Syfy October Halloween Themed Show and Movie Programming

It's the middle of October and Halloween approaches.  I've already noted AMC's Fear Fest (Some of the best Halloween themed programming on TV) and as it stands, Syfy is in the middle of their 31 Days of Halloween.  It's not as comprehensive as it used to be, but they're still putting out some good stuff.  

During this event they have a Being Human marathon lined up for October 18.  They also have Halloween-themed episodes of Ghost Hunters coming up on October 30 and their new show, Naked Vegas, on October 29, plus a Scare Tactics marathon slated for October 28.

SHOWS

SCARE TACTICS – Original Series Airs Monday, October 28 from 8-11PM – Tracy Morgan hosts a special marathon of all-new episodes of Scare Tactics, the hidden camera show with a sci-fi twist that pulls outrageous pranks on unsuspecting friends and family. In these new episodes, our subjects will be subjected to post-Voodoo ceremony zombie attacks at a cemetery, a meat-eating fly experiment gone horribly wrong and a homicidal comedian at a comedy award show that Tracy “hosts.”

NAKED VEGAS – Original Series Airs Tuesday, October 29 at 10PM – Set amidst the fast-paced glitter of life on the Las Vegas Strip, Syfy will transport viewers inside the provocative and imaginative world of body painting art in this new six-part docuseries. Just in time for Halloween, the first episode follows the Naked Vegas Team as they plan an over-the-top zombie-themed wedding at Eli Roth’s Goretorium at Planet Hollywood. Not only does the wedding couple want to stagger down the aisle in zombie body paint, but they want the entire wedding party painted to match the theme! Can the Team pull off this challenging make-up assignment – and convince the wedding party to go naked?

GHOST HUNTERS – Original Series Airs Wednesday, October 30 at 9PM – To help put fans in the trick or treat mood, Ghost Hunters presents an especially spooky investigation the eve before All Hallows’ Eve. In the episode, titled “Hyde and Seek,” lead investigator Jason Hawes and the TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) team head to Cooperstown, New York, for their most anticipated investigation location of the season: Hyde Hall. They’re there to look into claims that the infamous mansion was cursed by its former owners during a family feud, and during the investigation, the team comes face-to-face with threatening paranormal activity. Throughout the episode, TAPS will also share personal Halloween messages with viewers at home.

Some movies they plan on airing include Drive Angry and Ghost Rider on October 27, though I wouldn't schedule your day around these rather uninspiring movies.
