The Midnight Cinephile's Halloween 2019 TV Guide - Movie Edition

     It's the most wonderful time of the year!  Leaves are turning brilliant colors, the air if finally cooling to a perfect crisp, and everything takes on a pumpkin spice tinge.  Apparently, even SPAM. But, I digress. Most importantly, this is the time of year when television gets a spooky vibe everywhere you look!

     I can think of no better way to kick of Midnight Cinephile's brand new site (which is still on blogger and looks mysteriously like the old site.....) than to give you the goods on where to find the spooky stuff this Halloween season! 

This list is by no means the end all, be all of guides...but it's what's on my radar.

First up is FreeForm (Formerly ABC Family) with their EXTREMELY redundant line-up.
I hope you guys dig HOCUS POCUS, because they're showing it TWENTY SEVEN times!
Sheeeeesh.

Also.....Mrs. Doubtfire? Hook?  Iron Man???  How the hell are those Halloween flicks????

Syfy's 31 Days of Halloween has MORE variety, but still a hell of a lot of repeats as well as some flicks that really make you scratch your head trying to figure out why they are part of a Halloween marathon.  I mean....Power Rangers? Hunger Games? Captain America?????  I mean it's getting a bit better in the variety department, but what's with adding regular movies?

 Oh, AMC....the once king of Halloween marathons has in the past few years become a mockery of itself.  Endless Walking Dead marathons and the same 20 movies on heavy rotation.
I'm happy to say that this year they've done away with the Walkind Deadathons, but their movie selection hasn't gotten a whole lot better.
The airtimes haven't been released yet, that I know of, but here's the list of movies being shown.
More Friday the 13th, Final Destination, Alien and Pet Sematary.   Dont' get me wrong.  I like all those franchises, but they're shown TO DEATH during the entire rest of the year.  Maybe dig a little deeper into your archives and give us something special for Halloween?  What happened to the days of showing stuff like Island of the Burning Doomed and Flesh Eaters?  Where's the weird shit!
Also, you took the majority of the Halloween franchise off the regular rotation only to stick it on uncut for people who subscribe to your premier channel?  Weak sauce.

In addition to all this kaiju goodness, there's also a rare showing of Goke: Body Snatcher From Hell!  NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Kudos to you, TCM!

  1. I saw Hocus Pocus once when it hit video after it's release. Wasn't a bad movie, but I don't foresee watching it again. Mrs. Doubtfire I'm sure I'll never watch again, any time of year. I don't think I even have the ability to watch normal networks at this point, but luckily I've built up a sizable archive of things on a hard drive hooked up to my TV.

    1. I do enjoy Hocus Pocus for an annual watch. But once per year does it for me.
      I've got a pretty sizable film collection myself, but I'm still a sucker for live TV....haven't been able to cut the cord just yet.
