TCM's Fright Favorites

Could 2020 feel more like a real-life horror movie? That's why TCM is bringing you the best classic, spine-tingling chills to escape into and shut out the real world for a few hours. TCM host Ben Mankiewicz is joined by David J. Skal, critic and author of TCM's horror anthology "Fright Favorites: 31 Movies to Haunt Your Halloween and Beyond," in presenting a weekly evening featuring some of classic cinema's eeriest, creepiest and most terrifying films.

Take a look at this video montage of some of the featured classic Fright Favorites played along to "All Hallows Eve!" Song: "Li'l Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham and The Pharaohs.
