Halloween on TV

There wasn't much on last night so I found myself watching a not so current episode of House on the DVR. You will see where I am going with this in a second, I swear. Anyway, 13 is gone and so the gang has set out to replace her. Enter, Vinessa Shaw or Dr. Kelly Benedict.

Anyway, the entire episode I was bothered by her familiar face. Where have I seen her before? I think she had longer hair and was in a scary movie. Well, I was close. Vinessa Shaw played Allison the love interest in Hocus Pocus, one of my favorite Halloween movies. Yes, it's not scary but it is a classic. So, there  you have it a bit of TV trivia for those of you as curious as me.

I love this time of year when all those classic Halloween movies play at all times of day on TV. Hocus Pocus is my personal fave but I'm always game for a slasher movie like Scream or what else but, Halloween.

We should all indulge in a little Halloween on TV. It's good for your blood pressure.
