Hi! With Octoberfest wrapping up on Tuesday, I always show the lineup of films on TCM for Halloween a couple of days early in case you're part of #ATVLoserSquad like me and intend to spend the night in your pajamas (costume optional), curled up with food and films to keep you company. The previous years I ended the series with the day's lineup and last minute Halloween makeup ideas but this year I wanted to end it with one last creepy post instead, so I moved this one up a couple of days. Here's this year's TCM lineup for Halloween.

A mystery writer rents out a spooky mansion for the summer but turns amateur sleuth as she and her maid attempt to hunt down a killer.
While I was going through this year's list, I thought a lot of the movie titles looked familiar. I didn't think anything of it at first; I've seen many of these films before. But when I went back to previous Halloween lineup posts to make sure I was formatting this one correctly, that's when I realized that many of today's films were on the lineup in 2015. A couple of them were on that list, last year's and this one. I'm guessing they're TCM signature films for Halloween, but hopefully next year's list has a little more variety. I'm complaining, but I'm still gonna watch. lol I'll see you in a few days with the last post in this year's Octoberfest!
