The gripping and truly brutal Brit-shocker Cherry Tree Lane (pictured) is getting its UK television premiere on May 25th on the Horror Channel. We decided to catch up its Director, Paul Andrew Williams about this film and his future projects.

HC: Where did the idea for Cherry Tree Lane come from?

PAW: You would read things in the news about tragic events such as this. I always wondered what it would actually be like if it happened in reality. It wouldn't be like a film, there would t be any accompanying music, and tough cop looking out for you or a panic room. It would be horrible, quick and at times terrifying as times mundane. That's the story I wanted to tell.

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.
