A twisted tale of cannibalism set in a British rural hunting village, Elfie Hopkins stars Jaime Winstone as wannabe detective Elfie Hopkins, whose life changes when a mysterious family moves into her sleepy neighbourhood. Elfie’s appetite for gumshoe excitement is soon matched by the strange and exotic appetites of the sinister Gammons.

On Sunday May 26th Horror Channel celebrates 100 years of the birth of one of the country's most beloved actors - Peter Cushing (OBE).

Peter Cushing Centenary Day will be devoted to some of the legendary actor's finest work, picked from a film and TV career which spanned 50 years and over 80 films.

Born on 26 May 1913, Cushing's career took off in the 50s and he is probably best known for his roles for Hammer Films – in particular the sinister scientist Baron Frankenstein and the vampire hunter Dr. Van Helsing.

But to younger generations he is also fondly remembered for his portrayal of Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars and for his many appearances as Sherlock Holmes.
