getTV to Present Monster Halloween Marathon Featuring Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price & More, 10/31

Trick or Treat with getTV this Halloween, as the network conjures a monster marathon loaded with witches, ghosts, vampires, and a slew of genre icons, on Friday, October 31. The mayhem begins at 7 p.m. ET, as James Stewart becomes bewitched and bewildered by Kim Novak in BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE; bombs resurrect Bela Lugosi in THE RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE; Peter Cushing gets back to business in THE REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN; THE WEREWOLF goes on the prowl; and a family moves in with 13 GHOSTS in the original William CASTLE classic.

Thursdays in October, getTV pays tribute to the incomparable Rita Hayworth, with a special block every week at 7 p.m. ET. The 15-film retrospective highlights Hayworth's most unforgettable roles in a lineup featuring Oscar® winners, nominees, and critically acclaimed favorites, such as ANGELS OVER BROADWAY with Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (October 2); two weeks of musicals, with Hayworth and Fred Astaire in YOU'LL NEVER GET RICH and YOU WERE NEVER LOVELIER (October 9), and Gene Kelly in COVER GIRL (October 16); THE LOVES OF CARMEN with Glenn Ford, and THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI with Orson Welles (October 23); dramas PAL JOEY with Frank Sinatra, and FIRE DOWN BELOW with Robert Mitchum (October 30); and many more.

Groovy Tuesdays gets silly and spooky, every week at 7 p.m. ET, kicking off with a Larry Fine birthday two-pack in THE THREE STOOGES GO AROUND THE WORLD and THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES (October 7). Next, it's THEY RAN FOR THEIR LIVES, and THE RUNNING MAN with Lee Remick (October 14); Michael Caine in THE WRONG BOX, and A STUDY IN TERROR (October 21); THE MAD ROOM, starring Shelley Winters, and Tallulah Bankhead in DIE! DIE! MY DARLING! (October 28).

The Silver Screen Favorite block presents four films starring heroes from Hollywood's Golden Age, Sundays at 7 p.m. ET. Doris Day and Jack Lemmon take Ernie Kovacs to court in IT HAPPENED TO JANE (October 5); James Stewart stars as a reformed ex-con seeking a fresh start in FOOLS' PARADE (October 12), then getTV celebrates the 75(th) Anniversary of Stewart's star turn as everyman Jefferson Smith who fights corruption in the U.S. Senate in Frank Capra's Oscar®-winning drama MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON (October 19-the actual day in 1939 when it opened wide in the U.S.); and Rita Hayworth sizzles in what is, arguably, her most iconic film, the Noir epic GILDA (October 26), with Glenn Ford.
