All is not lost for Halloween TV devotees and horror-show shut-ins hoping for that out-of-body Halloween TV experience. In an audacious stunt reminiscent of Halloween TV's glory years of yore, the supernatural drama Medium, starring Patricia Arquette as an idealized - and fictionalized - version of real-life psychic medium Allison DuBois, will feature a Halloween Eve episode in which Arquette will be digitally inserted into scenes from George A. Romero's horror classic Night of the Living Dead.
