Horror Gets Louder as NYX Rebrands to Scream TV UK

Halloween has come early for horror fans, as NYX TV officially transforms into Scream TV UK, uniting under a new global banner that promises to take the cult network’s commitment to the genre to terrifying new heights. The rebrand marks a significant step for NYX Media Corporation as it expands its international footprint, following the success of Scream TV’s North American debut last year.

For British audiences, this means everything they already loved about NYX – its deep catalogue of classic slashers, midnight movies, and modern cult gems – now comes wrapped in an even bloodier bow. The new Scream TV UK identity represents what the company describes as “a louder, bolder and more terrifying commitment to horror.” All existing subscriptions, access and programming remain unchanged, but fans can now expect a refreshed look, expanded slate and even more ways to stream their favourite frights through the Scream TV app, available on iOS and Android.

Originally launched in North America in 2024, Scream TV quickly became a haven for genre lovers thanks to its free-to-air model and packed daily schedule of films and series spanning a century of horror history. From silent-era masterpieces such as Nosferatu (1922) and Phantom of the Opera (1925) to grindhouse hits like Pieces (1982) and Euro-horror staples including Suspiria (1977), Zombie (1979) and Demons (1985), the channel blends nostalgia with discovery. The programming lineup also features anthology shows such as Tales of the Unexpected and The Hilarious House of Frightenstein, alongside a slate of independent horror shorts and new original content scheduled for later in the year.

What sets Scream TV apart is its inclusive, filmmaker-first ethos. Founded by Corinne Ferguson, NYX Media Corporation is the world’s first female-owned and operated horror network, dedicated to amplifying diverse voices within the genre. Ferguson’s approach to programming prioritises both viewers and creators, combining curated, high-quality content with fair partnerships for filmmakers whose work appears on the channel. Her vision has helped position Scream TV not only as a broadcaster but as a community hub for horror fans across the world.

In an era of subscription fatigue, Scream TV UK also stands out for being entirely free. Viewers can stream via multiple platforms or tune into the channel’s scheduled programming, which updates daily at 1pm and 9pm with fresh titles. Future plans include themed marathons, live horror hosts, and collaborations with genre festivals and filmmakers in the UK and Europe.

The move to unify the brand under the Scream TV identity ensures a cohesive presence across international markets while strengthening its position as a global destination for horror. From Hollywood to Hammer, from indie chills to family-friendly frights, Scream TV UK aims to deliver “something for every kind of horror fan,” all without costing a penny.

As the platform’s new slogan declares, Scream TV UK invites audiences to “start screaming today.” The rebrand officially rolls out this month, with the UK channel joining its North American counterpart in time for Halloween – a perfect season for new horrors to rise.
