Halloween is finally here, and while many people will spend their weekend wandering the street for candy, or boozing it up while dressed as a sexy vampire, sexy nurse or other sexed-up character, there are still some savory options for those who would rather spend some time in front of the tube. Check 'em out.
Friday, October 30
What: “Dollhouse”
When: 9 p.m. ET/PT on Fox
Why: Remember Summer Glau, the cherub-faced beauty from “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”? When her show was, well, terminated, a faint cry of sadness could be heard ‘round the country. But now, she’s joining the cast of “Dollhouse” as Bennett Halverson, a programmer with… wait for it… a dead left arm. It’s too bad that “Dollhouse” looks like it’s heading towards that bright “Cancelled” sign in the sky. Hey, at least she knows how it feels to watch your series die.
Also on Friday: “Medium” at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS; “Ghost Whisperer” at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS; “Halloween on Ice” at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark; “Smallville” at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW; “'Monk” at 9 p.m. ET/PT on USA.

What: “Night of the Living Dead” marathon
When: 6 p.m. ET/PT on AMC
