Here's a quick preview of what's ahead on the Turner Classic Movies schedule this October!

The October Star of the Month will be Angela Lansbury. Lansbury was previously TCM's Star of the Month over a decade ago, in January 2012. This October TCM will be honoring the centennial of Lansbury's birth, which was October 16, 1925.

Lansbury's films will be shown on Thursday evenings, excepting October 30th. There will be a two-day Halloween horror marathon on October 30th and 31st.

The TCM Spotlight will focus on Alfred Hitchcock on Sunday evenings. One of the month's "Special Themes" will be Creepy Cinema on Friday nights, hosted by Mario Cantone.

October's Noir Alley schedule will consist of THE BIG STREET (1942) followed by three TCM premieres: NEW YORK CONFIDENTIAL (1955), BLACK TUESDAY (1954), and SOUTHSIDE 1-1000 (1950).

In addition to lots of spooky movies over the course of the entire month, October programming themes will include oil, 1980s movies, WWII, cars, spies, the French Revolution, military comedies, the theater, and films with "dark" and "little" in the title.

On October 1st there will also be a great lineup celebrating films released 75 years ago, in 1950.

Filmmakers honored with multifilm tributes in October will include Julie Andrews, Randolph Scott, Otto Preminger, Montgomery Clift, and Van Heflin.

On October 6th there will be an evening honoring Chill Wills, including three of the Francis the Talking Mule films, two of which are TCM premieres.
