New Castle After Dark

We are a late night movie show, with reverence to the shows & hosts that came before. Welcome to New Castle after Dark!

We are a movie channel bringing you films that are a feast for the mind, playing movies that range from classic to the obscure. In the vein of the old time hosts such as "Chilly" Billy Cardille, Rich Morgan and Superhost, nothing too extreme or gory, but entertaining. So grab a corner of your couch with the one you love and enjoy!

We have finally returned to present to you our tenth annual Halloween Special! In our opinion, Frankenstein: The True Story is one of the top made for tv horror films, with a run time of around 3 hours, it goes by very quickly. The literate script was the creation of novelist Christopher Isherwood and Don Bachardy. The movie was directed by journeyman Jack Smight and can likely be considered his best effort. As for the cast—no horror movie before or since has boasted such a talented crew. Leonard Whiting, who was Romeo in Zefferelli’s Romeo and Juliet, was brilliantly cast as young Victor Frankenstein. The aforementioned James Mason was superb as the suavely sinister Dr. Polidori. In fact, this is the role that made me a lifetime fan of the smooth-tongued Englishman. Also appearing were Michael Sarrazin as the Creature, David McCallum as Dr. Clerval, a ravishing young Jane Seymour as Prima, and Nicola Pagett as Victor’s wife, Elizabeth. John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, Michael Wilding, Agnes Moorhead and Tom Baker also popped up in smaller roles. So get your fright wigs on, pour yourself a nice tall drink, and enjoy Halloween with your hosts, The Management!

Our presentation for August is up, if you haven't stopped by the channel in a minute, this months feature is Body Bags! Showtime Networks planned to create Body Bags as a television series similar to HBO's Tales from the Crypt. However, shortly after filming began, Showtime decided not to pursue the series. The three completed stories were assembled around John Carpenter's narration segment, and Body Bags became a horror anthology. So swing by this weekend for an enjoyable hangout with your hosts, The Management!

We have returned from our pause last month, ready for our July presentation! "Strange and haunting" is how the Encyclopedia of Horror described The Premonition, and they were right. It's a difficult film to absorb: slower paced, odd, and enigmatic, but worth the effort. It lingers and resonates, if you'd like immediate action this may not be to your taste. Director Robert Allen Schnitzer orchestrated a highly atmospheric and offbeat little horror-oddity, on a meager budget, and amidst some decidedly no-frills locations. Though a little rough around the edges at times, The Premonition delivers the same eerie, sustained mood of a film like "Don't Look Now", but with a fraction of the resources. I think most fans of obscure, 70's horror with a somewhat "artistic" flair will find this one pretty enjoyable! Starring Richard Lynch, Sharon Farrell and Jeff Corey, and featuring a haunting score from accomplished classical composer Henry Mollicone! So come join your hosts The Management and have a cold beverage and snack ready!

We have returned in the waning days of April with a true gem, 1989's The Woman in Black. When a friendless old widow dies in the seaside town of Crythin, a young solicitor is sent in to settle her estate. Following cryptic warnings from the locals regarding the terrifying history of the old woman’s house, he very soon begins to see visions of a menacing woman in black…

Atmospherically directed by BAFTA-nominated Herbert Wise and starring Adrian Rawlins as the unfortunate young solicitor and Pauline Moran as the terrifying revenant, this unsettling drama remains a high watermark for ghost story adaptations on British television and still retains its significant potential to shock.

So turn down the lights, pour yourself a nice beverage, and get comfortable as your hosts The Management deliver this feast of fear!

We have returned with our March selection, this time it's from the year 2000! Shadow of the Vampire" is a film that posits ... what if Max Schreck, the star of "Nosferatu," was in fact an actual, real-life vampire? Think of it like one of those Oscar bait-y movies about making movies, except in this one a director has to wrangle an old world vampire with a thirst for the blood of his fellow cast and crew. Willem Dafoe plays Max Schreck, the vampire star of the movie, John Malkovich is F.W. Murnau, the famed director of "Nosferatu," and the rest of the cast is rounded out with familiar faces like the wonderfully bizarre Udo Kier, the always charming Carey Elwes, and Eddie Izzard, who at the time was most famous as a hilarious stand-up comedian, but turned in a great serious performance. So get your spot on the couch ready, line up those snacks and kick and enjoy Shadow of the Vampire with your hosts The Management!

03/03/2025

We have returned to bring you another underappreciated gem! Hollywood legends Gregory Peck and Laurence Olivier face off in a sinister plot to rekindle the Third Reich, in 1978's sci-fi thriller THE BOYS FROM BRAZIL. Hiding in South America, the notorious Dr. Josef Mengele (a scenery-chewing portrayal by Peck) convenes a covert gathering of N**i war criminals. Tipped off by a young investigator, skeptical N**i hunter Ezra Lieberman (Olivier, in an Oscar-nominated role) goes to Paraguay to uncover the truth for himself. There, he discovers a horrific conspiracy...Based on the bestseller by Rosemary’s Baby author Ira Levin, this terrifically chilling adaptation received Academy Award nominations for Best Editing and composer Jerry Goldsmith’s ominous score. So warm up YouTube and pour yourself a nice beverage and relax with your hosts The Management!

We are back for 2025!! If the purpose of this show is, at least in part, to remind people of extraordinary films they may have forgotten, or even never seen, then Witchfinder General (retitled The Conqueror Worm in America) qualifies better than most. Michael Reeves, its British director, died at the age of 25. This was the last of his three films, made when he was 23, and it is one of the finest! Filmed on a very modest budget in East Anglia, the movie stars Vincent Price, an actor often on the edge of parodying himself but, under a good director, able to drop his camp mannerisms and produce something special. He plays Matthew Hopkins, an infamous lawyer-turned-witchhunter, culled from history, who travels the countryside rooting out those opposed to the revolution by accusing them of being witches. So kick back and relax with your hosts The Management over on YouTube!

Merry Christmas!! If you think of Peter Cushing in a Hammer production, it will be his roles in the colorful horror films that will spring to mind first, and for good reason! As it's those performances that defined the great actor; but Cushing and Hammer also combined on some non-horror films, and Cash on Demand (1961)is surely one of the very best of them, both in terms of the film itself and the performances from the great Peter Cushing and Andre Morrell. This is an absolutely brilliant thriller that works thanks to its simplicity, commanding and intriguing performances and well written script. With a few nods to A Christmas Carol in the story we feel it is the perfect film for you to enjoy the holidays! So get out your eggnog and smoking bishop, get nestled in and enjoy Cash on Demand with your jolly hosts, The Management!

11/28/2024

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Our selection for November is The Mafu Cage, a 1978 American psychological horror film directed by Karen Arthur, and starring Carol Kane and Lee Grant. Its plot follows two sisters, both the daughters of a late anthropologist, residing in a dilapidated Los Angeles mansion: one, is an astronomer, and the other, is a dysfunctional eccentric who keeps and eventually kills a variety of monkeys and other primates,
(although not graphic-all violence is off screen) it is not your typical psychological horror film. Carol Kane is spectacular as is Lee Grant, the always reliable James Olson(The Spell, Amityville 2) has a brief cameo. This was originally released on December 1st 1978. So kick yourself away from the dinner table, let the tryptophan do its thing and get cozy with your hosts The Management

11/24/2024

Our film for November will be posted this week, our apologies! We have experienced a few delays- it seems this is our year for them! We appreciate everyone's patience, this shouldn't delay our Christmas Special (our ninth one!)

10/22/2024

The air is chilly and the daylight is getting shorter, won't you join us on ourYouTube channel as we celebrate our ninth(!) Halloween Special! Our October selection is a true classic, 1967's Torture Garden. Made by Amicus Productions, it is one of producer Milton Subotsky's trademark "portmanteau" films, an omnibus of short stories (in this case all by Psycho author Robert Bloch, who adapted his own work for the screenplay) linked by a single narrative. Freddie Francis said Martin Scorsese wanted him to make a film about the life of Edgar Allan Poe because he so admired Torture Garden. So, get your cider ready and come celebrate the season with your hosts, The Management!

As we say goodbye to the summer, we welcome back our favorite time of the year! We have a special treat this month, the very first Russian horror film, 1967's VIY, is a 1967 Soviet gothic horror ffilm directed by Konstantin Yershov and Georgi Kropachyov. Based on the story of the same name by Nikolai Gogol, the film's screenplay was written by Yershov, Kropachyov and Aleksandr Ptushko. The film was distributed by Mosfilm, and was the first Soviet-era horror film to be officially released in the USSR! The version on our channel will have English subtitles but in no way does it detract from this amazing movie! So get ready for a ride into Russian folk horror with your hosts The Management
