The streamer is celebrating its 13th “anniver-scary” with this block of hosted genre flicks.
Tomorrow, April 1, from 8 p.m.-3 a.m. EST, The Monster Channel will present six independent creature features from prolific filmmaker Dustin William Ferguson. The titles are DEMON PREDATOR, THE CREEPS, BIG F*CKING SNAKE (accompanied by the short SPACE GOBLINS), BOOK OF CREATURES, BEYOND THE GATES OF HELL and ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS 5. Each one will be hosted by one of the channel’s roster of fright personalities: Juke Suha, Doc Dread, Roxsy Tyler, Halloween Jack, Octavian Hallow and Hack from HACK’S HORROR SHOW; there will also be shorts, trailers, retro TV commercials and weird channel IDs mixed in.
“It made sense to celebrate with a marathon since that’s how we started,” says Joe Sena, president of Monster Channel parent company Fourth Castle Micromedia. “We had a weekend-long streaming movie marathon with hosts at a convention in 2010, and it was so popular we kept the programming running. Thirteen years later, in 2023, we’re upgrading our entire Channel and producing several anniversary events–what better way to start the celebration than the way we started?”
