Hallmark AND Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel Cozy Christmas Movies – November 2020

November 1, 2020

November and daylight savings time are upon us! I absolutely cannot believe we’re already into what a lot of us think as the holiday seasons. Halloween is over and now we’re looking forward to Thanksgiving – which will undoubtedly be very, very different than our Thanksgivings of past years. 

I wasn’t quite sure about putting up my monthly Hallmark Cozy mystery movies blog entry this month, since there aren’t any mystery movies being shown during November. However, I decided to go ahead and remind those of you who enjoy the NEW Christmas movies on the channel what they will be showing during November. (It looks like they have changed some of the movies’ titles from what they posted earlier…)

Upcoming Mysteries on Turner Classic Movies for November 2020

October 28, 2020

I finally came to the realization that I really, really like Halloween-type B movies! During October I have been getting my fill of a whole lot of “scary” movies from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Mummies, bats, vampires, mad scientists… I just couldn’t get enough! I mean, before coming to this B-movie realization, I liked these movies, but I didn’t realize how much I look forward to October! But, now that it’s November, I’m going to have to wean myself off of those movies, and get back to my mystery movies.

Wow-zee! November’s theme must be Film Noirs! I’m delighted to tell you there will be (more than!) several film noir movies sprinkled throughout the month. So you don’t have to just wait until Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley weekly showings!

Here’s another highlight from this month on the Turner Classic Movies channel: director Alfred Hitchcock’s mystery movies will be featured starting the evening of November 26 (Thursday) and will continue through most of the 27th. Now that’s something to look forward to! Most of us have probably seen these movies countless times before, which is a testament to how good they are.

This month I have used the Eastern time zone on the Turner Classic Movies schedule. So, rather than Eddie Muller’s Noir Alley airing late Saturday night, it will be airing extremely early on Sunday morning on this eastern time zone. Actually, both of the airings of his monthly pick will be shown on Sunday morning on this eastern time zone schedule. I never miss his picks, and am especially grateful for his introductions and comments after the movies. He’s very detailed.
