Arthur Fright Night

Arthur Fright Night

October is always a big month for PBS Kids, and this year is no exception. In addition to a spook-tacular lineup of special Halloween episodes from several top series, PBS Kids will debut a full week of brand-new episodes of Molly of Denali and new episodes of Arthur. The new episodes will be seen on PBS stations across the country, and on the PBS Kids 24/7 channel and livestream.

To extend the fun offline, PBS Kids is offering Halloween-themed games on the free PBS Kids Games App and pbskids.org, including Curious George Pumpkin Boo, the Cat in the Hat Corn Maze Craze, Daniel Tiger Dress Up, and Peg + Cat Parade. PBS Parents Halloween Hub is also open for business with free pumpkin-carving templates. Additionally, the PBS LearningMedia Halloween collection contains free resources for teachers of students as young as pre-K.
