MONTREAL – Canadian horror fans will be able to scream along with a new HD specialty channel later this year when Terror TV makes its debut on Canadian television lineups.
Devoted entirely to the horror genre, programming will consist of mainstream horror content, feature films, MOW, direct-to-video titles, and classics from the '30s to today, including classics such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents to the more recent Kingdom Hospital. It will also include two new original shows, a 30-minute daily entertainment magazine show called What's Up? and Spasm Capsule which will show short films and interviews with the creators.
All feature films will be presented without commercial interruption, and negotiations are currently underway with Canadian TV service providers. Terror TV is planning to launch in August/September 2014 with a free preview period.
Terror TV is owned by Callisto Television Corp., which in turn is owned by a group of private Canadian investors and headed by president Sylvain Gagné.
"Our commitment to the viewers is to bring them the most diverse combination of horror titles from around the world and from a span of the last century," said Gagné, in the news release. “We want to deliver both the quality and the quantity of premier titles and classics to position Terror TV as Canada's number one TV destination for genre fans."
