Hammer Horror Fridays on TCM

| By

We here at Infinite Hollywood are big fans of Hammer’s Horror films, so we thought it best to mention that TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is running a HAMMER HORROR FESTIVAL all month long. Unfortunately it’s not quite as robust or as frequent as we’d like. Still, every Friday this month TCM is running four classic Hammer Horror films. Turner Classic Movies is adding seven new Hammer Horror films to their archives during this run, so it is a nice addition to their lineup.

Friday, October 15,2010 Starting at 8:00 PM The Mummy (1959) Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb The Mummy’s Shroud Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb Friday, October 22,2010 Starting at 8:00 PM X the Unknown Five Million Years to Earth These Are the Damned The Stranglers of Bombay Friday, October 29,2010 Starting at 8:00 PM The Curse of Frankenstein The Revenge of Frankenstein Frankenstein Created Woman Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed Obviously both the Mummy weekend and the Frankenstein weekend will be must-see TV for horror buffs. That said, it’s nice to see some lesser known Hammer Horror get in on the action, like the Stranglers of Bombay. So if you’re looking for some fresh horror films this Halloween, check out the movies on TCM from Hammer. Grab some popcorn and watch Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee entertain you with some bone chillers.

The first week was Dracula, so the big star has already passed. Two weekends are already in the books, but the next three weekends have some decent lineups. If you’ve got a craving for horror you should stop by TCM. Here is the schedule if you’re looking for a little bit of a different take on horror films:
