    Hi.

    Does anyone remember this Sky TV show from late 80s/early 90s that preceded movies?

    It had a man and woman. I think the man was a Dracula type figure.

    Could it be Freddy's Nightmares? It was a tv show presented by the character from the movies. It used to feature a different horror story every episode. It was on sky1 late on friday nights through the late 80's/early 90's. I remember sneaking out of bed most fridays to watch it.

    This? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadly_Earnest
    No, that would be too early. The show (not even a show I'd say, just an intro to late night movies) I am talking about was from the late 1980s at the earliest.

    Great sig quote by the way. Who said that?

    It sounds like the Deadly Ernest Horror Show:
