Posted on Wednesday 21st March 2018 Remakes, love them or hate them if there's money to be made they'll always be with us. Hollywood loves to look back at past glories and try and wring some more blood out of a well rung stone.

The original Poltergeist movie from 1982 was a tour-de-farce of effects and atmosphere. Directed by Tobe Hooper with Steven Spielberg as writer and producer, it took the paranormal into new territory. Forward to 2015 and Gil Kenan is given the task of resurrecting the story. P...

Don't forget to catch Horror's Season of the Wolf, Saturdays at 10.55pm? The Wolf Man (1941) Though not Universal's first werewolf movie, that was Werewolf of London in 1936, this was the biggie.

Posted on Friday 2nd February 2018 Of all the horror genres out there, probably the Werewolf genre has made the largest footprint on the charts.

In celebration of Horror's Season of the Wolf, here's our top 5 favourites from the last few decades. No list worth its fur would start without Werewolves of London from Warren Zevon.
