NYX UK

This December, horror fans are in for a festive fright fest as NYX UK unwraps its spine-tingling "12 Slays of Christmas" movie marathon. Starting December 14 and running nightly through Christmas Day at 9 PM, this event delivers a unique blend of holiday cheer and chilling scares. With a mix of classic horrors and modern nightmares, it’s a twisted way to celebrate the season.


A Fright-Filled Countdown to Christmas

The "12 Slays of Christmas" lineup is a devilishly diverse collection of horror films, featuring everything from psychological suspense to over-the-top slasher flicks. Each night showcases a standalone story, building up to the grand finale on Christmas Day with the cult classic Black Christmas (1974). Highlights include the infamous Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) and its wild sequel, Santa’s Slay (2005), as well as the eccentric sci-fi oddity Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964). For vintage horror fans, A Christmas Carol starring Vincent Price (1949) brings an eerie twist to the timeless tale.


Expanded December Horrors

NYX UK isn’t stopping at the 12-night marathon. Throughout December, the channel is rolling out even more terror-filled programming. Horror buffs can enjoy eight channel premieres, including Death on Scenic Drive on December 3 and the unsettling indie hit Be My Cat on December 29. Plus, fans of supernatural storytelling can catch The Wicked!, an animated series airing every Monday and Friday at 4 PM.


Festive Terror into the New Year

The chills continue through New Year’s Eve with a thrilling double feature. Kick off the night at 9 PM with Demons 2 by Lamberto Bava, followed by the Jamie Lee Curtis classic Terror Train at 11 PM. It’s the perfect way for horror lovers to welcome 2024 in spooky style.

NYX UK is making the experience even more interactive with live tweet-alongs. Fans can join the conversation on Twitter (@nyxtvuk) during Santa’s Slay on December 17 and Silent Night, Deadly Night on December 22 to share reactions, theories, and holiday horror vibes.

Tim Curran is an American author of horror fiction. His works include the novels Skin Medicine, Hive, Dead Sea, Resurrection, Skull Moon, The Devil Next Door, and Biohazard. His most recent books have been The Spawning, the short story collections Bone Marrow Stew and Zombie Pulp, and the novellas "1867: The Skulleater Campaign", "The Corpse King", and "Fear Me" When did you first become interested in writing? Oh, probably when I was 12 or 13. Up until that point my exposure to horror fiction came in the form of movies, TV, and horror comics. It was then I started ordering horror books from the back pages of Creepy and Eerie magazine.

I fell in love with horror fiction then. Before that I read a lot of science fiction, particularly H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimo...

Interview With Franka Potente - (‘Charlotte Brown’ / ‘Anne Frank’) - American Horror Story: Asylum

Q:  You get to be something that most actors don't get to be.  You're a bomb of a character.  How would you fit in?  How will you upset the universe? A: I come in there because I am a housewife and I beat up two men in a bar.  I claim to be Anne Frank, which millions and millions of schoolchildren have read the book, we all assume is dead but do we really know.  I seem to have proof that what I say is true.  So at first nobody believes me but the more proof I bring the more people are investigating if what I say is true.  Not only that, there's somebody in there who works in this time that I seem to recognize from Auschwitz concentration camp.  So I'm pointing fingers at people too. Q: How will this affect the characters running the asylum? A: You definitely will but that is already set in motion isn't it?  Like you know, there's not going to be the moment where you're like oh my God, I thought this person was good.  I don't know if...
