Matt's Help guide to Wednesday TV: Halloween Hilarity and Horror, South Park and much more!

James Roday, Dule Hill If you're able to place the vampire reference within the line "Allow the best ones in, buddy" - from tonight's enjoyably spoofy episode of USA Network's Psych (10/9c) - then you are set for a genuine treat, as Halloween is performed for laughs (generally purposely) on a number of tonight's shows.The smartest may be Psych's guest star-studded comic mystery (entitled "This Episode Sucks"), where a body drained of bloodstream leads Shawn and Gus to deduce a vampire is around the loose. Could stated fiend function as the new mystery lady in Lassiter's existence? She's performed by original-movie Buffy Kristy Swanson, so anything's possible. Also making cameos: TV-Buffy alum Tom Lenk and eternal where-are-they-now curiosity Corey Feldman. However the real pleasure here's in watching James Roday (who co-authored and directed the episode) and Dulé Hill work their way via a night time movie marathon's price of horror references, none more amusing than when Gus is frequently mistaken as Count Chocula when it is so apparent (to him and Shawn, anyway) that he's outfitted because the "legendary" Blacula. There's an excellent Barbara joke too. (Which jogs my memory: With Saturday Evening Reside in repeats a few days ago, I sense a DVD horror-movie-a-thon during my immediate future.)Want more fall TV news?

The relaxation from the shows are new. Around The Middle (8/7c), Poor Sue Heck endures another costume fiasco and turns to her father for suggestions about getting observed - the proper way - by boys, while Frankie is stuck taking Brick and the socially challenged "abilities group" trick or dealing with. ... Jay Mohr visitors on Suburgatory (8:30/7:30c) as Dallas' frequently-absent husband, while Tessa's suburban-chic costume freaks out her new class mates if this reminds them an excessive amount of a lately passed neighbor. ... There is a costume party on Happy Being (9:31/8:31c), and as always, Max and Cent (the show's funniest figures) kill it, because he plays "wing baby" strapped onto her new-mother ensemble, making things awkward when both find new buddies to flirt with. Like a indication of all of the unsuccessful relationship comedies of last season, David Walton of NBC's short-resided Perfect Couples visitors like a partygoer who misinterprets an unwell Alex's Marilyn Monroe get-up. For Jane and Kaira, running afoul of trick-or-treaters because they housesit within the and surrounding suburbs, they might just stay there for around they add show.Using the holiday a tad more seriously, however with this type of high camping threshold it has a tendency to inspire giggles a lot more than shrieks (especially whenever the rubber-suited ghoul seems), FX's American Horror Story (10/9c) begins an above-componen two-parter having a very lively Zachary Quinto because the bitchier 1 / 2 of the ill-fated gay couple who resided within the "Murder House" just just before the unhappy Harmons. The show continues to be an undisciplined hodgepodge that has a tendency to stall whenever it concentrates on the mopey core family, however it comes alive in spooky flashbacks - especially individuals including the house's first tenants, a drug-addled "physician towards the stars" secret abortionist (Large Love's Matt Ross) and the unhappy wife (Broadway star Lily Rabe). As always, the highlight is any scene including Jessica Lange as flamboyant neighbor Constance, who now channels Carrie's Piper Laurie in her own overwrought moments together with her daughter Addie. And there is a great cliffhanger as well. This really is never as frightening as AMC's The Walking Dead, but it is miles more nutty.Also wishing to stimulate goosebumps, BBC America launches the evocative six-part crime thriller Whitechapel (10/9c) included in its "Dramaville" franchise. The very first three episodes form a small-arc, being an ambitious and well-connected but woefully unskilled London copper (Rupert Penry-Johnson) is offered an effort by fire as he's placed on the trail of the killer replicating the savage 1800s killings of Jack the Ripper. The mystery is possibly a too time-honored classic, and there is little subtlety towards the shock-cut gruesomeness: "Thanks for visiting hell, gentlemen," the coroner happily announces throughout a grisly autopsy. But there's potent place of work tension, because the fastidious youthful boss attempts to conquer his exacerbated and unmanageable seen-it-all co-workers. They are skeptical from the Ripper connection, however the new guy consults an enthusiastic Ripper-ologist anyway. Once the expert expresses his enthusiasm for "the irresistible siren call of the mystery, the delectable twists of the conundrum ... that scrumptious eureka moment once the scales fall away and things are laid bare," we are able to almost believe Whitechapel is for the reason that grand tradition.On the lighter note, if you are not already Broadway'd out with this week's Dwts extravaganza, Comedy Central's South Park, that has been pretty spotty to date this fall, assumes the truly amazing Whitened Way. Tonight's episode (10/9c) is really a much-anticipated collaboration/reunion between Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone as well as their Book of Mormon co-creator Robert Lopez (Avenue Q), who all made Tony miracle with the mega-hit Mormon musical. The main focus is on Randy and Sharon, Stan's parents, who mind to Broadway to determine all of the shows after Randy catches the musical-theatre bug. Could this function as the episode that makes South Park a Standing O this year?What exactly else is on? ... The Planet Series moves to St. Louis for Game 6 (Fox, begins at 7:30/ET). When the home team wins, the series would go to a climactic Game 7 on Thursday. When the Texas Rangers win, it's all regulated over until the coming year. ... While almost every other show remembers Halloween, it is the 4th of This summer on ABC's Revenge (10/9c), and also the Graysons once more are tossing an event that's certain to be disrupted. The reason this time around is really a scandalous surveillance video - of Lydia's violent fall from sophistication, possibly? - that drives a wedge between your Graysons as well as their sinister mind of security, Frank (Max Martini). ... CBS' Survivor (8/7c) is offering a dangerous move by among the tribes' gamers that "goes lower in Survivor history." The episode is entitled "Trojan viruses Equine," which might be a clue as to the goes lower. ... If Maks thought he'd it rough within the knowing on Dwts, hold back until the America's Next Top Model All-Stars (The CW, 9/8c) obtain a load of the guest judge now: the hilariously open Kathy Griffin. ... How sweet it's: Among the final three chef-testants is going to be named the champion within the season finale of Bravo's Top Chef: Just Desserts (10/9c).Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!
