BBC HORROR DOUBLE BILLS

BBC Horror Double Bills

Welcome to the BBC Horror Double Bills section of the MrSuperphil Picture House.

This page looks back at the classic BBC horror double bill seasons from the 1970s and 1980s — unforgettable late-night television that introduced many viewers to gothic horror, monster movies, thrillers and cult classics.

Here you’ll find my reviews and memories of those films, celebrating a time when staying up late to watch horror on television felt like a special event.

When I was a child I remember watching these during the summer holidays.  Remember the first night when the 'Frankenstein, Dracula and Friends' season was on.  That night Dracula (1931) and Frankenstein (1931) was on.  After that night I was never the same, and hooked to horror movies.
