October on Turner Classic Movies

The Hollywood Revue once again does a nice monthly summary of the movies on TCM in October, so mark your calendars and set your DVR's.  Get set for some classic horror films!
Every Sunday night will be all Buster Keaton, all night long. Not only that, since it’s October, it goes without saying that there will be plenty of classic horror movies to get you into the Halloween spirit. Monday nights are classic horror nights starting at 8:00 PM, with plenty more to come on October 29th , 30th, and 31st. TCM will also be commemorating the 100th birthday of director Nicholas Ray by playing a night of his movies every Tuesday night this month.
