TCM's The Underground

I sort of stumbled upon this Web ad for TCM's showing of the original "Night of the Living Dead" this Friday night at 2 a.m. Further research indicates that it's part of a new film series on Turner Classic Movies called the Underground, celebrating old trashy, nutty horror movies. They don't have a schedule up for beyond this week, but previous shows included a bunch of Russ Meyer movies like "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!"

I've never seen a Russ Meyer movie, but I've got nothing to lose now. I've already seen the worst horror movie ever.

Oh, and the whole series is hosted by Rob Zombie.

On a related note, a DVR and a station guide to Turner Classic Movies is thousands of dollars cheaper than film school and a lot more fun to boot.
