Carnivorous sandworms, murderous ant hybrids, a giant snake and deadly creepy spiders…Horror Channel gets beastly this March with a creature-feature season – a monstrous collection of creature carnage, which includes the UK TV premieres of IT CAME FROM THE DESERT, Marko Mäkilaakso’s smart, funny and very creepy homage to Ray Harryhausen, and Micah Gallo’s skin-tingling directorial debut ITSY BITSY, every arachnophobe’s worst nightmare. Broadcast on Friday nights throughout the month, the season also includes the channel premiere of TREMORS, Ron Underwood’s affectionate throwback to 1950s creature features, starring Kevin Bacon, and the star-studded jungle snake nightmare ANACONDA, starring Jon Voight, Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Eric Stoltz.
