There's never been a better time to plan movie marathons to get you prepared for Halloween, as the abundance of streaming services and digital downloads has put virtually any movie you desire at your fingertips. For those who prefer to pass the decision-making process over to someone else, Turner Classic Movies has got you covered with a massive selection of horror films broadcasting all October long.

The accessibility and affordability of DVDs in the '00s resulted in movie lovers growing detached from turning on their TVs to watch films that were both heavily edited for content and also interrupted by long commercial breaks. TV networks became challenged to offer cinematic-level programming in hopes of catching viewers' attention, resulting in shows like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead.

While a network broadcast of a film doesn't necessarily give you the best presentation and you have to suffer through advertisements, tuning in to a broadcast does create a sense of community, with the knowledge that people around the country might also be enjoying a film at the same time as you. In fact, the prominence of social media and users live-tweeting their reactions to a show has helped tap into that sense of community in ways many thought had gone extinct.

With TCM's full October scheduling being published on their website, one Reddit user compiled all the can't-miss horror titles airing throughout the month! Scroll down to see what October has in store.
