I don't know how this happened, but Michael Winner’s THE SENTINEL (1977) w/ Cristina Raines (and an all-star cast of familiar faces) is now on Netflix.

Excluding PSYCHO, THE BIRDS, and JAWS, it’s now their oldest horror movie.

Everybody watch it and we can totally game their algorithm.

Warner Bros. is now uploading classic LOONEY TUNES and TOM AND JERRY shorts to YouTube.

Tonight in 1970 — THE HOUSE THAT WOULD NOT DIE aired on the ABC MOVIE OF THE WEEK.

It’s Barbara Stanwyck vs. Revolutionary War ghosts in this spooky TV movie from director John Llewellyn Moxey.

Kitty Winn (THE PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK) is excellent in her debut. On Tubi.

Tonight in 1974 — Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper) took the subway to her wedding.

The MARY TYLER MOORE cast crossed over for this episode of its spinoff, which broke ratings records.

RHODA isn’t streaming, which is nuts. But this episode is on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wJO0I52w5Pw

IT (1927) w/ Clara Bow is on YouTube w/ Carl Davis's delightful score if you'd like to remember the maestro on what would have been his 88th b'day.

Farewell to Teri Garr, one of the most profoundly endearing actors of her era. She lived her life with grace.

Peter Cushing (1913-1994) will be "resurrected by AI" for a new documentary.

Producers say they have permission — unlike Disney, who claims the terms of Cushing's 1977 STAR WARS contract allowed them to digitally recreate him for ROGUE ONE (2016).

Tonight in 1976 — LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY debuted on ABC.

Ruth Gordon returned for this misbegotten made-for-TV sequel.

An interesting failure w/ a helluva cast, including Patty Duke as Rosemary + Stephen McHattie as her li'l devil.

HALLOWEENTOWN (1998) w/ Debbie Reynolds is 4th on Disney Plus's new Top 10 movies ranking.

50 years after her film debut, Debbie was still charming a new generation of viewers. 🧡

I hope everybody's eating chocolate mouse in honor of Ruth Gordon's birthday.

Tonight in 1938 — Orson Welles’s "The War of the Worlds” aired on CBS radio. 🛸

The MERCURY THEATER ON THE AIR adaptation of H. G. Wells's novel caused many to believe we were under attack from “invading Martians.” 👽

Tonight in 1961 — Elizabeth Montgomery (age 28) guest starred on Boris Karloff's THRILLER.

The future Samantha Stephens co-stars w/ Tom Poston and John Carradine in this spooky tale set in the PSYCHO house.

Stick around for the twist ending! On YouTube: youtu.be/slBczEWMNZQ

Robert Wise's THE HAUNTING (1963) is on Tubi and I can't imagine a better way to close out Halloween season.

It's visually stunning and emotionally resonant.

Not enough people talk about The Roku Channel, which has fewer ads than any other ad-supported streamer I've watched — and more pre-1980 movies + shows (including stuff you can't find elsewhere).

I'm glad to see their viewership is way up.

Find a man who loves you like Buster Keaton loves Brown Eyes the cow in GO WEST (1925).

It’s streaming on Tubi and Kanopy (free with a library card) if you’d like to celebrate the 99th anniversary.

This is the 2018 restoration w/ a beautiful score by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
