Film More Terror On TCM
Posted By Matt Brunson on Wed, Oct 31, 2007 at 11:29 AM
It’s Halloween, which means that Turner Classic Movies will spend the entire day showing classic horror films from decades past.
Nine disparate titles fill the slate from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m., including one genuine classic – 1963’s The Haunting (6 p.m.) – and one genuine turkey – Ed Wood’s 1955 Bride of the Monster (9 a.m.), starring Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson and a rubber octopus. Lugosi also turns up in 1940’s The Devil Bat (6 a.m.), while fellow horror icons Peter Cushing and Vincent Price star in, respectively, 1958’s The Revenge of Frankenstein (10:30 a.m.) and 1960’s House of Usher (4:30 p.m.).
Then from 8 p.m. until 6 a.m., the network will turn the spotlight on horror legend Boris Karloff in seven of his features. The roster includes 1933’s The Ghoul (8 p.m.), marking its TCM premiere; pairings opposite Lugosi in 1936’s The Invisible Ray (9:30 p.m.) and 1945’s The Body Snatcher (11 p.m.); and alongside Charles Laughton and Gloria Stuart (65 years before she played Old Rose in Titanic) in 1932’s The Old Dark House (12:30 a.m.).
