has this ever been shown on tv in the uk?


hey....anyone know if Cellar dweller has ever been on tv in the uk?

or if it might be coming on the zone horror channel? or has been shown already?

it's not available on dvd yet....so that would be nice if they show it on tv sometime till then

reply

hi,

it definitely has been shown before because i saw it when i was a kid and i'm from the UK. Waiting for it to come out on DVD too. I remember the special effects being great.
but i was probably 9.

hi

but how long ago was that roughly?

i saw it when i was a kid too...but i rented it out on video...and i was about 9 as well lol

so yeah, i'm hoping that they at least show it on tv/sky sometime...and wondering how i could keep an eye on when it is gonna be showing on some channel available in the uk....cos THEN i could at least record it to dvd with my dvd recorder

oh yeah and i'm hoping they might show it on the horror channel too...i think that'd be the most likely place for it to be shown....that or the sci fi channel

hey did you catch it tonight.its starting know on mgm movies in uk/ireland

reply

huh? mgm movies? what's that?

i have sky and i've never heard of an mgm movies channel

ok i looked up mgm movies and it says it only shows in ireland....not in the uk/england...and it's not on sky

did they definately show cellar dweller?

no info on google search sayin that cellar dweller was on mgm movies

This film has never been shown on british tv, trust me, it might have been on sky or cable (Bravo might have shown it) but even then i doubt that...

reply

well someone tell someone to put it on!

lol

reply

I can just imagine this coming on bbc1...

reply

well it could have been many years ago....i mean they used to show a movie like zoltan the hound of dracula...lol that was on the bbc

but these days yeah....it's pretty unlikely..but most people have sky now and when i said british tv in my original post it included sky...and such channels as the horror channel

i wasn't really thinkin of terrestrial...but also bear in mind that now there's itv1,2,3 and bbc 3 and 4 as well

but the best bet i think is a channel like the horror channel...i honestly think that one day eventually it'll be on there if anywhere

reply

Its on MGM movie channel in 15 minutes but I dunno if any UK cable companies carry it (I'm in Ireland)

reply

Defo on sky when i was a kid around 15-20 years ago. Sorry i can't be more specific. I actually i thought it was longer but it can't be cause the film wasn't made yet

reply

Was shown on Channel 4 I think back in the 80s but as far as I know hasn't been on since. I also look out for the DVD every now and then but haven't seen it out. It was pretty cheesy, I remember it as a kid and I was amused.

reply

definately been on TV (I think sky) circa summer/autumn 1991

Who replaced John Mclane with an out and out *beep*
