FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24

Halloween Movie Still

Halloween – 8/7c on AMC

Halloween gets off to a very early start this year with, well, Halloween. Luckily, it’s not the unscary, unsuspenseful, unnecessary Rob Zombie “reimagining” from 2007 but rather John Carpenter’s 1978 original--in every sense of the word. If you’ve already seen it, you know it’s a somewhat masochistic Halloween tradition to watch again; if you haven’t yet seen it, you’re gonna need to watch…with another person!

Kanye West

A Night for Vets: An MTV Concert for the Brave – 8/7c on MTV

Music acts perform at various venues in honor of U.S. veterans--and in honor of getting some more exposure on MTV. Among those performing: 50 Cent, Fall Out Boy, Kid Rock, Taylor Swift and Kanye West--who despite his repeated public denouncement of MTV and its awards-show snubbery simply cannot turn down an invitation from the network.

Constantine Maroulis

Don’t Forget the Lyrics – 9/8c on Fox

It’s a perfect marriage of annoying show and annoying “singer” as Don't Forget the Lyrics enlists former American Idol contestant Constantine Maroulis to try and win money for charity. Tough break for whichever charity was picked!
