Turner Classic Movies presents Fright Favorites, a collection of monster greats, modern and classic horror, and family-friendly cinematic treats that capture the spirit of Halloween, complete with reviews, behind-the-scenes stories, and iconic images. It's a film festival for your coffee table!
Fright Favourites spotlights 31 essential Halloween-time films, their associated sequels and remakes, and recommendations to expand your seasonal repertoire based on your favourites. Featured titles include Nosferatu (1922), Dracula (1931), Cat People (1942), Them (1953), House on Haunted Hill (1959), Black Sunday (1960), Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Young Frankenstein (1976), Beetlejuice (1988), Get Out (2017), Hocus Pocus (1993) and many more.
Presented in a style befitting classic horror films: as double features. This means there are actually 62 films featured. For example, the entry for “Dracula” (1931) also offers a separate look at “Mark of the Vampire” (1935). With “Creature from the Black Lagoon” (1954), Skal recommends the Oscar-winning “The Shape of Water” (2017).
