Fright Pix
Fright Pix, hands down, is the best of the bunch. There were at least 10 categories of scary movies, from campsite to vampires to slasher. Every category had at least 40 films. Not only did Fright Pix have a huge selection, there were many former first-run movies starring some of Hollywood’s finest like Rose McGowan (Devil in the Flesh) Ben Kingsley, Elizabeth Shue and Mena Suvari. All of The Howling movies and even a Jeffrey Dahmer movie staring Jeremy Renner were on tap.
The Grindhouse Channel
The Grindhouse Channel has a slightly different take on horror movies. There were some oddballs like Cannibal Holocaust and Blood Hook. Grindhouse also has a collection of 70’s movies that blended horror with terror. And they stockpiled a bunch of motorcycle gang flicks. If there were ever a badly filmed biker movie, Grind House probably has it.
Midnight Pulp
If you want to delve deep into the truly, truly weird, Midnight Pulp I the channel for you. There’s the collection of Troma films like Toxic Avenger and Surf Nazis Must Die. Most horror fans know about those. But the foreign-made films are THE weirdest like Gurozuka, an Asian slasher movie, and Evil Twin, about a girl who wakes up after a 10 year coma that was induced by a drowning accident that killed her sister. I wonder whose doing the killing in the town now?

RokuGuide Quick Look: Midnight Pulp currently carries 170 titles in 10 categories, although a few of those titles are in multiple categories, so the actual number is a bit less. What makes Midnight Pulp different from some of the other free-movie channels is that these films are more recent - from this century, in fact.
