Saturday, October 6, 4-7 pm ET – The Haunted Hub “Scariest Haunting Hour” Marathon

The “Haunted Hub” celebration kicks off with a special marathon of the scariest episodes from the first two seasons of “R.L. Stine’s The Haunting Hour: The Series” featuring some of Hollywood’s most popular teen stars.

“Fear Never Knocks” (4-4:30 p.m.)

Fears become real when the grandchildren of a decorated psychiatrist play around with an ancient recorder in their grandfather’s office. Ariel Winter (“Modern Family”) guest stars.

“Scarecrow” (4:30-5 p.m.)

Special Director’s Cut!  Bailee Madison (Just Go With It) guest stars as Jenny, a farmer whose corn crops are infested with crows. When a scarecrow is given to her by a stranger, it scares away more than just the birds.

“Afraid of Clowns” (5-5:30 p.m.)

Clowns are no laughing matter to Chris (Jake Cherry, Night at the Museum) who has this strange feeling that the local carnival clowns are stalking him.

“Wrong Number” (5:30-6 p.m.)

Steffani (Debby Ryan, “The Suite Life on Deck”) is the resident “mean girl” who disrespects everyone. But when she pushes the old lady next door a little too far, she gets a phone call that teaches her a lesson.

“Lights Out” (6-6:30 p.m.)

Don’t make fun of spirits. When Teddy (Gabe Basso, Super 8) gets the idea to prove that ghosts don’t exist, he and his friends get more than they bargained for in an old abandoned hospital.

“Pumpkinhead” (6:30-7 p.m.)

A series of disappearing kids around Halloween doesn’t dampen Dave’s (Frankie Jonas, “Jonas”) festive spirit, as he and his two older siblings visit a spooky pumpkin patch. But the sinister farmer has more tricks than treats in store for them.

Friday, October 5, 7 pm ET – “Transformers Prime”

“Hard Knocks” – As the race for the Omega Keys grows more desperate, Knock Out harnesses the power of sound, and Starscream the power of hyper-speed.

Sunday, October 7, 7 pm ET – “Family Game Night”

This fun-filled hour of competition features six families selected from the audience to play larger-than-life versions of classic games including Connect 4 and Battleship for a chance to win cash, prizes and a trip to Mexico. Hosted by Todd Newton.

Next articleDragons: Riders of Berk – “Alvin & The Outcasts” Recap
Last pup of a dying planet, a young German Shepherd is rocketed to Earth, where he is bombarded by cosmic gamma rays emitted by a radioactive spider. Crash-landing in the forgotten land of Hubba Hubba, he is discovered by the Who-You-Callin'-Ancient One and his lovely wife Pookie. Instilled with their traditional American values, he spends his young adulthood roaming the globe, learning all the secrets of Comic-Fu. Donning battle armor fashioned from spilled chemicals splashed by lightning, he becomes the Sensational Shield of Sequential Art ACE THE BATHOUND! Look, it sounds a lot better than the truth. Born in Brooklyn, moved to Queens at 3 and then New Jersey at 10. Throughout high school, college, grad school, and gainful employment, two things have remained constant: 1) I am a colossal nerd, and 2) I have spent far too much time reading comics, and then reading and writing about them. Currently working as a financial programmer in New York City, while continuing to discover all the wonderful little surprises (and expenses) of owning your a home in the suburbs. Shares the above with a beautiful, wonderful, and incredibly understanding wife named Frances (who, thankfully, participates in most of my silly hobbies) and a large furry dog named Brownie (who, sadly, does not). Comics, toys, Apple Macintosh computers, video games, and eBay
