Hands down the coolest primetime FV show to come out in a long, long time, if not ever. 2. Invisibility cloaking. That's right. American and British sci- entists have taken the fist step towards creating a full invisibility cloak by de- flecting waves around the object as if it didn't exist. Works on microwaves right now, but with further work it should also fool radars and the naked eye. Halloween Flicks 1. The Exorcist Actually; we're too scared to watch this one,., 2. Rocky Horror Picture Show You might not think a musical can be scary, but try going to a Halloween showing of this cult classic where fans dress up and recreate scenes from the move, and see how pétrified you get. 3.

Ghostbusters Halloween just isn't complete until you've heard the song. 9, Thriller In case you didn't know-- yes, Michael Jackson actually has a movie where -he lives in a castle, dances, and tries to steal’ the children away from their parents. Creepy. 10. Gremlins The first Gremlins movie was both amusing, and scary [at least when we were younger]. More scary than the sec- ond, more comedy-centered sequel, at least. These little buggers'll mess ya’ up! 3, Bill Murray While in Scotland recently, the 56- year-old actor turned up at a party being thrown by Scariinavian college students. He cracked some jokes, did the dishes, and then left. ‘4, The Cliks- “Cry Me A River.” This hot new Canadian band make Justin Timberlake rock out. 5. UNICEF After scrapping the tradition of hay- ing children collect money while trick- or-treating, this organization is back, By focusing on specific projects (schools in Malawi), they are able to make a greater impact, and people understand what they're donating for a little better,
