TRAILERS FROM HELL
Starring: Kirk Douglas, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Alfred Hitchcock, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, David Bowie, Peter Sellers
The brainchild of Hollywood director Joe Dante (Gremlins, InnerSpace), Trailers From Hell showcases an eclectic collection of vintage movie trailers.
Trailers featured include Psycho in which Alfred Hitchcock takes the audience on a riotous tour of the Bates Motel, sci-fi classic The War of the Worlds based on the novel by H.G. Wells, and the George Romero fright fest Night of the Living Dead, the film that reinvented our notions of zombie horror.
Often more entertaining than the movies they promote, these cleverly conceived trailers cram the essence of their feature length big brothers to stand on their own as entertaining short movies.
EVERY MONDAY (11pm)
THE GOD & DEVIL SHOW
Forget Ross/Wogan, Letterman/Leno, The God & Devil Show is unlike any talk show you’ve ever seen.
From the makers of Happy Tree Friends comes animated chat presented by God and Devil, as they decide whether to send their celebrity guests to heaven or hell.
Featuring stars such as Britney Spears, The Clintons, Kurt Cobain and Tom Hanks, these entertaining animated shorts are guaranteed to have you in knots.
