Oh my gosh, FALL is finally here! I have to keep reminding myself that it’s autumn, since, as I type this, it’s 97* >>> but wait for it, our temperature has one more forecasted degree to go. Yikes!<\/p>\n

Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I will be telling you about the Turner Classic Movies (TCM)channel’s mystery and crime movies this month, but that I will not just be watching the mystery movies, but I’ll be DVR-ing my old horror\/science-fiction movies to watch during Halloween’s month. That’s right, I am a fan of the old Dracula-type movies… Luckily, TCM has a bunch of old movies starring Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi… and probably some other actors I have missed. (Neither my daughter nor my son have inherited my penchant for those old scary movies, and my husband doesn’t watch them either, so it’s a solitary enjoyment for me!)<\/p>\n

There are several Alfred Hitchcock mystery movies that will be showing this month, and some old crime movies will also be sprinkled in during October 2025. Something that I think will be new for TCM during October is a showing of a bunch of old “Man from U.N.C.L.E. movies from the 1960s. (They star Robert Vaughn and David McCallum.)<\/p>\n
