I do and some are no that bad, while others look like theve been made by college students with a budget of 50p.:D

I did enjoy watching scarecrow 1 & 2.
 
I think the channel is crap, not only because of the fairly rubbish selection of films that they show, but because of the muppets who seem to run it. They once advertised Hellraiser as being on at 9pm (my EPG said so too) but when it actually came to 9pm it was a totally different film, and no reason was given as to why. That was the last time i flicked onto that channel...
 
Oh yes it is! Complete waste of a channel, apart from the recent addition of The New(ish) Twilight Zone, most of its output is direct to video crap.
When the best movies they have are Rawhead Rex and Pervert! it's a sign something is amiss.:eek:
 
Now & again I flick on but mostly it is as stated low budget bad horrors like Ravings maniacs,crappy sequels i.e The Howling 5 or boring various TV series BUT it has shown a few good or watchable things.

Such as Hellraiser 1-3,Burnt Offerings,Tales From The Crypt series,Confessions of a serial killer (an underrated movie).
 
I always look at the listings but it doesn't look like there's anything worth watching. I did catch a film last week though "The clown at midnight". I think it was called.

Margot Kidder was the most high profile actress but it wasn't particularly scary.
 
ooooooo thats what makes them SO good though! We always have a flick onto zone horror, predict who will die (usually the slutty one first, then the jock), rip the piss out of the lighting and fall asleep before the end. I love zone horror.

*Nostalgia moment* I remember our video store, it had sweets, arcade games and floor to ceiling films, and you only saw the spines. It was filled with smoke and older teenagers and a very exciting place to go when you got off the bus after school. The best films were at eye level for about
 
Now and then you can actually find something half decent to watch on it, but not often.

Someone mentioned 'The Sitter' above, I remember that, it's donkeys old. I wouldn't put it as the worst film seen on there though. That is decent for the horror channel.
 
I have to say I thought I'd watch a fair amount of the horror channel when I got sky but have barely watched anything. as said earlier, there are too many low-budget shot-on-video horrors that wouldn't even get a dvd release over here.

Having said that, I did tape Hardware (1990 GB apocalyptic horror) the other day and god bless them for showing The Swamp Thing with the lovely Adrienne Barbeau !!
 
I only watch the older ones 80s/90s. I'm put off watching the 00s, because I think they will be rubbish because they seem low budget. I don't even watch Zone Horror that much, because of lack of high budget films.
