The new Horror Channel
To all my fellow horror fans out there.
The following article appears in Scifi wire on SciFI.com. They got their info from an article from Variety magazine. It was also discussed on the Howard Stern show this morning. Hopefully we will all be able to get this network soon.
Horror Channel In Works
Cable television entrepreneurs Nick Psaltos and Kim Bangash have enlisted directors Wes Craven, John Carpenter and Tobe Hooper to join the advisory board of the Horror Channel, a proposed network that aims to begin operation on Halloween night 2004, Variety reported. Psaltos and Bangash have made a few formal presentations to potential investors and cable operators. Horror Channel has scared up $750,000 so far, and it hopes to harvest $3 million from the venture-capital community within the next four months, the trade paper reported.
No cable operators have signed up for the Horror Channel yet. Bangash told the trade paper that the network has more than 1,000 U.S. horror movies to draw on for its round-the-clock schedule, as well as another 1,000-plus movies and TV series from abroad.

Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.

They have some outstanding talent on the advisory board and if TPTB heed the advice of those directors, the channel may head in a very high quality direction. Of course, the decisions of whoever is in charge of programming is going to make or break this endeavor. If they don't place value on quality, this could end up as a cheap, boring gorefest.
