It's a Halloween Hump Day! We will have more details about the Halloween Parade and other events in the city later, but we thought we'd point you to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown videos on Youtube (part 1, 2, 3), in case you missed ABC's airing last night. You can also get it on DVD, and there's also the book It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown: The Making of a Television Classic.

A look at some noteworthy television this week:

  • Queens Farm: That's right. Right here in NYC, there's a 47-acre operating farm. It's the only working historical farm in the city and is owned by the Department of Parks. Tomorrow is the last day to get lost in "The Amazing Maize Maze," the farm's 3-acre corn maze. While at Queens Farm, you can also pick your own pumpkin. Don't expect The Great Pumpkin though, pumpkins are cantaloupe size and smaller. Both the corn maze and pumpkin patch are closed today due to rain.

  • September ended on a cool note this weekend. The average temperature last month was a beastly 66.6 degrees, a degree and a half below normal. The last time a month was more than a degree below normal was May 2005. Rainfall was slightly below normal, the first month since March with below normal precipitation. Temperature and precipitation remain well above normal for the year as a whole, however.

    (available to rent on DVD via Netflix, no less), most people prefer that sensation of wanting to hide behind their seat in the movie theater at the end of October.

    The Post lists what New Yorkers can do this Halloween in the city, ranging from various parties at night clubs (Avalon, Maritime Hotel, Suede) and churches (St. John the Divine) to dog parades...even a call to your dentist.
