ATV Octoberfest 14: TCM Halloween Lineup


Hi! Can you believe this month is nearly over already? I wanted to post this a day early so that you'd have enough time to look over the schedule and see if there's anything you'd like to watch tomorrow. This is most of TCM's lineup for tomorrow; after the last movie airs there'll be a lot of shorts and I wasn't crazy about the descriptions I read so I didn't include them in the list. Let's look at the lineup!


TCM Halloween Lineup (all times in EST)

A pathologist discovers a mysterious organism that materializes on human spines and causes its victims to tingle in order to feed on their fear once they become frightened.

6:15PM The Devil Rides Out (1968) Christopher Lee, Charles Gray, Nike Arrighi

8PM The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) George Sanders, Hurd Hatfield, Donna Reed

After the unsolved murder of a human citizen, a expert in vampirism suspects a coven of vampires are behind it and begins to investigate, but it may be another suspect entirely. 




It relieves me greatly to see that the day will be full of horror flicks; I didn't watch TCM last year but I was more than a little disappointed that there weren't more Halloween films in general. If there's any day of the year that I'd volunteer to be scared, it'd be Halloween and that's the way I intend to spend it. After painting my face and scaring my sister (it's become a tradition that I'm sure she hates, but it's fine LOL), I fully intend to DirecTV and chill alone, with the lights off and a pillow for companionship. If you've ever wondered what a night in the life of a loser looks like, there ya go. See you tomorrow!
