…I’m nonetheless half-tempted to tune into Rob Zombie’s new hosting gig on Turner Classic Movies, called TCM Underground.
TCM executive vice-president and general manager Tom Karsch says the show “will serve as home to some of the truly visionary cult films that have been made over the past century, from stylish horror movies to offbeat black comedies. I can’t think of a better mix than having Rob Zombie host classic cult films made by heroes of the genre, people like George Romero, Ed Wood and Russ Meyer. And we think Rob will be a great asset in making these classics more accessible to a new generation of film fans.”
Strangely, RZ himself offers not even a single comment within the press release hyping the show, but that’s okay; the films that’ll be spotlighted on “TCM Underground” speak for themselves:
Night of the Living Dead
The Crazies
Bride of the Monster
Freaks
The Honeymoon Killers
Opening night is this Friday, October 13th, and it kicks off with this all-time classic:
Need I say more?
Tune in at 2:00 AM on the…wait a minute, 2:00 AM? That’s not the 13th, then; that’s the 14th. Whoops. Well, anyway, it’s on at 11 PM on the 13th if you’re on the West Coast…
