Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (15) is a Hammer horror Dracula movie from 1968. Christopher Lee returns for the third time to Bram Stoker’s legendary role, going fang-to-cross with the forces of good in Freddie Francis’ stylish, atmospheric film. Rupert Davies, Barbara Ewing and the beguiling Veronica Carlson star alongside Lee.

Catch Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (15) on Saturday, October 31 at 5.45pm,

The Halloween zombie double bill, entitled Dead Before Bed, will be shown on the evening of October 31 from 8pm.

The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue is shot in glamorous surrounds of the Derbyshire countryside, Jorge Grau’s classic zombie movie from 1974 is one of the genre’shighlights. New experiments with a new pesticide on local farmland have had the unfortunate effect of awakening the dead and turning them into ravenous, blood-hungry cannibals. George (Ray Lovelock) and Edna (Cristina Galbo) are out driving in the English countryside when they run into some trouble with a murderous zombie.

Zombie Flesh Eaters was envisaged as a cash-in on the huge success of George A. Romero’s cult movie Dawn Of The Dead, but Lucio Fulci’s 1979 film is now a highlight of the zombie genre. The story sees a newspaper reporter heading to a small Caribbean island to investigate strange reports of experiments being conducted and zombie reanimation.
