The Film Detective, a classic film and television company, is celebrating Halloween this year by premiering “31 Hours of Horror” starting on Halloween Eve and going into “All Saints Day.”
Bringing audiences frightening tales from the grave and beyond, The Film Detective fills its lineup with movies starring horror icons like Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, and Vincent Price. The roster will satisfy horror fans who are looking for less CGI and gore, and more classic Vampires, Zombies, and Ghouls that are sure to scare you to your core.
Starting Halloween Eve on The Film Detective’s channel, classic horror fans can binge 31 hours of films including “The Bat” (1959), “Revolt of the Zombies” (1936), “The Monster Walks” (1932), and “Indestructible Man” (1956).
True horror fanatics will be delighted to kick off the evening with “White Zombie” (1932), the Bela Lugosi classic that is considered to be the first zombie film ever made, as well as witness the famous color sequence in “Phantom of the Opera” (1925). For the trick-or-treaters out there who are still not ready to leave the pumpkin patch, The Film Detective offers “friendly” monster films such as “Panther’s Claw” (1942), “Phantom from 10,000 Leagues” (1955), and “The Gorilla” (1939).
Looking for something more bone-chilling? Later in the evening, braver audiences can catch strangler and slasher films like “Teenage Strangler” (1964), and “Hands of a Stranger” (1962). Be sure to stay up until midnight, as this will be the last chance for fans to catch the gory “Night of the Living Dead” (1968) during its 50th anniversary Halloween season. Creatures of the night who will be out on Halloween can come home to classics like “House on Haunted Hill” (1959), “Invisible Ghost” (1941), and the newly HD restored version of “A Bucket of Blood” (1959), which will be airing through to the next morning. With vintage monsters, murderers, and more, viewers won’t want to miss a minute of these eerie classic horror films. Catch “31 Hours of Horror” on The Film Detective channel through the Hollywood Extras package, available for $5 per month with a subscription to Sling Orange and/or Sling Blue.
