of today’s top horror writers, actors and producers have claimed to have been inspired by these Horror Double Bills.Our aim is to bring back these classic horror double bills to the BBC so that these iconic movie moments can be shared and appreciated by a whole new generation.

We are Brighton based but already the campaign is far reaching, being fronted by UK Scream Queen Emily Booth and currently supported by various celebrities including Jeremy Dyson, Andy Nyman (Ghost Stories), Reese Shearsmith (League of Gentlemen), actress Eileen Daly, best-selling author David Moody and Hammer Horror stalwarts Shane Briant and Caroline Munro.

Campaign members can follow us through our website, Facebook Page and Twitter and can show their support by signing our ever-growing petition. We aim to keep building awareness of our campaign through various magazines, film festivals and a series of events and classic horror film screenings starting in Brighton.
