  • Why does the Zone Horror channel play such cheap Horror movies?

    Posted by admin on February 12th, 2010 and filed under cheap movies | 3 Comments »

    Every time i sit down to watch a horror movie on Zone Horror, it turns out to be a waste of time, most of the movies look as if they are made by college students with a candid camera, only on occasions they play a half decent film, but then they are usually the ones that have been played to death on tv like HELLRAZER, or alike—when will we get a horror channel worth watching, and why do they play such drivel

    agree to an extent that the majority of the films look rediculously cheap and as if they have been shot by students, but i’ve unearthed perhaps a few low budget gems :)

      A lot of the terrible comes from the large number of films being shown thanks to The Asylum. It appears Zone Horror has purchased unlimited air rights to their complete catalog. So prepare to continue enjoying countless hours of great sounding, bad sound a-likes such as…

      Times are tough all around. With the former The Horror Channel playing this garbage and other far reaching networks such as Syfy showing the same bad movies and overplayed TV series, the tiny shared slice of an already small number of viewers continue to dwindle.

      Rather than do the paper work by spending money to employ those who are true fans of the genre it’s far easier to secure rights to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and hundreds of other pieces of content with a few contracts. As more and more viewers stop tuning in I can only imagine the downward spiral will to continue.

      Also, Zone Horror is becoming very well known for announcing the just-around-the-corner arrival of "new" content, then failing to deliver! Messing with horror fans like this is a great way to fail.

      So simply WHY?

      Because no one at Zone Horror with real decision making power cares about Horror and Horror Movies.
