Pumpkinhead probably nearing end of airing time in UK

So the Horror Channel have been airing the premieres from Feb '10 a lot during last January, and March '10 films in Feb '13, and I haven't seen any films whose rotation was over three years aired since I've been keeping track, which admittedly wasn't long.

Pumpkinhead was re-entered into rotation in April '10, so the apparent pattern suggests it would disappear from UK airwaves.

It's currently scheduled to air on a Friday this month (not today), either at 21:00 or 22:55, as part of the "monster mash" season which includes The Deadly Spawn, Inseminoid, The Last Lovecraft and four Syfy films.

Because its likely not worth another, their Saturday night premiers are: Lair of the White Worm, See No Evil, Waxwork, Chillerama and Penumbra

Would it help if I simplied the first paragraph to:

Evidence suggests movies on The Horror Channel have a three-year rotation span.

?

I'm not clear this confusion is coming from.

I can understand RC's confusion, your post is not easy to decipher at first glance. You are pointing out that Pumpkinhead is off the air after a three year rotation span in the UK, while informing us about other movies this UK channel will show?
So, are you unhappy about Pumpkinhead not being shown on TV anymore? Or is this just information for UK folks who post here?

Information.

I listed the others because I imagine at least The Deadly Spawn would interest some people.

I'd suggest either skipping Chillerama or getting some friends together with some beer to watch it. By yourself, it's not that great.

The Deadly Spawn airs this Friday, 22:55, with Lair of the White Worm getting a repeat airing afterwards.
