The titles will be added to G&S’s two main FAST channels, Dust and Alter, which the company said have more than 12 million monthly viewers in the US.

Other titles joining the channels include movies Summer of ‘84, Fear Itself, Creep, Hounds of Love and multiple entries from the Phantasm, Wishmaster and Amityville franchises as well as TV series such as Weird or What?, Encounter: UFO and Pop Culture Quest.

G&S co-founder and president Floris Bauer said the growth of its FAST channels business has allowed it to invest in more programming.

Bauer said: “We are excited to take the channels to the next level, offering fans a highly curated mix of iconic titles, as well as boundary-pushing new films and series. And, for Alter and Dust filmmakers just starting out, they get to see their short films live shoulder-to-shoulder with the masters of the genre and be viewed by millions of people.”
