BBC2 Horror Double Bill

If enough people bothered to do the same, I honestly think it would make a difference!!!

Seriously! Go on, give it a go and email the BBC today! :D
 
I've never seen Jessica but I bought it on R1 quite a while back and not got round to it yet



Thanks to R1 and R2 I have all but 3 of those although The Night Caller is from BBC


Been after RAB for many years.
Its not been on tv since the 80's I don't think



I think you must be confused.
I always go for uncut too , not sure I said anything different.

The Vipco VOH was available for many years before the US double bill came out so the Vipco disc was the only option to get VOH uncut along with the BBC broadcast of TFTC.

Once the double bill came out I got that but retained the Vipco of VOH as it was uncut.

Shortly after Film 4 first aired VOH uncut I was able to sell both my Vipco discs for more than
 
I agree with Cyberschizoid. The old horrors are foldly remembered by us "olRABters" (not that old actually) and would be watched again by us but also by the curious kiRAB who may well have heard about Hammer, Amicus and Vincent Price and his delightful horrors while hardly seeing them. BBC Two could have two generations watching rather than one.
 
don't remember that one but I too have got the Thriller series on DVD. Such a blast from the past. That music still creeps me out even today - my mum let me watch Thriller when I was only about 7 years old:eek:
 
I'd love to see a double bill return, I'm old enough to remember when they started in the late 70's, the day my Dad let me stay up to see the second movie of the night, THE HAMMER MOVIE RAB!! was like all my christmas' in one night!!!
 
Heya buddy

Finally a familiar face on here! I see the campaign is in full swing. I hope they bring back horror, it's so shortsighted of the Beeb to overlook it when it's at its most popular in decades.
 
Oh wow! I totally remember Horror Express. I thought it was quite gory and really really scary!!! Wasn't Telly Savalas (Kojak) in it?

It was kind of zombies-on-a-train meets Retro-X-Files!!
 
I saw The Monster Club on the Friday night BBC Dr Terror season in about 94 or 95, the strip scene left me genuinely :eek: ! Not because it was well executed or anything, far from it, it was just so audacious.

One of the episodes in it was genuinely :eek: :eek: :eek: - I can't remember what it was called, it was the one about the town shrouded in mist in which hooded zombies eventually cropped up.
 
See 'Dana Gillespie' ... I think these are the boobs in question. She was also the original Mary Magadalene in the staged 'Jesus Christ Superstar'.
 
Already coverered earlier in the thread - they are releasing a Blu too.

The Shuttered Room is on a Warner dvd double bill on R1 with IT!

Hammer rarity also out on R1 is the Stefanie Powers thriller Crescendo- lovely print too
 
So it was possibly the long version but shown after the badly cut theatrical version.

The problem with the long version is that classic Goblin music is absent aswell and some of the scenes do over stay their welcome.

The real Directors Cut is much tighly edited , has all the correct music and is a real classic .

I found the long version a bit of a yawn as I was so familiar with the original version.

The Argento cut is equally awful and I was expecting that to be much better
 
I have to say I keep missing a lot of these late-night horror movie airings that have been mentioned on this thread.

I think a lot of them seem to be aired so late that without any means to tape them I'm just going to keep missing out!

All the more reason to bring back BBC2's Horror Double Bills in a decent Saturday evening timeslot!

I love the classic horrors. They've got the 'sitting nice and cosy on the couch' feel to them. The horrors of today are too brutal and focus too much on trying to shock the viewer with it's gore, whereas the classics, they have a kind of innocence to them.
