The scariest Halloween-related programming I saw this month? Without question, it had to be A Semi-Homemade Halloween with Sandra Lee on the Food Network. I’m always torn between amusement and terror when I see Lee in the kitchen, but her variety of costumes pushed this outing into deeply scary territory. Her sugarplum fairy outfit was deeply scarring.
The least frightening? Anything broadcast by Sci-Fi, especially the billion-hour, crushingly dull Rose Red. And maybe it’s just me, but “A Sci-Fi Original Picture” is all the warning I need to hit the remote as quickly as possible.
