Sunday through Oct. 31, AMC: Leading up to Halloween, AMC offers the 10th anniversary of its horror movie marathon. Everything from classic horror films “Frankenstein,” “Dracula” and “The Exorcist” to more recent classics “Children of the Corn” and films from the “Friday The 13th,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Hellraiser” series will be aired continuously for the last 10 days of the month. The horror begins with the 1986 version of “The Fly” at 10:30 a.m. Sunday and continues through the all-day marathon of the “Halloween” series on, yes, Halloween. Battlestar Galactica
5 p.m. Friday, SciFi: Speaking of heroes, Admiral Adama will attempt to rescue the civilians from New Caprica this week, and Apollo will struggle with his orders to take the fleet and leave. Col. Tigh discovers, and is forced to deal with, his wife’s well-intentioned but extremely misguided betrayal.
Heroes 8 p.m. Monday, NBC: Anyone who thinks this new series is just about pretty people who like comic books should think again. Sure, the cast is rather nice to look at, but this series offers some pretty dark comic book mythology, including what appears to be impending doom for New York City - and maybe the world - if our heroes can’t find each other and get a handle on their identity struggles.
How I Met Your Mother 7 p.m. Monday, CBS: Barney might have finally met his match when Jane Seymour guest stars as Marshall’s sexy, older professor. Barney offers to make this professor happy for Marshall so that she’ll stop taking her divorce out on the class. The way Barney generally leaves his conquests might not make her altogether happy. Dog Whisperer
5 p.m. Monday, National Geographic Channel: When pet owners’ lifesaver Cesar Millan returns with all new episodes, one of the first cases he takes on is a Maltese dyed bright pink by its owner. The problem is that the dog likes to pee on the carpet. Can you really blame her? Some people get cranky over a bad dye job, even when it was their own choice. How many shocked faces will Cesar make at this pet owner?
