Fourth Castle Micromedia’s The Monster Channel, the only 24/7 interactive channel for horror fans, signed a deal to stream over a dozen feature titles in 2012 from the various video labels of Camp Motion Pictures.
The first seven titles will run as part of The Monster Channel’s weekly spotlight show, “Lunchmeat VHS Rewind Theatre”, a series created for the growing fanbase of retro VHS cult aficionados. They were selected from Camp Motion Pictures’ collection of now-classic late-80s SOV (“shot on video”) horror films, and include:
- Video Violence (1987)
- Video Violence 2 (1987)
- Cannibal Campout (1988)
- Woodchipper Massacre (1988)
- Splatter Farm (1987)
- Beauty Queen Butcher (1990)
- Ghoul School (1990)
Nine more horror titles will be featured as part of The Monster Channel’s nighttime programming and include:
- Brett Piper’s monster films Shock-O-Rama (2005)
- Bite Me! (2004)
- Screaming Dead (2003)
- Bacterium (2006)
- Suburban Nightmare (2004)
- Red River (2011)
- Splatter Disco (2007)
- Splatter Beach (2007)
- Skin Crawl (2007)
The films will be streamed as “scheduled programming”, not on-demand. “Our channel has become a gathering destination for hardcore horror fans,” said Joe Sena, President of Fourth Castle Micromedia. “Whenever we stream a film or broadcast a live event, the embedded chatroom is crowded with people all looking to share the experience with other fans around the world. In an era where ‘appointment television’ is considered dead, we seem to have brought it back from the grave.”
