Halloween films being shown on the BBC - IDIOTIC scheduling!

[DJ Chocolate]

Tonight, Halloween Resurrection is on BBC1 where..

Spoiler

Laurie Strode dies

The original film is being shown at half 11 on BBC4 on 31st Oct

 

[sporty princess]

At least they're putting the original on! I was looking through the schedule earlier and all I could find was tonight's 2 Halloween films - Halloween Resurrection & Halloween 2 (2009) and I thought "WTF, they're playing the worst two Halloween films that were made".

 

[robm425]

I'm just annoyed the original has been shunted on BBC4 in a poor slot. One of the best horror films ever made.

 

[girlfuckedup]

The idiotic scheduling doesn't stop there

Halloween 4 Sun 31st 1.15am BBC2
Halloween 5 Mon 1st 12.55am BBC2

 

[Think Again]

I'd seen 4 and 5 were on at some point but couldn't get the listings. It's effed!

 

[CZAR LOGAN THE GREAT]

Edited - thought the scheduling might be to do with the BBC4 horror season but I think that is over.

 

[Itachi587 (Bud)]

Is Halloween 3 on,,its the best one,,i enjoy it anyway

 

[Hey Diddle Diddle!]

I know, I don't understand it either. Maybe they think the newer film with the kung-fu, hip-hop gangsta popper is more appealing to da youth dem and stuck in a prime slot; whilst the original masterpiece is shunted in fear that it won't hold as much appeal?

No idea!

 

[N2k]

Afraid not.I know the last 2 years BBC have shown Halloween II(1981) & last year BBC showed Halloween 3.

Season of the Witch...

"8 more days 'tll halloween, halloween, halloween
8 more days 'til halloween, Silver Shamrock"

??

I have no idea, I don't think so though. I don't think I've ever seen that Halloween on TV before to be honest.

 

[fastman]

yes i recorded it then, but for some reason i deleted ..


yeah thats the one lol

 

[abhilash]

Fortunately all the Halloween movies have been available at various times for peanuts on dvd so I've bought them all over the years.
Halloween on Bluray is under

 

[EJ THE EXPERT PC GAMER!]

It's a good horror in its own right, the bit where they schedule a "test" with the masks and the lad's head is vaporised and turned into creepy crawlies!

I've seen it on cable, but not terrestrial channels.

 

[Gooser]

Doesn't the majority have BBC4 now(or am I wrong)? I don't see what there is to get so worked up about. The terrible Resurrection is on a day that doesn't matter, the original film is on a day that matters, Halloween.

 

[Adasdasd]

Sure, but regardless of what is being broadcast, digital channels receive a much lower audience share.

My point is, the film being shown tonight 'Resurrection', spoils the original film entirely if someone were to watch them in the order they're being broadcast. Maybe I'm a tad touchy on this subject, I just think it's a great film and the scheduling sucks donkey balls.

 

[Dulcina Jinx]

If people want to watch Halloween, they are going to watch it whatever channel it's on if they have them.

 

[poisonkisses4me]

A good number of people would look in their Sun telly guide or whatever and not look past the 5 main channels.

 

[Rachel Smith]

And that's a bad thing? The Sun... Zzzzzzzz.

 

[LittleStarWizard]

Conceded. *Applause*

 

[Shelby T]

yeah im watching resurrection atm. i didn't think it was that bad a film but understand why people hated it. i think that the original Halloween should be given the pimpslot on bbc1 ! and in hd !. it is the most epic film of all time.
