Turner Classic Movies has announced that horror rocker/filmmaker Rob Zombie will host TCM UNDERGROUND, a weekly late-night cult-movie showcase debuting in October. Says TCM’s Tom Karsch, “TCM UNDERGROUND will serve as home to some of the truly visionary cult films that have been made over the past century, from stylish horror movies to offbeat black comedies. We are proud to have a talent like Rob Zombie hosting this showcase, which is certain to broaden TCM’s appeal beyond our loyal core audience.”
Zombie will not only introduce the features but select them as well. Already set for broadcast are George Romero’s THE CRAZIES, Francis Coppola’s debut shocker DEMENTIA 13, Leonard Castle’s THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, Seijun Suzuki’s Yakuza thriller TOKYO DRIFTER and Ed Wood’s BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. Like all of TCM’s movies, they’ll be presented uninterrupted and commercial-free.
