One of my holiday pet peeves is the difficulty of finding good Halloween movies on TV around Halloween so today's Top Pick is a regular Shoney's-style buffet of scary movies you can watch today. AMC and Hallmark in particular should be commended for committing to scary movies all day long Your mileage may vary as to how frightening you find some of these films but if you aren't freaked out by Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Sweater then you are made of sterner stuff than I.
