Other film offerings include The Wicker Man (1973), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), Immaculate (2024), Candyman (1992), Fall (2022), Horror Express (1972), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Longlegs (2024) and The Awakening (2011).

Meanwhile, TV shows available now include Ghosts (2019-23, the hit sitcom from the comedy minds behind Horrible Histories and Yonderland, which stars the likes of Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe and follows the paranormal inhabitants of Button House.

The Reluctant Vampire, which was released earlier this month, also makes up part of the line-up.

The show is an adaptation of the book series of the same name by comedy legend Eric Morecambe, and stars BAFTA winner Lenny Rush as Val, a young vampire who finds out that he is not, in fact, a vampire at all, and starts living a double life.
