Tonight on MeTV- as the weather turns colder, it seems like a good time to get wrapped up-and join one of Universal’s iconic monsters as he goes "for a little walk"... and begins a marathon of evil and death, thanks to a curse from ancient Egypt that brings danger to all who come into contact with- "The Mummy"!

Tonight on MeTV- we present Vincent Price in possibly his most memorable role of the 1970s-as a man thought to be dead who is not only alive, but on a mission- to get revenge on the physicians who failed to save his wife’s life- by killing them off one by one! There are equal measures of dark hilarity and horror in the campy classic from 1971- “The Abominable Dr. Phibes”!

Tonight on MeTV-find out what gets a rise out of Vincent Price’s disfigured “dead-again/live-again” villain- as we pick up where last week’s movie left off- only a few years later- when the killer keyboardist is restored to life- and sets out on a quest to return his beloved wife to the realm of the living- while racing against an anxious adversary to a certain spot in Egypt that promises eternal life- as “Dr. Phibes Rises Again”!

We’re showing what may be the most requested film in our library-that our viewers demand to see at least annually! While Universal’s perennial top comedy team- had lost some of their box office power- this film teamed them up with some of Universal’s classic monsters, who had also been declining in popularity (at least in the opinion of the studio heads). Two of the classic monsters are played by the men who established them as horror legends- Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Lon Chaney Jr. as Larry Talbot, the Wolf Man- with the Monster portrayed by Glenn Strange- for the comedic and creepy encounter “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein”!

Tonight on MeTV- “Black Friday” gives way to a “Black and White Saturday” Sven feature- as we learn about a snowy mountain peak surrounded by a mysterious mist that conceals a deadly menace to mankind!

Inside the mist lies the terror of “The Crawling Eye”!

Tonight on MeTV, we reprise a horror comedy with an all-star cast of the genre’s legends that mixes dark humor and deadly deeds. It’s another memorable team-up of Vincent Price and Peter Lorre, with Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone along for the (hearse wagon) ride- in the “Comedy of Terrors”!

Tonight on MeTV- while you might be getting in the holiday mood roasting chestnuts on an open fire- some less-than-holiday heat from lightning will be thawing out prehistoric creatures on a tropical island-where the nasty local town boss is actually more savage than a newly- awakened Neanderthal- as both the good and evil islanders face the destructive might of- “Dinosaurus!”

Tonight on MeTV, we have a pre-Christmas present for you- with a character who was part of the Universal roster of horror even before the advent of talkies! This time he is portrayed by a distinguished actor who can perfectly embody the heartbreak, fury, and insanity of- “The Phantom of the Opera”! This is the 1943 Technicolor version based on the oft-remade story written by Gaston Leroux about brilliant musician/composer Erique Claudin...

Tonight, on MeTV- we end the year by bringing back an American International 1950s offering that takes its place among the teenage monster films like “I Was a Teenage Frankenstein” and “I Was a Teenage Werewolf”- but this film puts a twist on the formula by making the terror- a female! Should old acquaintance be forgot-but not the old savage murders in “Blood of Dracula”?!
