Octoberfest 2018: TCM Halloween Lineup


Hi! I've been sharing the TCM Halloween lineup every year as part of Octoberfest mainly to suit those who either have no life and intend to be at home on Halloween or those who can't wait for a day of classic horror films. I am part of the 'all of the above' crowd, so this lineup is right up my alley. lol #ATVLoserSquad stand up. 😂This year TCM's featuring one of the kings of classic horror, Mr. Vincent Price, so the primetime lineup will be dedicated to a few of his films. Come check out what's on TCM's lineup for this Halloween! OAN, I'm getting SUTS flashbacks with the formatting of this post. lol
