New Castle After Dark

We are a late night movie show, with reverence to the shows & hosts that came before. Welcome to New Castle after Dark!

We are a movie channel bringing you films that are a feast for the mind, playing movies that range from classic to the obscure. In the vein of the old time hosts such as "Chilly" Billy Cardille, Rich Morgan and Superhost, nothing too extreme or gory, but entertaining. So grab a corner of your couch with the one you love and enjoy!

We are back for 2025!! If the purpose of this show is, at least in part, to remind people of extraordinary films they may have forgotten, or even never seen, then Witchfinder General (retitled The Conqueror Worm in America) qualifies better than most. Michael Reeves, its British director, died at the age of 25. This was the last of his three films, made when he was 23, and it is one of the finest! Filmed on a very modest budget in East Anglia, the movie stars Vincent Price, an actor often on the edge of parodying himself but, under a good director, able to drop his camp mannerisms and produce something special. He plays Matthew Hopkins, an infamous lawyer-turned-witchhunter, culled from history, who travels the countryside rooting out those opposed to the revolution by accusing them of being witches. So kick back and relax with your hosts The Management over on YouTube!

Merry Christmas!! If you think of Peter Cushing in a Hammer production, it will be his roles in the colorful horror films that will spring to mind first, and for good reason! As it's those performances that defined the great actor; but Cushing and Hammer also combined on some non-horror films, and Cash on Demand (1961)is surely one of the very best of them, both in terms of the film itself and the performances from the great Peter Cushing and Andre Morrell. This is an absolutely brilliant thriller that works thanks to its simplicity, commanding and intriguing performances and well written script. With a few nods to A Christmas Carol in the story we feel it is the perfect film for you to enjoy the holidays! So get out your eggnog and smoking bishop, get nestled in and enjoy Cash on Demand with your jolly hosts, The Management!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Our selection for November is The Mafu Cage, a 1978 American psychological horror film directed by Karen Arthur, and starring Carol Kane and Lee Grant. Its plot follows two sisters, both the daughters of a late anthropologist, residing in a dilapidated Los Angeles mansion: one, is an astronomer, and the other, is a dysfunctional eccentric who keeps and eventually kills a variety of monkeys and other primates,
(although not graphic-all violence is off screen) it is not your typical psychological horror film. Carol Kane is spectacular as is Lee Grant, the always reliable James Olson(The Spell, Amityville 2) has a brief cameo. This was originally released on December 1st 1978. So kick yourself away from the dinner table, let the tryptophan do its thing and get cozy with your hosts The Management

Our film for November will be posted this week, our apologies! We have experienced a few delays- it seems this is our year for them! We appreciate everyone's patience, this shouldn't delay our Christmas Special (our ninth one!)

The air is chilly and the daylight is getting shorter, won't you join us on ourYouTube channel as we celebrate our ninth(!) Halloween Special! Our October selection is a true classic, 1967's Torture Garden. Made by Amicus Productions, it is one of producer Milton Subotsky's trademark "portmanteau" films, an omnibus of short stories (in this case all by Psycho author Robert Bloch, who adapted his own work for the screenplay) linked by a single narrative. Freddie Francis said Martin Scorsese wanted him to make a film about the life of Edgar Allan Poe because he so admired Torture Garden. So, get your cider ready and come celebrate the season with your hosts, The Management!

As we say goodbye to the summer, we welcome back our favorite time of the year! We have a special treat this month, the very first Russian horror film, 1967's VIY, is a 1967 Soviet gothic horror ffilm directed by Konstantin Yershov and Georgi Kropachyov. Based on the story of the same name by Nikolai Gogol, the film's screenplay was written by Yershov, Kropachyov and Aleksandr Ptushko. The film was distributed by Mosfilm, and was the first Soviet-era horror film to be officially released in the USSR! The version on our channel will have English subtitles but in no way does it detract from this amazing movie! So get ready for a ride into Russian folk horror with your hosts The Management

Our selection for September should be available this coming Saturday!

After our two month exile from YouTube due to copyright infractions, we have finally returned for August!! Tonight we bring you a classic, this rendition being the 1973 Dan Curtis production of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Three months after it rolled out Dan Curtis' adaptation of Frankenstein, ABC gave a late-night premiere to this Curtis production of a gothic literary work by Irish author Oscar Wilde. As it stands, it's one of the better screen translations of the work.
In Victorian era London, a handsome aristocrat (Shane Briant) is gifted a portrait of himself at his youthful peak by an admiring artist (Charles Aidman). Gray, who is taken by the amazing likeness, wishes that he could remain young forever while his portrait ages, instead. As he is taken under the wing of an incorrigible hedonist named Sir Harry Wotton (Nigel Davenport), he finds that his pleasures and sins rapidly appear on his face in the portrait, which becomes uglier and uglier as he tests the deeper limits of his own depravity. Despite the displayed shortcomings of videotape, this one benefits from a witty script and strong performances from Briant, who, contrary to the opening titles declaring an introduction, had already appeared in a pair of Hammer films the previous year: Straight on Till Morning and Demons of the Mind, and Davenport (A Man for All Seasons, Phase IV), who steals the show. Curtis regulars Charles Aidman and John Karlen are also strong in supporting roles, and Kim Richards (Escape to Witch Mountain, Tuff Turf) logs an early cameo. Gray's debauched indulgences are more chilling here in this made-for-television effort than the 1945 film (awfully strong, though vague and suggested for TV) No soap opera was ever like this! A beautiful, terrible example of man's nature left to run amok. So get your late night jam on, have yourself a nightcap and kick back with your hosts the Management!

We have returned for May, and what better way to celebrate Memorial Day than with a Sci-Fi time travel movie? Tonights film is 1984's The Philadelphia Experiment . It is directed by Stewart Raffill, stars Michael Paré, Bobby Di Cicco, Kene Holliday and Nancy Allen and is based on the urban legend of the Philadelphia Experiment, a tale of two sailors who are thrown forward in time to the year 1984 when a scientific experiment being performed aboard the USS Eldridge suffers a catastrophe. The film follows the two men as they attempt to survive the future and race against time to put an end to the experiment that now threatens the fate of the entire world. So get your glass and some ice, cool out and relax with your hosts The Management!

We appreciate your support!

You have probably been wondering where is the April presentation? Our movie for the month has been blocked by YouTube unfortunately, our selection was 1979's The Dark, starring William Devane, Cathy Lee Crosby, Keenan Wynn and Casey Kasem(!) A film that we enjoy as it's a fun ride, the creation of the film is also an interesting story. But alas, the powers that be have not allowed it. We will definitely return for May, earlier this time, with a selection we hope you will enjoy!

Although we are in the last days of March, our presentation for the month is the excellent Seance on a Wet Afternoon. Based on the 1961 novel by Mark McShane, the film follows a mentally unstable medium who convinces her husband to kidnap a child so she can help the police solve the crime and achieve renown for her abilities. Kim Stanley was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film. A quiet, moody and tense film, we feel it is perfect for the end of March. So get relaxed and warm, come kick back with your hosts The Management

Third design

We have returned for late February, this time with an under appreciated good and tense little movie, 1965's The Nanny, (plus it's a Hammer film!)Starring Bette Davis, James Villiers, Wendy Craig and a young Pamela Franklin, many critics at the time turned their haughty noses up at the thriller/horror films of Bette Davis. They felt that the two time Oscar winning actress was cheapening her image and reputation by making these films. As for The Nanny, it is too subtle and psychologically complex to be dismissed. So get your weekend refreshments and snacks all ready, kick back and enjoy with your hosts, The Management.
