What’s On!? The Shut In Guide to Halloween 2013

           

* * *

It’s Halloween and who doesn’t love October 31st!?

If you think that trick or treating or Halloween parties are kids stuff, there’s plenty to do on Halloween that doesn’t involve dressing up, going out and bobbing for things. Let the trick or treaters fend for themselves by not answering the door and staying on the couch this Halloween. It’s just you and the remote. No costume required. If you must observe Halloween, get a bag of candy, pop the popcorn and spend the next couple of days with our SHUT IN’S GUIDE TO HALLOWEEN 2013.

All times are eastern, please double check your local listings!
