Best TV bets for Halloween

First off, “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” will be on Thursday (Oct 27^th) evening on ABC!

October 31^st

Syfy Channel:

“Ghost Hunters” live. This year they’ll be spending 6 hours live at Pennhurst State School and Hospital.  Now usually I’m not into these “What the *bleep was that!” shows, but I always enjoy the history and if you watch it in the dark, they can be a little creepy.

October 30^th

Discovery Channel:

“How Evil are You?”  Horror film director Eli Roth will host this segment for the show “Curiosity” on the Discovery Channel. They will explore his mind with a brain scan, and are restaging the famous Milgram experiment (look it up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment ).  I will definitely tune into this one.

October 29^th

History Channel will have all kinds of cool stuff on  Saturday the 29^th. Starting in the evening, they will be showing “The Real Dracula”, about Vlad the Imapler. After that is “The Real Story of Halloween”  followed by “Zombies: A Living History”.

Then lastly, ABC Family has been doing their 13 Nights of Halloween, so tune in anytime pretty much and you’ll run into a family friendly holiday film.  Like my favorite, Hocus Pocus will be on the evening of Saturday the 29^th.  They’ll be showing other films such as Casper, Van Helsing, The Addams Family (both of them), Teen Witch (that 80’s cheese fest will be on Saturday a.m.). Check out the full schedule here.  http://abcfamily.go.com/schedule/?date=20111029
