   Comments: I would love to see these films make a comeback..Sky movies have shown a couple recently of the old dracula and frankenstein variety... I think they are fantastic and i think the music that plays in them makes it more scarier than what it really is....... Give these films back to the people

   Comments: 1. The old, classic horrors appeal to the older audience for nostalgic reasons. 2. They appeal to the adult audience because of their adult themes. 3. Kids LOVE monsters 4. The movies were made long ago enough to be rated G for family viewing. 5. They can be inexpensively procured for broadcast. Please institute a regularly (weekly?) airing of classic monster/horror/mystery films that can be seen at an early enough hour for the whole family to watch. Thank you.

    Comments: The BBC horror double bills made my summer holidays very special. I remember the excitement of buying the radio times just to find out which classics of the genre would be showing. Whole generations of children are missing out on the great Universal horrors and (If their parents will let them watch) the Hammers of the 50's, 60's and 70's. It is such a shame. Please make summer special again.

    Comments: The BBC really need to bring back the classic horror double bill. It was such a highlight of the TV schedules and even though we now live in an age of digital TV, DVD, Bluray, etc many people would watch these films were they to be screened again. Not all these films are available on DVD anyway and have not Ben screened on TV in years. Give the licence payers what they want and hear our voice. The BBC is the people's channel. Listen to our pleas!

    Comments: The BBC's seasons of horror double-bills in the 1970s and '80s boasted incredibly varied programmes, intelligently selected and delivered. For several horror buffs who later enjoyed success within the genre - as writers, filmmakers and academics - this on-going strand presented an entre into a much maligned genre that had - and still has - much to offer the discerning movie fan. I for one would be delighted to see it return to our screens.

    Comments: I teach film now - and particularly focus on genre - at degree level and it's sad that TV no longer gives people the chance to educate themselves in the rich history of cinema. New films are plentiful on DVD, and of course elsewhere - but where TV can do something no other medium can do it is in this area: archive and retrospective. TV is a perfect host for the rich back catalogue of genre cinema - particularly the history of horror and the heritage of British horror cinema that needs a champion as there is an audience in need of it!

    Comments: I hear more and more teenagers say they've seen the ' remake' of a horror movie vs the original. Those who dont know their past are doomed to repeat it! Thus these really awful remakes, dominating the horror culture will be the only image that sticks out in their minds. When they miss so much from the lack of resources. Bbc could be that resource!

    Comments: Too many talent(less) shows on tv . Bring back the weekend horror double bills to at least add some variety . Dont recall anything like them being on regularly since the 80s. There always an audience for horror movies . Always has been , always will be . Plenty of new stuff from the intervening decades to broadcast as well as the accepted classics . LETS AVE EM BACK !!

    Comments: For many of us, the double bills were a formative and important part of our film education and entertainment. Countless current UK film-makers cite them as a formative influence in them wanting to make films or TV programmes. Many of us who are "of a certain age" still remember the double bills with fondness and appreciation. The programming was intelligent and well thought through, and enabled many of us to see films we had only ever read about. It would be a great move on the part of the BBC to use their expertise and resources to do the same thing again for a new generation.
