Turner Classic Movies...



I think it is so important to watch or re watch the old horror classics. You really can't understand just how far the genre has gone from it's unique and humble beginnings. Some may say for the worst... I tend to think everything evolves into what it is, based on what the audience is willing to pay for. Either way, you have to have at least an appreciation for the classics to understand just how ground breaking it was in the 20's and the 30's. I love many of the old classics as I have said before. On Turner Classic Movies there are many of the old classics on in the month of October that I have put on this post. There are many more, and in fact, on the 30th and the 31st there are horror movies all day. I just put on the ones I really like. At the end of the month I put on 3 of my favorite Vincent Price movies. The House of Usher and The Haunted Palace are GREAT! I can't recommend them enough... enjoy the horror of it all!
