Get ready to stay up late and keep your hand away from the remote all October with a candy basket full of classic horror all month long on TCM!
Terror-thon leads the way out of the cemetery, starting on Sunday, October 29 at 9:45 pm ET with The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case and ending well past the midnight hour at 4:45 am ET on November 1 with Spider Baby. Fans will get plenty of Universal and Hammer horror in between the two bookends, along with a few more modern fright flicks.
Creepy Cinema also returns this year all throughout October on Tuesdays, with hosts Mario Cantone and Ben Mankiewicz profiling twisted murder mysteries and classics with horror elements during primetime (8:00-11:00 pm) such as Brian DePalma’s Dressed to Kill.
