Your Guide to Halloween Night Viewing Entertainment!

Are you chilling at home on Halloween night? If so, you need something to watch.
All you need is cable TV and you will be provided with hours of entertainment. I scoured the TV Guide app on my iPad to you find you all the coolest viewing choices.

 

1. If you haven’t seen Scream Queens yet, you are missing out. Luckily FX is holding a Scream Queens marathon beginning at 6:00PM EST. It starts with the two hour premiere. The show is worth a watch if you like comedy with your horror.

 

 

2.  Are you a Stephen King fan? You may want to check out the three part miniseries Rose Red about a haunted Seattle mansion. Rose Red‘s screenplay was written by Stephen King (EDITOR’s NOTE: King has a cameo as a pizza delivery guy) and was inspired by a haunted house in his hometown.  Rose Red will air in its three parts beginning 5:30 PM EST on Spike.

 

3. AMC is known for their yearly Fear Fest in October leading up to Halloween. What better way to finish it up with the Halloween franchise. The Halloween movie marathon begins at 4:30PM EST.

 

 

4. The Real Story is a show that reveals the facts behind the fiction. A three episode marathon will air beginning at 9 PM EST. The episodes will cover Scream, The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror on the Smithsonian channel.

 

 

5.  Calling all Alfred Hitchcock fans! Antenna TV will air an Alfred Hitchcock Presents marathon beginning at 1 PM EST through the entire day. Although Hitchcock films air pretty regularly on various cable stations throughout the year, this is first time I’ve seen a marathon of his TV show in quite some time. Get your Hitchcock on!

 

 

6.  Halloween with the New Addams Family is an NBC television film. The movie originally aired on October 30, 1977. You can currently purchase it on  VHS on Amazon. This TV will air it this Halloween  at 6 PM EST.

8. Are you a ghost hound? Ghost Adventures will air a new episode Halloween night at 9 PM EST on the Travel channel. This episode will track paranormal activity in the old west town of Deadwood South Dakota.
