Pop Culture Roundup for October 14–31: Halloween Edition!
In the past couple of weeks I have been Halloween-obsessed, as reflected in my pop culture social media posts, collected in this edition of PCR. The roundup is painted orange and wears a witch’s hat for this special occasion. Happy Halloween!
October 14: Another photo score for my book in progress, Historical Women on Scripted Television. Jayne Meadows as Marie Antoinette on Meeting of Minds (1977). That wig! If you look closely, you can see a couple of American flags nestled within. And, if you’re stuck for a Halloween costume idea, here you go! She looks amazing!
October 17: OMG! I love this! William Shatner, you have lived a life! #twilightzone
October 21: It befits a spy series that its Halloween episode would be of the “stealth Halloween” variety. To the best of my knowledge, the word “Halloween” is never uttered in the Scarecrow and Mrs. King episode “The First Time” (1983), but the holiday is always in the background. You can see it here when housewife Amanda King (Kate Jackson) attends a party for which she is “hideously underdressed,” and learns that Lee Stetson (Bruce Boxleitner) is a spy. I usually watch this one every year around this time.
October 25: Happy Halloween week! If you’re looking for some suggestions for Halloween TV viewing, please stop by my blog Small Screen Pop where I’ve got two blog posts about classic Halloween episodes. Some of the shows I discuss are pictured below.
October 29: For those who watch Father Brown, Mrs. McCarthy (the wonderful Sorcha Cusack) and six from her seemingly infinite collection of hats.
