We cover a lot of films here on UTG, and thanks to a new channel on YouTube we may soon be able to bring even more content to your ever-hungry eyes.

The Wrap had the pleasure of exclusively announcing this afternoon that YouTube has launched its first paid channel for horror films. Known as Screampix, the new offering launched today and features more than 200 hours of horror footage, including full-length features, trailers and interviews. Kearie Peak, former COO of electric entertainment, is co-founder of the venture. Former SyFY executive Ray Cannella will be in charge of programming for the channel and will also interview horror filmmakers and take viewers behind-the-scenes of assorted films. Access to the channel costs $2.99/month.

YouTube unveiled its long-suspected plan for a paid subscription service last week with the launch of 50 new channels and the promise of more to come. We have yet to give Screampix a spin, but are excited to dig into the future of horror. Could this be our new source for all things spine-tingling? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
