It's that time of year where some of my favorite programming starts to kick in. The scary, frightful or just plain entertaining onslaught of aliens, monsters, murderers and what not that come out of the woodwork on Halloween each year.
As you may or may not know, Syfy is already in full swing with their 31 Days of Halloween programming, but other networks like AMC, Crackle, SundanceTV, Sundance Now and WGN America have their own offerings.
