Please show, Rasputin: The Mad Monk, and To The Devil A Daughter. Both starring Christopher Lee. I haven’t seen either of these films and I don’t want to purchase them on DVD until I see them.
Would love to see Invasion of the BodySnatchers, especially the original with Kevin Mc Carthage’s…remake with Donald Sutherland also a good one!!
The Haunting with Julie Harris is always aMUST…Thank You! What happened to a Psycho???
Do you have the film INVADERS FROM MARS?
I would include “She” (1965) @ 00:30 EDT, Tuesday 13 October.
I love TCM even more when they break away from their RomCom addiction.
Thank You for looking outside the box.
P.S. You could rerun a few miniseries that your company (Turner Network) produced like: Bette Davis in The Dark Secret Of Harvest Home (1978).
WOW!! THAT is a GREAT idea…and with Thomas Tryon (the author side) in mind….how about “THE OTHER!?!”
Would like to see an airing of Universal’s “The Invisible Man” and a few sequels. Also “The Shuttered Room” from 1967. A TCM Underground airing of “The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant” with Bruce Dern would be great! Also have some requests for Non-Halloween/Horror Films that we would like to see. Will add a few titles if you have a section for those. Happy Halloween 2020 TCM, Masks Optional…
You forgot to add Corruption (1968) on the list. It will air on Tuesday, October 8, 4:00AM EST. Also Death Curse of Tartu came out in 1966.
TCM is the best!
Love seeing what TCM has to offer since, to me, AMC’s line-up has gone downhill ever since MonsterFest became FearFest in 2008. Plus, this year Peter Cushing is TCM’s “Star of the Month” for October, so Monday nights’ movies are dedicated to him! Gonna be a great October on TCM.
I’m a little disappointed there aren’t many Vincent Price movies or Alfred Hitchcock on schedule, but still very excited to see some of my faves on here, and to check out some I haven’t seen before. Also October 23rd’s lineup you listed is incorrect- their website lists Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Blob & The Tingler! I love it!
Thank you for catching that, all updated 🎃
Only eight Vincent Price movies are featured this year.
Yes, 8 out of all 31 days. House on Haunted Hill is my favorite, and they usually show it more than once- but oh well, it is still a good lineup!
For Admin, for those of us living is time zones other than Eastern, could you allow an option for different time zones?
Thank you for the idea David, I will see what we can do!
I love TCM! They should include ‘The Monster That Challenged the World’ and ‘Day of the Triffids’. Those were actually pretty scary movies for back in the 50’s/60’s. (I remember those from the ‘Creature Double Feature’ on Saturdays back in the day!)
Not bad but I was hoping for more Mummy movies from Hammer and a few more Werewolf one s as well.
Additionally, Peter Cushing is Star of the Month in October!!!!!! woot woot
It’s a good line up for Halloween. But I’d like too see more from hammer studio. Like Dracula has risen from the grave.
Wait!!! You forgot “The Tingler”!!

Happy Halloween everyone
Happy Halloween Aretha
Happy Halloween Aretha!
Presumably all these are shown in the US, they’re not listed on the UK Sky TCM channel?
A print tab and print friendly schedule would be a really nice feature! Thanks
