I don&#8217;t know if other people have been so struck by this, but it seems to me that TCM is moving toward presenting more &#8220;current&#8221; movies these days. (when I say &#8220;current&#8221; I mean movies from the 1960s and 1970s.) I&#8217;ve been a fan of the channel for many years, and I don&#8217;t remember a time when the Golden Era of Hollywood was not the main focus of the channel&#8217;s movies. Hmmm&#8230; Have any of you noticed this, too? And if so, what do you think about it?<\/p>\n<p>On another note, since it&#8217;s October, Turner Classic Movies is going to be showing a lot of &#8220;Halloweeny&#8221; type movies. So, if you love the old Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price (etc.) movies, then you&#8217;re in for a treat this month! (I&#8217;m not going to list them, but be sure to be on the lookout for them &#8211; if you enjoy them. I watch the same &#8220;Halloweeny&#8221; type movies year after year&#8230; I never get tired of them!) Also, while I&#8217;m not talking about movies that happen to be mysteries &#8211; for those of you who enjoy the old Dr. Kildare movies, Turner Classic Movies will be airing five of them on Wednesday the 21st of October.<\/p>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h3>TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES CHANNEL MYSTERY MOVIES \u2013 OCTOBER 2020<\/h3>\n<p>***** ***** ***** *****<\/p>\n<h3>Thursday &#8211; October 1<\/h3>\n<p>3:00 PM<br \/>\n<strong>TWENTY PLUS TWO (1961)<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen a Hollywood secretary is found murdered, a detective is hired to investigate the murder.<br \/>\nDir:\u00a0 Joseph M.
