This month is going to be a little different, since we have Halloween movies to enjoy. I know a lot of you enjoy Paranormal settings in your books, so I will be posting a special entry (in a few days) with the movies that feature Ghosts, Halloween/Horror, Vampires, and even one very early Christmas movie. For now, let’s just focus on the mystery movies that I have been able to find.
Here is the list of the mystery movies for the month of October 2014. I have gone through the Turner Classic Movies channel, as well as the PBS Masterpiece Mystery shows, and the Hallmark Movie channel mystery movies. I hope there are a few that you enjoy! (For those of you who have asked about the Jesse Stone mystery movies and the Mystery Woman mystery movies, please be sure to take a look at the bottom of this entry in the Hallmark Movie Channel section.)
As usual, if you know of any other mystery movie that will be airing during the month (October), please post a comment. We’d all love to know about it. Thank you!
