There's something inherently eerie about the warm glow of a television in a dark room, a spooky and mysterious warmth that sends shivers through the hairs on the back of your neck.

Of course, since staring at a blank screen all night isn't very interesting unless some lost spirit is trying to communicate with the living world through it (if that's the case, please invite me to your party, I'll bring dip), one of these scary TV shows will help set the mood on Halloween night.

If you pop one of these shows in the DVD player, not only will your friends laud your impeccable taste in terrifying television, they'll probably be too scared to leave your house until at least Veteran's Day.
