31 Days of Horror: Creepshow (1982)

Great stories by Stephen King, and great actors such as Leslie Nielson, Hal Holbrook, Fritz Weaver, E.G. Marshall as the stars. This also has a great comic book stylization for all of the stories that makes you think of the Tales from the Crypt comics, although there's no relation.

31 Days of Horror: Tales of Terror (1962)

Another great anthology series starring Vincent Price!

31 Days of Horror: Tales From The Crypt (1972)

One of my favorites, the original Tales From The Crypt

31 Days of Horror: Twice Told Tales (1963)

Twice Told Tales is an anthology of Nathaniel Hawthorne stories that gives you more horror bang for your buck. Though the film contains three different stories (Dr. Heidegger's Experiment, Rappaccini's Daughter, and The House of the Seven Gables), there's a feeling of continuity throughout the film because Vincent Price stars in all three of the tales. You get everything with this film: a haunted house, murder, people returning from the dead, people turning to skeletons, poison........it's all here! 

You van watch this classic on TCM on October 31st at 2:45 AM eastern

31 Days of Horror: Dead of Night

I just discovered this film and it's already one of my favorites! Dead of Night can best be described as a circular anthology; meaning that it ends up back where it started and it also contains different stories told by the visitors at a country house. There are five different stories, separate from the main story, and each one gets creepier as you go along. However, when you get to the fourth story it's a little more lighthearted, which sort of lulls the viewer into a false sense of security before the final tale involving a ventriloquist (played by Michael Redgrave) and his dummy, which is by far the creepiest and most memorable. Whenever this film is mentioned, the final tale is the most talked about and with good reason; Michael Redgrave's performance is quite honestly terrifying, and anytime you have a story involving a ventriloquist's dummy you just can't help but be creeped out!. And even when that story is over, the terror continues once we resume the main story, which ends up revisiting each of the separate stories that had been told. Dead of Night might not be one of the best known horror films, but it's a masterful tale of terror, expertly told, and should be on everyone's Halloween viewing list!
