October On TCM

Janet Leigh Psycho
It is time once again for the Hollywood Revue's monthly preview of programming on Turner Classic Movies.  Being October, there will be plenty of Halloween fare, including ghost stories every Thursday.  Janet Leigh will be the Star of the Month, with her films airing every Wednesday.  For fans of animation, October 6 will be a night to remember, as TCM will air 28 shorts from Windsor McCay, Bray Studios and Van Bueren Studios, all pioneers in 20th Century animation.
