We all speculate from time to time about what cities like New York, Tokyo, London, and Miami will look like in the future. This produces a wide range of dreams and visions, among which we usually find a consensus on at least one point: We don’t want them to look like Atlantis...

What better way to spend Halloween night than to wallow in some vintage Vincent Price horror films? (Answer: There are few better ways. The Price is right – and in terms of holiday wallowing, consider it Walloween.) The evening begins at 8 p.m. ET with 1953’s House of Wax, continues at 9:45 p.m. ET with 1961’s The Pit and the Pendulum, and keeps going with 1964’s The Masque of the Red Death (11:15 p.m. ET) and 1959’s House on Haunted Hill (1 a.m. ET).

One of the most anticipated elements of the original Roseanne series was the annual Halloween episode, in which the Conner family costumes and antics got more and more inventive over the years. In tonight’s episode, the first Halloween outing for the show’s spinoff sequel series, the tradition continues. Matthew Broderick guest stars, and shows up in costume. But if Roseanne herself is part of this show, it will be more of a haunting.

First, a confession. I’m an avid, but not obsessive, user of both Facebook and Twitter. I see the good in social media, and the bad, too. I’m not naive...

Part 1 of 2. Is Facebook a media platform subject to government scrutiny and oversight, or an independent company bringing people together? More and more – and, in today’s news cycles, almost every week – the flaws of this social media become more obvious, and dangerous, even as its promise becomes more tantalizing. This new two-part study concludes tomorrow night. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters.  Check local listings.
