Zone Horror (formerly The Horror Channel) is a television film channel in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the Republic of Ireland. The channel shows horror movies.

The Horror Channel was created by Tony Hazell, who had previously worked for The God Channel. The Horror Channel was acquired by Zonemedia (formerly Zone Vision Networks Ltd.) for an undisclosed sum in June 2005; soon becoming Zone Horror in the process.

Specialised programming includes cult, Hollywood, comedy, Hammer House of Horror, B-Movie classics, modern thrillers, series, home-produced specials, biographies and documentaries. Since takeover they’ve revamped the daytime schedule to include more series and introduced some slightly better known films and directors to prime whilst retaining the cult look and feel of the channel. Zone Horror is currently available as a free-to-air service on Eurobird 1 and is part of Virgin Media's XL package.

Zone Horror +1 launched on Sky on 1 July 2008 replaced Zone Reality Extra.

The channel will be launched soon in Poland.

As of July 1st, the channel will not be available on cable in the Netherlands any longer^[1].

On 14 September 2009, it was revealed that the international arm of CBS struck a joint venture deal with Chellomedia to launch Six CBS-branded channels in the UK during 2009. The new channels will replace Zone Romantica, Zone Thriller, Zone Horror and Zone Reality, plus timeshift services Zone Horror +1 and Zone Reality +1. ^[2][3]
