If you want to zone out to something a little more enjoyable than your professor's monotone lectures, check out the chills and thrills on AMC (channel 56). The past couple of days my idiot eyes have been glued to the channel's annual Monsterfest. AMC is showing "Friday the 13th: Part 3" and "The Frighteners" just to name a few.

If you like cheesy Sci Fi Channel horror movies, you're in luck because on Tuesday Sci Fi (channel 61) is playing "13 Days of Halloween." The channel will run movies from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Interesting picks in the schedule include, "Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis" at 2 p.m., "Return of the Living Dead: Rave to Grave" at 4 p.m. and " Route 666" at 6 p.m.

Halloween is Wednesday and some of us unlucky students won't be making it out for trick or treating because of classes. Sci Fi is playing horror movies, mixed with episodes of "Ghost Hunters" all day, and AMC's schedule is packed with the movie "Halloween" and all its sequels.

For your inner scared child, Cartoon Network (channel 59) is playing the TV show "Goosebumps" from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m.

For Thursday there is only one thing you should be watching: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" at 10 p.m. on FX. Since I know you're not going to watch it, just check out the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on Fuse (channel 35).

Finally Friday, I'm honestly telling you to go outside and play. You've watched way too much TV for the week. But if you stay indoors, "Brick" is playing on HBO East at 9:30 p.m. "Beetlejuice" is playing at 8 p.m. on ABC Family (channel 57). Watch it, learn it and love it.

I hope you slept in on Saturday, and feel very refreshed. With that said, The Columbia Museum of Art on Main is free on Saturdays till 5 p.m. They have a lovely new fountain in the front. Check it out, it's worthwhile.

Relaxing on a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do? Movies are great on lazy Sunday afternoons. Starting at 2 p.m., the science-fiction movie "Eragon" is on HBO West (channel 46).

This is a lot of TV to watch folks.

Please remember to roll over as to not get bed sores, and walk around a bit outside to get some fresh air between shows.
