For the benefit (or not) of any UK people here whose lives aren't boring enough that they find themselves checking the listings as much as I do.
Zone Horror:
The Hamiltons - premiered on Wednesday and has already been repeated, so it may well be repeated sometime soon
Caretaker (April 3rd) – Apparently it's about an urban legend and some teacher trying to sleep with a student.
Diary of a Serial Killer (April 4th) – This one seems to be about a serial killer who kills his victims in similar ways to famous serial killers. Sounds a lot like that movie Copycat. I'm guessing it doesn't help that, on further inspection, the people who made the DVD for this one renamed it Copycat (It was made over a decade later though). And there's some kind of journalist "seeking vengeance" against the serial killer.
The Toolbox Murders (April 8th) – I could have sworn this movie already aired on Zone Horror a while ago. I'm sure this one is quite well known, but in case anyone hasn't heard of it it's a slasher set in a hotel in Hollywood.
Ice Spiders (April 10th) – A creature feature about giant spiders. By giant I mean maybe bear/tiger size giant, not giant monster giant (which they were portrayed as on the DVD cover, thus advertising the film as a different kind of movie). This premiers on the same weekend as Deep Freeze.
Deep Freeze (April 11th)– An oil rig is invaded by trilobites, if I'm not mistaken. This one is actually discontinued both here and in America so I guess it's "obscure" by now. I'm actually looking forward to this one.
Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield (April 15th)– Another Ed Gein movie. Apparently they decided it's been long enough since they premiered the last one in January and aired it again in Real Serial Killer Week last weekend.
Teen Monster (April 17th) - Apparently it's some kind of comedic take on Frankenstein or something.
The Lighthouse (April 18th) – This is a British horror movie if I'm not mistaken. I've heard it compared to Ghost Rig, which suggests it's bad, very bad!
Blood Angels (April 22nd) - All I know is it has something to dowith female vampires who don't want to be controlled by their male "master" anymore.
Chupacabra: Dark Seas (April 24th) - There's a chupacabra running around on a boat, or something.
Glass Trap (April 25th) – This one is about giant radioactive ants attacking people in an office building. Having actually imported it a while ago, I can safely say it's one of the worst creature features I've ever seen. Without going into detail, it's anticlimactic. And by that I mean I'm not positive there was a climax.
War of the Worlds 2 – I'm certain this one premiered last November. That's an awfully short time for Zone Horror to sell the viewing rights, then decide they'd made a mistake and buy them again. (Actually, I'm not sure this is premiering again, since it's re-airing on either after the Glass Trap or the next day)
Evil Aliens (April 29th) - Aliens invade a welsh island and there's something about a TV reporter.
Cradle of Fear (April 29th) - An imprisoned serial killer sends his servent (what the hell?) after people for "revenge".
Pervirella (April 29th) - I have no idea. I just know it's "strange". Even I might avoid this one.
The Sci-Fi Channel:
Premiers:
Dragon Hunter (April 21st, 24th, 26th) - It's got something to do with orphans and dragons. Also, it was apparently a theatrical movie.
Flu Birds (April 21st) - A bunch of kids are attacked by Pterosaur-like birds which I presume are infected with some kind of mutated bird flu. It's also made by Ni Image, the company responsible for Shark Attack 3: Megalodon!
Raging Sharks (April 22nd) - It's a shark movie made by Nu Image. There's a lot of, er... potential there.
Attack of the Gryphon (April 22nd, 25th) - As far as I understand, it's Dragon Storm with a gryphon except made by Nu Image.
War Wolves (April 23rd, 26th) – It involves soldiers fighting werewolves. It sounds like Dog Soldiers, except apparently all the werewolves are female.
Warbirds (April 26th, 30th) – Pterodactyls attack soldiers during World War 2. Well, actually they look like Aerodactyls. Maybe Nintendo sponsored this one, or at the special effects guy was obsessed with Pokemon. At any rate they don't have beaks at all.
Notable re-airings:
Mansquito/Mosquitoman (April 12th/28th) – This one hasn't been on air in a while now. I think the last time I saw it listed was late 2006. Actually it might have been late 2007. It's been a long time either way. A dangerous criminal is infused with mosquito DNA.
Larva (April 26th/27th) – See above, except in this one there's bugs that hatch out of people. And other animals, like cows.
Snakeman (April 4th/8th) – See above, except in this one it's... well to be completely honest it's the one giant snake movie I've never been able to sit through unless it was on as background noise. And considering giant snake movies are one kind of movie I have a weakness for that's saying a lot. But in the off-chance anyone actually liked this movie, here it is again.
The Ferryman (April 14th/20th) – This might be the first re-airing since its UK debut last November.

nice, been wanting to see this for some time. thanks for the heads up.
there's a couple of other uk heads post on here I believe...
Earlier today I found out that either the Sci-Fi channel changed their listings or I somehow missed a few premiers including two movies actually on my "movies to watch list".
Or maybe Nu Image just bribed them.
Either way, a couple seem to have no currently scheduled repeats and I remember a previous Sci-Fi Channel creature feature week where I'm sure a few of the films they showed never aired again.
