Australian Horror TV Schedules

(May have an east-coast bias. Anyone in WA want to start one??) Cinema Release Dates

This page was started because www.sofcom.com.au's design your own TV guide (MY TV). Was not picking up films from the horror genre (it is great for personalizing your own TV guide to an extent.. But many horror films list as thrillers and sometimes guides do not list genres at all).To get them to appear on the weekly/daily Email was almost impossible unless I listed 3000 horror titles and hoped one might show up.. So my stress is your gain I hope. I have found these by tediously going page by page across TV guides to find HORROR.. COMING SOON TV synop history file file. Special thanks to J.F.S. you can send him a thankyou to if you want (for FOXTEL guides)..

 Man Bites Dog (R) 1992
Don't ask me why I think this movie is horror worthy.. It could have something to do with the way it tries to be integral about killing.. The way a film crew would rather film murder than prevent it.. I guess it may be based on the viewer.. This mocumentary is more likely meant to be a thought provoking comedy. 3,4
