Looking to maximize your scary-movie viewing this October? Weve got you thoroughly covered.
One of the best parts of Octobers annual Halloween-stravaganza is that your TV is chock full of horror movies. (Or at least it should be; SHAME on the cable channels that shirk their Halloween duty.) Keeping up with the bounty can be a challenge, so we are here for you with a scouring of the cable grid to find you the best horror offerings on basic cable (sorry, HBO and Showtime). Use this guide to have your DVRs groaning under the weight of all the horror it can bear. Happy viewing, everybody!
