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.
Creature from the Black Lagoon iron-on (1970s)
Topps Creature Feature “Monster Hall of Fame” stickers (1980)
Creature from the Black Lagoon 3-D Super 8mm
(Universal Eight/Castle Films 1977)
According to my watch, we’re about due a gritty reboot of Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker. Until we have to endure THAT, please enjoy my interpretation of 1990’s best film as a classic Universal monster movie.
The Mummy (1932).
