Early this morning I watched the 1942 version of Cat People on TCM. It wasn't scary, but it wasn't a bad way to kick off Halloween.

And I have to say, on further viewing, that TCM is superiour to AMC because the latter's bringing in some fairly modern and mediocre stuff that we've all seen --or avoided--before. AMC is doing a big block of all the substandard Halloween movies today, followed, I believe by stuff like Jeepers Creepers and Resident Evil. And FX is also doing a horror marathon, but they do are doing a lot of more modern junk. I'm not sure which of those two is doing which movies, but I remember seeing things like the Resident Evil, the horrible modern remake of "House on Haunted Hill" (the original is still a classic), etc. Maybe TCM owns more of the classics. And even though some of the old B&W films aren't that scary to me now, they somehow bring me more joy than a lot of the FX- and gore-heavy over- adrenalized films that pass for horror nowadasy. "House on Haunted Hill", for example, is an embarrassment in its lack of true chills. So TCM for me, baby! > > ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- > From: "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker013@ ...> > I've been watching TCM's offerings all night long. So far, "Tales of the Dead" has been tops, because of that cool French existentialistic angle.

Both cable channels AMC and TCM are showing horror movies all day. They started at least yesterday, though I've been watching stuff on TCM in the evenings all week. Since they have so many hours to fill, movies are going all the way back to B&W classics starting the likes of Karloff and Chaney (so funny to watch the villagers with their pitchforks and torches coming after the monster!) to more modern fare like "The Fly" remake. > It's reall enjoyable, especially checking out the old classics. Now I see why SciFi doens't show more of the classic stuff--the other stations own it. >
