TCM Scares Up Some Scares That Don't Compare To 2020
October is always a hoot at Turner Classic Movies, but this year there are more scares off the TV screen than on. TCM assures us that, in a fun (in a twisted kind of way) trailer that still emphasizes the classic movie channel's Halloween-time lineup of all manner of menacing movies, the onscreen monsters are less scary than what we are facing each day IRL. It's worth noting that, after a number of years with October's TCM Star of the Month as the Monster of the Month, this year the cable channel is back to a Star, but a Star who has played a monster or two, Peter Cushing. So check out TCM's spooky season lineup, especially on Fright Favorites on Fridays, hosted by author and horror movie expert, David J. Skal. It's all part of the Countdown to Halloween 2020. Be sure and click on the preceding link and visit some of the other participating Crypt Keepers for more spook-time fun.

While the streaming services I have and my collection of horror films ought to keep me busy, I do regret not having regular tv service in October. Back in high school and college I loved seeing what was on the various channels, including TCM, during October. I discovered some real horror gems that way.
I do miss TCM, since I have cut the cord with cable. Streaming offers lots of alternatives, but something unique about watching at the same time as an untold number of strangers around the world.
