British Halloween-themed TV[edit]

Halloween has been celebrated in Scotland and Ireland for centuries, however in England it was eclipsed by Bonfire Night (Guy Fawkes Night) after 1605,[6] hence it is not as big as an occasion there as it is in the United States. British Halloween-themed television programmes therefore were historically few and far between, but have become more frequent in the 21st century.

Children's[edit]

Documentaries[edit]

Drama[edit]

Reality[edit]

Shows[edit]

Teen and adult sitcoms[edit]

Japanese Halloween-themed TV[edit]

Anime[edit]

Tokusatsu[edit]

Others[edit]

All Saints (Australian medical drama)[edit]

America's Funniest Home Videos[edit]

The Canterville Ghost[edit]

The Canterville Ghost, based on the novel The Canterville Ghost, is a 1986 made-for-television film starring John Gielgud and Alyssa Milano.

The Halloween Tree[edit]

In 1993, Hanna-Barbera produced a made-for-television animated adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic novel of the same name. Featuring narration by the author himself, the movie explains some of the history of the holiday as experienced via an across-time adventure with a group of trick-or-treating kids. The hand-painted backgrounds, haunting music of John Debney, and Bradbury's narration elevate this to much more than a mere children's Halloween special.

Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho[edit]

The Filipino news magazine program on GMA Network titled Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS) aired a series of Halloween specials (titled "Gabi ng Lagim" since 2013.)[8] since 2008.[9]

Magandang Gabi... Bayan[edit]

The Filipino news magazine program on ABS-CBN titled Magandang Gabi... Bayan (hosted by Noli de Castro) aired a series of Halloween specials from 1988 until 2005.[10][11][12]

The Midnight Hour[edit]

The Midnight Hour (also known as In the Midnight Hour) is a 1985 comedy/horror television movie which aired on ABC on Friday, November 1, 1985, at 9:00-11:00 PM EST and stars Shari Belafonte-Harper, LeVar Burton, Peter DeLuise, and Dedee Pfeiffer.

Neighbours[edit]

Once Upon a Midnight Scary[edit]

This 1979 television anthology Halloween special was hosted by Vincent Price. It featured the stories "The Ghost Belonged To Me," "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," and "The House With a Clock In Its Walls."

The Price Is Right[edit]

Starting in Season 36 (2007), when Drew Carey began hosting the show, each season of the popular US game show has featured a full Halloween episode, with the host, announcer, models, set, and Showcases decorated for this holiday.

Deal or no Deal UK[edit]

In 2013 the British game show hosted a week long Halloween themed week of episodes with every contestant dressed up.

The Wickedest Witch (1989)[edit]

This made-for-television film aired on NBC on October 30, 1989.

AMC Halloween movie specials[edit]

AMC broadcasts many Halloween classics, including the Halloween series, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and An American Werewolf in London, during the month of October.
