Halloween on the Small Screen
BACK TO HORRORWOOD
Halloween isn’t just candy and costumes -- there’s also TV to be watched! Here is our rundown of special episodes, one-off shows and scary movies airing before, during and after the Big Night.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30
The Office – 9/8c on NBC
Every office gets giddy with childlike excitement around Halloween time, and luckily for us, Dunder Mifflin has never been an exception. This year, however, Pam is the only one who shows her Halloween spirit. On an un-Halloween-related note, Dwight tries to get under Andy’s skin, and I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict that he succeeds.
My Name Is Earl – 8/7c on NBC
Earl tries to throw a Halloween party for Dodge and Earl Jr. which will inevitably not work out. Randy, meanwhile, gets freaked out by Catalina’s visiting nephew, who has the ability to conjure up voodoo. And no, you’re not alone if you think only the latter storyline sounds funny.
South Park – 9:30/8:30c on Comedy Central (R)
In this oldie but goody from all the way back in 1999 (season 3), the then-popular band Korn guest-stars and sings its then-popular song “Falling Away From Me” as the South Park boys must contend with pirate ghosts.
Celebrity Ghost Stories – 11/10c on BIO (R)
Gina Gershon, Ernie Hudson, Belinda Carlisle and Sammy Hagar are the “celebrities” in question who recount their paranormal experiences -- like doing this special! It’s surprising that Gershon sunk this low when she’s at least a Dancing with the Stars-caliber C-lister; it’s also surprising that E! didn’t hatch up this idea first.
