Reminder: This weekend on TCM…

Rev:  Get yourself in front of a TV tonight and just park yourself.

October 1st Friday
7:00 PM Horror of Dracula
8:30 Brides of Dracula
10:00 Dracula Prince of Darkness
11:45 Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
1:30 AM Psychomania
3:00 Daughters of Satan

Oct 2nd Saturday
5:15 PM The Land that Time Forgot

Oct 3rd Sunday
11:00 AM Wait Until Dark
11:30 Phantom Interesting-sounding silent film directed by Nosferatu helmer F.W. Murnau
Oct 5th Tuesday
Fredric March is the star of the month, and his first featured night features titles of interest, including
7:00 Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
11:45 I Married a Witch A charming comedy with Veronica Lake that certainly inspired the sitcom Bewitched.
1:15 Tick…Tick…Tick… A racial drama about a new black sheriff in a Southern town (shades of Blazing Saddles), starring March, Jim Brown and the inevitable George Kennedy. What, no Strother Martin?

  • The Rev.

    I’ll be recording all of those; I won’t get home until about 7:30, and I work tomorrow so I’m not staying up until five in the morning. I’ll want to watch the Drac movies in order, regardless if it’s all at once or over the course of nights.

  • But it’s missing TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA and THE SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA and THE SCARS OF DRACULA.

  • Not-So-Great Cthulhu

    And DRACULA A.D. 1972, and LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES.

  • See? So you may as well not watch ANY of them in protest.

  • The Rev.

    Well, I’ve already seen 1972 and Lot7GV, both on TNT years ago. I don’t think either of them will really affect the canon, especially since one of them’s not even in the same storyline and the other’s “in the future.”

    What? No Zoltan, Hound of Dracula? Bah!

  • Wow. I’m going to have to find someone out here to record these movies for me (after the fact, of course). For a nominal fee, you can get just about any movie recorded on DVD – as a custom order. That’s how my wife got me Night Gallery’s 1st and 2nd season recorded for me for my birthday. Cost? About 600 pesos for both seasons (about $15).

    Man, Psychomania did not age well. Assuming it ever wore well to begin with, which I’m starting to doubt.

    The same two screenwriters (Arnaud D’Usseau and Julian Halevy) also collaborated on the much more successful Horror Express. THAT, amigos, would have made a much more welcome addition to this month’s already generous TCM schedule. True, it ain’t Hammer horror, but it’s the next best thing.
