A slow UFO news climate, coupled with the onset of Halloween, keeps most mass media outlets of the paranormal focused on ghosts and other more terrestrial phenomena this week.
(all times Eastern)
Saturday, October 30
1:40 AM Body Snatchers (Starz)
Alien drama. Gabrielle Anwar, Meg Tilly and Forest Whitaker argue while aliens take over the personnel of an Alabama military base. Family tension replaces Cold War paranoia in this remake directed by Abel Ferrara, better known for his street-level bloodbaths ('Ms. 45') than his interest in science fiction.
2:00 AM First Wave (SciFi) - Marker 262
Alien/conspiracy drama. Acting on a tip from Crazy Eddie, Cade investigates a "dead man's curve" in Missouri that may have extraterrestrial overtones.
