Hey, I'm in the same boat as you! I've been slowly collecting horror movies over the last year (my brain was subconsciously preparing for this month, I guess) and I'm just gonna go all out. The theater I work at will be showing Night of the Living Dead as well as the original Friday the 13th, Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, one each weekend in October, and between those, the movies I own, and a few others I'll fill out the list with, I'm gonna try to do 31 movies in 31 days. The four I named are already on the list, as well as Shin Godzilla (because I'm flying out of Chicago the day after it opens there, so why the gently caress not make a quick stop to see it?) and a few others in my collection. I'll post again when I start watching them and look at the movies in my collection.

I recently discovered the joys of TCM, and they really are going all out this October. I made a list of all of the movies I want to watch or record to watch later, and I figured I'd share it with y'all. I didn't get everything, but I got everything from the theme nights (their "Stars of the Month" are Christopher Lee and Frankenstein, so expect a lot of Hammer Horror and Frankenstein movies) and a bunch of the rest of the great movies they've got. God help you without DVRs though because a good portion of these movies are showing at ungodly hours in the night (or for you night owls, at like 8am). I bolded some of the absolute stone cold classics they've got going, but there's enough variety here for everyone. All times are CST: Roar (1am 10/1) Frankenstein (7pm 10/2) Bride of Frankenstein (8:30pm 10/2) Curse of the Cat People (3:45am 10/3) Nosferatu (7pm 10/7) The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (8:45pm 10/7) Phantom of the Opera (12am 10/8) The Zodiac Killer (1am 10/9) The Town that Dreaded Sundown (2:30am 10/9) Hausu (1am 10/10) The Haunting (2:30am 10/10) The Face of Fu Manchu (7pm 10/10) The Little Shop of Horrors (10:30 10/14) The Innocents (7pm 10/15) The Curse of Frankenstein (7pm 10/16) The Revenge of Frankenstein (8:45 10/16) Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell (1am 10/17) The X from Outer Space (2:30am 10/17) She (5pm 10/17) Horror Hotel (7pm 10/17) Horror Express (8:30pm 10/17) The House That Dripped Blood (10:15pm 10/17) The Woman who Wouldn’t Die (4:45am 10/18) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) (5:15pm 10/18) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941) (7pm 10/21) Eyes Without a Face (9pm 10/21) The Body Snatcher (10:45pm 10/21) Jaws (7pm 10/22) Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed! (9pm 10/23) Epidemic (1am 10/24) The Satan Bug (3am 10/24) The Gorgon (2:15pm 10/24) Rasputin - The Mad Monk (5:15pm 10/24) Horror of Dracula (7pm 10/24) Dracula - Prince of Darkness (8:30pm 10/24) Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (10:15pm 10/24) Logan’s Run (3:15pm 10/26) Soylent Green (5:15pm 10/26) Dracula (7pm 10/28) The Mummy (8:30pm 10/28) The Invisible Man (10pm 10/28) The Wolf Man (11:15pm 10/28) The Black Cat (12:30am 10/29) The Uninvited (1:45am 10/29) Island of Lost Souls (3:30am 10/29) The Devil-Doll (5am 10/29) Bedlam (8am 10/29) The Black Scorpion (11am 10/29) The Blob (12:45pm 10/29) Village of the Damned (2:15pm 10/29) The Thing from Another World (3:45pm 10/29) Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (5:30pm 10/29) Blood and Black Lace (7pm 10/29) Carnival of Souls (8:30pm 10/29) It’s Alive (10pm 10/29) The Hunchback of Notre Dame (12:30pm 10/30) Young Frankenstein (7pm 10/30) The Monster (11pm 10/30) Diabolique (1am 10/31) Gaslight (3am 10/31) Mark of the Vampire (5am 10/31) Cat People (6:15am 10/31) I Walked with A Zombie (7:30am 10/31) Dementia 13 (8:45am 10/31) House of Wax (10:15am 10/31) Black Sabbath (11:45am 10/31) Dead of Night (1:30pm 10/31) House on Haunted Hill (3:30pm 10/31) The Haunting (5pm 10/31) The Devil’s Bride (7pm 10/31) The Mummy (1959) (8:45pm 10/31) The Hound of the Baskervilles (10:30pm 10/31) Scream of Fear (12:15am 11/1)

What better way to start off a horror month than Frankenstein (1) and Bride of Frankenstein (2)? I'm coming into most of the classics without having seen them before, and I'm glad I started with these two, they're really fantastic (which should go without saying). I do think I like the original a bit better, despite the second clearly having a bigger budget (some things in Hollywood never change). The original has much better pacing and a better Elizabeth, and there's no obnoxious loud maid. Both have amazing atmosphere and setting, but I think the biggest difference is the use of sound in the original. The scenes set in the village have this constant cacophony of voices and music and happiness, which contrast really well with the scenes of the monster all being comparatively silent, especially the scene with the little girl. And when the mood turns from celebratory to a hunting party, the cacophony follows the angry men hunting the monster. It really served to highlight Karloff's performance. He does so much with just animalistic sounds and and his face and physicality. Boy howdy is that a magnificent performance. I feel like there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but even though this isn't the origin of horror, I feel like there's really no better place to start, maybe save Dracula (which doesn't air on TCM until the end of the month so that's when I'll be watching it).
