Vincent Price
Fan Expo 2011 Day 1 & 2: Kevin Sorbo as Superman, Elvira Tampons, and Vincent Price Turns 100 (Sorta)

Your favorite cult TV and film stars of the sci-fi, horror, fantasy and superhero genres come up to Toronto every year, and 2011 is a doozy already. Guests in past years have included Alice Cooper, William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Elijah Wood, so if you're a fanboy or fangirl, you just have to be here.
Couldn't score a ticket? Don't worry, AOL TV has you covered with a play-by-play of the very best happenings each day throughout the weekend.
Here are your television tricks and treats for this Halloween
Boo! Did I scare you? Well, if I didn't that's okay. I'm not much into scaring people since I gave Uncle Barry that heart attack at last year's Halloween party by putting a bloody finger into his apple-tini. Eh, Barry deserved it; he was always a putz. And constantly asking for money. I mean, one time . . .
Sorry, wandered off for a bit there. What was I talking about? Oh, yes, scaring people. There's really no need for me to scare anyone this upcoming Halloween since my good old friend television can do it much better. In fact, now that there are so many channels to choose from, you can watch hours of blood and gore and ooze into the wee hours of the morning while noshing on all of the 'good' candy that your children bring back (this would be anything from the Hershey or M&M/Mars family of candies).
So, to make your life a bit easier while you come down from that sugar buzz, we here at TV Squad have provided you with a comprehensive list of Halloween-themed programming that will be airing on from about dinnertime on October 31st into the first of November. It's all there, from the Halloween and Friday the 13th films (and their numerous sequels) to Halloween-themed Roseanne episodes, to classic Vincent Price movies such as House of Wax. We even mention Dark Town, which airs at 3:15 am on Wednesday, November 1st. In Dark Town a lesbian and a gangbanger team up to battle vampires. Gosh, what will the entertainment industry think of next?
The complete (or as near as complete list) can be seen right after the scary jump. Ooh!
Two wax-oriented people pass away
It's odd enough that both of these people died just two days apart, but also right around Halloween. Oooooooo.
Spoony Singh, who founded the famous Hollywood Wax Museum in 1965, died Wednesday of congestive heart failure at the age of 83. And two days later, on Friday, actress Phyllis Kirk died of a post-cerebral aneurysm at 79. Kirk played the woman terrorized by Vincent Price in the classic 1953 horror flick House of Wax, which I'm sure will be shown several times this week for Halloween. On television, Kirk played Nora on The Thin Man.
House of Wax is one of the many 3-D movies from the 50s. I actually went to see it (no, not in 1953, in the 80s, when it was re-released). I wore the glasses and everything. It's actually pretty good in 3-D, unlike a lot of movies. It was needlessly remade a couple of years ago, with Paris Hilton.
