THE WOLF MAN (1941)
Sunday, 6:15 a.m., AMC
You don’t need a silver bullet to kill off this year’s terrible “Wolf Man” starring the increasingly annoying Anthony Hopkins and Benicio Del Toro; you just need to watch the original with Lon Chaney as the good guy with the bad bite. Brilliant from start to finish, but OMG how I love Maria Ouspenskaya as Maleva, the old gypsy woman. Ahhhoooo!
NOSFERATU (1922)
Sunday, 12 a.m., TCM
Even without sound, you’ll be scared out of your wits with this very creepy silent take on “Dracula.” The director wasn’t given permission to use the original tale, so he just changed the names to protect the not innocent. Here a terrifying vampire (Max Schreck) hires a real estate agent to relocate his home. And you thought NYC realtors were frightening!
BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA (1992)
Tuesday, 9 a.m, AMC
A decade before vamps were the “It” boys of media, Gary Oldman nailed it as the bloodless weirdo in a giant wig who finds his true love after 400 years. What’s a vamp to do when he falls in lust? Bite that babe to undeath, that’s what! Brilliantly different, and oh! those brides on the side! With Winona Ryder.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962)
Saturday, 10:15 p.m., TCM
Maybe the best campy horror movie ever made. Ever. Bette Davis is Baby Jane Hudson, former baby vaudeville star who keeps her sister, Blanche (Joan Crawford), a paralyzed former silent screen star, prisoner in a creepy Hollywood mansion.
