Monsterfest X

There was a time when AMC was really American Movie Classics. They showed uncut movies and commercial free. They had an eclectic taste and every October they had Monsterfest, a few days of classic monster movies.

Now they are semi edited, have lots of commercials, and are far from classics. TCM on the other hand is having some classic movies! They aren't showing as many as AMC but they are doing a pretty decent job.

I wish AMC would return to their roots. Commercial free, unedited, and it would be wonderful if they were shown in their original frame ratio instead of the cropped pan and scan versions. It would be nice to see some of the old movies though, the big rubber creature movies. The space invasion movies. The classics, give me Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr., Bela Lugosi.

Yeah. That is Halloween!
