2038-01-19T03:14:07Z

4:30 AM [American Movie Classics]
The Innocents
Movie adaptation of The Turn of The Screw, otherwise known (by me) as the novella where the governess is crazy, the children are screwed-up, and the ghosts may or may not be manifestations of repressed sexuality.

7:15 AM [American Movie Classics]
The Fly (1958)
"Help me! Help meeee!" Ah, good times. This is the original film, where Vincent Price, for once is not the mad scientist, but the brother of one. The type of scientist who invents a teleportation device, has a horrible accident, and ends up with his head on the body of a fly and the fly's head on his human one. And all Vincent can think is "For once, it's not me experimenting with unmentionable horrors."

9:00 AM [G4]
The Toxic Avenger Part II
Have your Troma fix with the return of Toxie! Guest stars include Michael Jai White and Go Nagai, the guy who created Devilman and Cutie Honey.

10:00 AM [FX]
Vampires
James Woods kicks vampire ass with the help of Daniel Baldwin and the only woman with a major part in the movie is a vampirized hooker. What makes this even better is that this is on basic cable in the morning - so I'm sure there won't be any obvious censorship. Hee.

5:30 PM [American Movie Classics]
Exorcist: The Beginning
There are two versions of the prequel to The Exorcist. The author called one of them "a handsome, classy, elegant piece of work." He said that watching the other one the "most humiliating professional experience. Guess which version this one is.

The penguins alone could not have saved us
