Halloween is one of my favorite seasons

Seasons, since the weather is turning cooler, the leaves are changing color and horror films are found on the tube.  While most of the 1000 TV channels favor the contemporary films that are filled with blood and guts, I prefer the classics from the 1930s-1950s.

Tonight on Turner Classics is

8:00 PM
HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1958)
 
A millionaire offers total strangers a fortune to spend the night in a haunted house.

and tomorrow

8:00 PM
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)
 
A space probe unleashes microbes that turn the dead into flesh-eating zombies.
