ryanmacleod03 Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi, I was just curious, does TCM have any plans for debuing any more of Universal's classic horror films in October? Like any of the Mummy, Dracula,Invisible Man creature sequels, as well as Werewolf of London, the 1943 version of Phantom of the Opera, or any of the studios more obscure stuff, like Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), or Paramounts Island of Lost Souls (1932)? Any more Hammer fims? like letterboxed versions of Curse of the Werewolf, and Phantom of the Opera(1963)? I would greatly appriciate any info. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
moviegeek3000 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Not a TCM programmer, but I GUARANTEE you see one helluva lineup for OCTOBER. Last year TCM did a month long tribute to BORIS KARLOFF & HAMMER FILMS Saw unique Karloff from WALKING DEAD to DEVIL'S ISLAND & MASK OF FU MANCHU Hammer gems like: HORROR OF DRACULA, REPTILE & DEVIL'S BRIDE....something-i don't what- happened on the last film the had scheduled: LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES was subed with DEVIL'S OWN.....which was tragic Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmacleod03 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 When are you guys gonna post the October schedule? Don't you usually post it on the 15th? I just hope the list of classic horror titles is worth the wait. Link to post Share on other sites
leobertucelli Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I second that notion. Too often in the past all they showed was same ol - same ol--know what I mean? I bet U do! Link to post Share on other sites
classicsstarlets Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 It sure would be great to finally have October and November and December and January and so on with lots and lots of movies that TCM hardly ever shows!! I have requested lots of movies that they own but never show anymore. Movies such as THE SINGING KID, THE CAPTAIN'S KID , BELOVED BRAT, OBLIGING YOUNG LADY, PETTICOAT LARCENY, UNFINISHED DANCE, THE BIG CITY (1948) and many others but, all they do is show the same movies over and over, month after month, month after month after month and it is so BORING! When they finally put up their new month of listings, I get excited just to be let down as it just is the same movies once again! Lets hope that TCM will start showing the other movies they own!

ryanmacleod03 Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 I sure do know what you mean leo, before last year, TCM would just show horror films it owned, even though TCM has some really good ones like the Lon Chaney silents, Freaks, Mad Love, King Kong etc, Id much rather have a variety and watch the classic horrors of Universal, and Paramount on Halloween, thats why I thought last year's Hammmer/Universal marathon in October was a just great!

richardny4me Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Great, someone else is requesting UNFINISHED DANCE ! I hope between both of our requests they finally air it. Link to post Share on other sites
chrtbsh Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 This October there will be a bunch of horror, but it won't be a lot of new stuff, unfortunately. Like many of you, I was very happy to be able to do the Hammer festival last year. This year it's going to be the Universal horror titles (all of which have played already) combined with our library, and a few miscellaneous films in there. There will be the premiere of the Louis Feuillade serial "Judex" - not so much horror, but a great crime drama from 1916, the restoration of which we're very proud to have funded . I think it's a great schedule. Link to post Share on other sites
leobertucelli Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 But from 1916? Hey don't be offended but surely there must be horror films or thrillers ffom the 50's and 60's that to me would've been a bit better. Hummm? Link to post Share on other sites
loliteblue Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 tcm programmer How wonderful ! Can't wait for the festival 1916 hooray hooray thanks for obtaining this film & the hard work putting it together lolite. Link to post Share on other sites
classicsfan1119 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 TCM Programmer: The vast majority of us here couldn't be more happy with your programming/scheduling, and we're very proud of your outstanding restorations of the wonderful Silents, like "Greed". You've thanked us for our support, and we also thank you for continuing to make TCM the best Classic Movie network we could ask for. Good job! :)ML Link to post Share on other sites
cstimpy25 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 1 thing i'm glad about though is that TCM doesn't show commercial during their movies! the logo's i can stand that's no biggie cuz The Sci-Fi Channel does the same thing so my point is i'm use 2 it. but AMC ****'s NOW! they show movies THAT AREN'T CLASSIC'S at all! also at least TCM which does make a habit of repeating the SAME movis Over & over depening on which 1 of course! like Rear Window 4 example. but least they ALSO show different movies AMC shows basically the SAME movies EVERY MONTH! true TCM also has a habit of it but NOT as much as AMC! b4 i go i just have 2 say i can't wait till "The Horror Channel" comes in October i think it is?
