Tricks and treats

It's dress-up day on "Live With Kelly and Michael" (9 a.m., KSTP, Ch. 5) as the two amiable hosts rotate in and out of various costumes. The holiday is also noted on "The Late Show With David Letterman" (10:35 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4) as kids make their annual visit to Letterman's door. I'm hoping guest Harrison Ford comes as Chewbacca.

A jump to the left

Ready to do the time warp again? Enjoy "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (7 p.m., Oxygen) without having to put up with sticky floors at some old movie theater and people staring at you just because you can watch this 1975 classic only while wearing fishnets.

International zombies

Turns out the French aren't safe from zombies. "The Returned" (8 p.m., Sundance), an eight-part series that's already been a hit in Europe, comes stateside, giving us a chance to see how residents in a French mountain town react when they suddenly realize they've been dead for years.
