Binge-ful Watching: Turner Classic Movies October Schedule

by 8:39 PM
It's that time of year again! It's that time of bags and bags of caramel apple milky ways, peanuts with candy corn, and every casserole made from my online recipe book. But most importantly, it is the time for all the classic horror movies that AMC and ABC Family just won't touch! Turner Classic Movies does not entirely knock it out of the park (How many times can a girl watch "The Devil Doll" or "The Dead of Night" without wanting to recreate a few classic murder movie scenes?), but a whole night devoted to Val Lewton! Halloween Disney things! Homicidal! Mark of the Vampire! The Haunting! The list only goes so far, 

I do understand that Turner Classic can only acquire so many movies considering copyright, but maybe it's time to break out some Universal or, be still my heart, anything creepy lingering in the Warner Archives now forgotten. A night of German expressionism maybe? I find myself very excited for Val Lewton night (which will summon every ounce of my TCM Halloween marathon watching skills acquired in the past 5 years...), a little known British production of "Fall of the House of Usher", and the Spencer Tracy version of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" which I have not seen yet! This will prove to be a very productive October.
