Halloween is really my season, and I'm already counting the days until it returns. But for now, here are three of my favorite #films set in #December. I highly recommend them! What are yours?

* The Lion in Winter (1968) Perhaps my favorite #film, full stop. ("What shall we hang, the holly or each other?")

* Beware, My Lovely (1952) Brilliant turns by two of the greatest stars of #FilmNoir, #RobertRyan and #IdaLupino.

* Black Christmas (1974) A cult classic for good reason.

Well, Corky comes back and all is well…sort of? I’m still not clear on exactly what form of mental illness Howard Wilton suffers from? I’m not sure this pathology exists. #BewareMyLovely #NoirAlley

#RobertRyan’s filmography shows no #TwilightZone episodes, and that surprises me. He seems like the perfect #RodSerling or #CharlesBeaumont protagonist. #BewareMyLovely #NoirAlley

#BarbaraWhiting does the best she can with the part of Ruth. It’s written as a fickle teen girl, but someone got their post-WW2 girl mixed up with a post-WW1 one, I think? She doesn’t sound very true to the period. #BewareMyLovely #NoirAlley
