HDTV Heads-Up: Scared Shrekless, Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space, The Omen, Eagle Eye

TV2 will screen in HD on October 30 the animated Hallow’een special, Scared Shrekless.

The half-hour movie spin-off has Shrek challenging Fiona, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the other fairy-tale characters to spend the night in Lord Farquaad’s haunted castle telling scary stories.

The last one to be scared ‘Shrekless’ will win.

Gingerbread Man tells The Bride of Gingy, Puss and Donkey tell The Boots Motel, and Shrek tells The Shrekxorcist, in which Pinnochio becomes possessed.

It premieres on US TV the day before, where NBC is teaming it with the same partner as TV2: Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins From Outer Space, which first aired here as a Christmas ’09 special. (Closer to this Christmas watch for another HD ‘toon stunt, Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special.)

The same night TV3 will acknowledge Hallowe’en in HD with a repeat of The Omen re-make while two days later it will screen the HD free-to-air premiere of the hi-tech conspiracy thriller, Eagle Eye, starring Shia LaBeouf.
