Here are a few films on Sundance, Fox Movies and TCM for the month of October that you might be interested. Remember, films may be edited, time compressed, in the wrong aspect ratio, or have rando porno frames inserted into them for the lulz. You know how it goes.

To make it easier on myself (lazy) I’m going to just list movies instead of doing a full description this month. Note that there is some overlap in the two columns I have below; some silents and pre-codes will also be horror flicks and will be listed in the Horror column. Yeah, I know, this is easier for me but not necessarily easier for you.
For TCM completists (which I hope is all of you) /2012/08/coming-distractions-october-2012-on-tcm.html”>Ivan has a much more in-depth post of TCM listings for this month, so check it out!
