Turner Classic Movies kicks off the Halloween weekend with psychological thrillers, as it winds up its "A Night at the Movies" series for October. Go with bad husband Louis Jourdan in Gaslight and Hitchcock's Psycho (it's getting really dated, but still fun for Anthony Perkins alone).
On Saturday, take The Haunting, a pretty good haunted-house outing with Claire Bloom, and Cat People, the Val Lewton noir thriller about people with a pedigree. (They should have shown this as a double feature with the 1982 remake starring Natassia Kinski. Good movie.)
On Sunday, I'd pick a frothy, light-hearted little Jack Lemmon number, How to Murder Your Wife. Despite dated attitudes about women, it's fun. And for my sci-fi fix, the fantastic Forbidden Planet.
Enjoy!
