Jess Franco Friday!
Halloween is on Sunday, which means this week will feature lots and lots of scary movies on TCM. The evening lineup on Wednesday Oct. 27 features three of Universal Pictures best horror films, while Vincent Price cult classic The Abominable Dr. Phibes kicks off a three-day Halloween marathon at 8 pm ET Friday, Oct. 29.
We’ve got five spooky picks for you, but you can click here to browse through the entire week’s schedule: https://www.tcm.com/schedule-monthly…
1. Dracula (1931) at 9:45 pm ET/6:45 pm PT Wednesday, Oct. 27: If you’re ride or die for Universal Pictures famed monster movies, TCM has three of the best starting with Bela Lugosi in his iconic performance as a suave vampire.
Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera (1925) airs at 3:30 am ET/12:30 am PT and Boris Karloff in the original Frankenstein (1931) airs at 5 am ET/2 am PT (Frankenstein is also on at 8 pm ET Saturday).
2. Night of the Living Dead (1968) at 10 pm ET/7 pm PT Friday, Oct. 29: George A. Romero’s low-budget classic about a group of people who are surrounded by zombies in a remote farmhouse has been endlessly imitated, but it’s still completely terrifying, especially the famous final scene.
3. Young Frankenstein (1974) at 9:30 pm ET/6:30 pm PT Saturday, Oct. 30: Director Mel Brooks comedy is both a hilarious spoof and loving homage to old Hollywood monster movies.
4. The Pit and the Pendulum (1961) at 3:30 pm ET/12:30 pm PT Sunday, Oct. 31: It wouldn’t be Halloween without a little Vincent Price on the movie menu. He is really, really good in a double role in this second of eight Edgar Allan Poe adaptations he made with director Roger Corman.
5. Psycho (1960) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Sunday Oct. 31: Grab your leftover Halloween candy and settle down on the couch for a staycation at the Bates Motel. Just stay away from Room No. 1 and the proprietor’s mother.
It’s almost October (can you believe it?), which means it’s the season for scary movies on TCM. Things start out on Friday, Oct. 1 with a daytime lineup of pre-code horror. We’ll be DVRing director Fritz Lang’s influential German film, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse (1933) airing at 10:30 am ET/7:30 am PT, but there’s also a lot of old Hollywood favorites, including The Most Dangerous Game (1932) at 8 am ET/5 am PT and Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933) at 3:45 pm ET/12:45 pm PT.
Sunday nights in October will also feature horror films. Director Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller The Birds (1963) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT will be part of a night of creature features.
Here’s the best of the rest for the week of Sept. 27, 2021:
1. Citizen Kane (1941) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Monday, Sept. 27: Writer/director/star Orson Welles’ masterpiece about a newspaper mogul is part of a night of programming featuring the new Academy Museum in Los Angeles. There’s something more than a hope that viewers will get a gander at the world’s most famous sled before the evening is over.
2. National Silent Movie Day on Wednesday, Sept. 29: Honestly, you couldn’t go wrong DVRing everything during this daylong celebration of the artistry of silent films (if you’re interested here’s a link to the complete September schedule https://www.tcm.com/schedule-monthly…) but we’ll point you to the sublime tragic beauty of Maria Falconetti in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1927) at 2 pm ET/11 am PT and the sublime comic beauty of Buster Keaton in Sherlock, Jr. (1924) at 1:15 am ET/10:15 pm PT. The documentaries airing include Be Natural (2018) at 9:45 pm ET/6:45 pm PT a tribute to pioneering female filmmaker Alice Guy-Blache.
3. An Affair to Remember (1957) at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT Thursday, Sept. 30: This all-time great romantic weepie starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr is a great way to wrap up September. An Affair to Remember is part of a daylong lineup celebrating the centenary of Scottish actor Deborah Kerr, who was born Sept. 30, 1921, in Glasgow.
4. Fleischer Animation 100th Anniversary-Part 2 at 10:45 pm ET/7:45 pm PT Saturday, Oct. 2: This compilation of cartoons from the famed Fleischer Studios includes Saturday matinee favorites like Betty Boop and Popeye. Here’s a link with more info: https://www.animationmagazine.net/…/tcm-celebrates…/
Here’s 5 to watch during this week’s Summer Under the Stars lineup on TCM.
1. Anatomy of a Murder (1959) at 11:45 pm ET/8:45 pm PT Monday, Aug. 23: There’s lots of wonderful films airing during Eve Arden’s SUTS day, but her wistful performance as James Stewart’s secretary in this courtroom drama is one of our favorites.
2. The Love Parade (1930) at 9:45 pm ET/6:45 pm PT Tuesday, Aug. 24: French actor Maurice Chevalier’s SUTS day brings lots of excellent pre-code fare, including this frothy Lubitsch-directed confection about the amours of a vivacious queen (Jeanette MacDonald), whose roving eye soon alights on Chevalier’s charming soldier.
3. Stage Fright (1950) at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT Wednesday, Aug. 25: This under-rated Hitchcock thriller about a murder in London’s theatrical community is airing during Jane Wyman’s SUTS lineup. Hitchcock’s daughter, Pat, who passed away recently, has a droll supporting part as Wyman’s good-natured chum, Chubby Bannister.
4. ‘Til We Meet Again (1940) at midnight ET/9 pm PT Friday, Aug. 27: If you caught the iconic romance One Way Passage (1932) during Kay Francis’ SUTS day, you might want to check out the remake, which stars SUTS honoree Merle Oberon and George Brent. It isn’t quite as good as the original, but it’s still makes for a great night of movie escapism; plus, Frank McHugh reprises his role from the original as a small-time con man.
5. Finally, we’ll always have Casablanca (1942), which is airing at 6 pm ET/3 pm PT Sunday, Aug. 29 during Ingrid Bergman’s SUTS lineup.
Colin Murdoch’s “Classic Hollywood Portraits” series includes Janet Leigh from Psycho and Cary Grant from To Catch a Thief. 8x10 prints are available for $15 each at Gallery 1988.
