NYX UK Celebrates Horror Icons and Rising Voices with a Killer March Lineup

NYX UK

NYX UK is set to deliver a thrilling month of horror this March, with a slate of premieres and special events that celebrate both genre legends and rising talents. Kicking things off on Saturday, 8 March at 9pm, the channel honours International Women’s Day with the premiere of Devanny Pinn’s "The Black Mass". This intense film delves into the 1978 sorority house attacks by serial killer Ted Bundy, offering a raw and unflinching portrayal of real-life horror from the victims' perspective. Following this, Luna Wolf’s short film "Siren" airs at 10.45pm, exploring identity and trauma through an atmospheric psychological horror lens.

On Saturday, 15 March, NYX UK pays tribute to body horror pioneer David Cronenberg on his 82nd birthday with screenings of his early classics "Shivers" (9pm) and "Rabid" (11pm). Both films helped shape Cronenberg’s unique style, blending science and terror in ways that still resonate today. Earlier in the month, on Tuesday, 4 March at 9pm, the channel marks the 102nd anniversary of "Nosferatu", the iconic 1922 silent horror that laid the groundwork for vampire cinema and inspired Robert Eggers’ recent remake.

Rabid

Fans of cult horror are in for a treat with the UK TV debut of "The Chainsaw Sally Show" on Friday, 7 March at 11.30pm. This grindhouse-style series follows Sally, a small-town librarian by day and chainsaw-wielding vigilante by night. Meanwhile, Thursday nights at 7pm continue the run of "Galvaston’s Cavern of Creeps", featuring channel premieres of "Night of the Demon" and "The Cars That Ate Paris". On Tuesdays at 9pm, "Dark Rewind" with host August Kyss dives into retro horror gems like "Chopping Mall" and "Incubus".
