8. "The Ring" (2002)

One of my favorite shows on TV is Ghost Adventures. Coming up on Monday I will feature a Halloween show. I will also feature the Duluth Ghost Hunters who have been busy with some local landmarks. Here are some of the greatest moments on Ghost Adventures from the Travel Channel.

Still don’t have a costume for Halloween? You might want to hurry since the big day is less than a week away.

To help out a little, TV.com has a bunch of ideas for costumes inspired by TV characters. Some are kinda lame (going as Barney from ‘How I Met Your Mother’ means you’re basically just a dude in a nice suit), but there are some you could have fun with. In addition to ‘The Walking Dead’ (above), here are the five best we found from the list.

Every October, domestic goddess Martha Stewart takes a break from folding napkins into peacocks and instead turns her attention to Halloween, a holiday she adores.

She not only does an elaborate themed issue of her magazine, she tapes a television special as well — and this year, she’s creating a spooky maze from ordinary lawn decorations and showing us how to turn a simple two-car garage into a haunted house. The behind-the-scenes photos from her special are a real treat for fans.
