As Halloween creeps ever closer, we're preparing for the occasion by stocking up on decorative gourds, dollar store cobwebs, and adorable pet costumes (do yourself a favour and google "labrador in a lab coat" — we'll wait).
Silliness aside, it's the time of year when the purported veil between worlds of the living and the dead is at its thinnest. But fear not, the goblins at APN have got a full lineup of new episodes to usher you through the scariest of days.
