If you like the old black & white Sherlock Holmes movies, then make sure to set your DVRs on Wednesday (October 5). There are a few Basil Rathbone movies airing that day. I was really pleased to see them listed (since I really like Basil Rathbone) in October. Usually Turner Classic Movies features mostly Halloween-type movies during the Halloween month.<\/p>\n
And, speaking of “Halloween-type” movies… I know I have mentioned (several times) how much I like watching the old Dracula\/Frankenstein\/etc movies during October. Well, on Tuesday (October 25) Turner Classic Movies will be airing several Christophen Lee Dracula movies. I usually watch them every October. October is my month for Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, & Peter Cushing movies. (Yes, I know this is a mystery site, but October just brings this love of old light “horror” movies out in me. I especially like the really campy ones. (I don’t like the more recent horror\/slasher movies!)<\/p>\n
