Food Network is committing almost the entire evening to one format. Beat Bobby Flay runs from 4pm ET until 8pm ET without a break, carries on through the whole 8pm to 10pm ET primetime block, and only gives way at 10pm ET to Bobby Flay’s The Line, the one hour in the evening that isn’t Beat Bobby Flay. Anyone hoping for variety should look at the 10pm slot.

The primetime half of the marathon is also themed for the date. The titles tell you: Howdy Halloween at 8pm ET, Boil and Trouble at 8:30pm ET, Fright Club at 9pm ET and The Nightmare Before Pastry at 9:30pm ET. It’s a well-built evening for 29 October, and Fright Club gets my slight preference of the four for the title alone, three stars.

Bobby Flay’s The Line closes the night

The Line at 10pm ET is the longest primetime programme on the channel at 60 minutes, and the pick by default because it’s the only change of pace. Three stars. It airs twice today, with an afternoon run at 3pm ET, so those who have caught it earlier can skip. Opposite it at 10pm ET are Grey’s Anatomy on ABC, Cupertino on CBS and Killer Investigations on A&E.

Beat Bobby Flay gets a late-night finish too, with two more episodes at 11pm and 11:30pm ET.

A Halloween morning on Chopped

If you are up before work, Chopped holds the 8am to noon ET block with four Halloween-flavored episodes: Spooked, Halloween Hijinks, Horror Flick Halloween and Halloween Spooktacular. Chopped has 36 series and 250 episodes to date, and this is the channel making a seasonal strand out of it. Horror Flick Halloween at 10am ET is my choice of the four, three stars.

Overnight, Guy’s Grocery Games runs four straight Halloween-themed hours from midnight ET, which pairs with the rest of the day neatly.
