PRESS RELEASE
"SQUARES" OFFERS TASTY "HOLLYWOOD SCARES" EPISODES TO TRICK OR TREATERS, AIRING OCTOBER 29-31
Los Angeles, CA; October 16, 2001 - Hollywood Squares has once again put up the cobwebs and laid down the gravestones for the series' annual, lighthearted Halloween celebration, newly entitled "Hollywood Scares." During the final days of the month (October 29-31), viewers can tune in to see some of their favorite film and television celebrities in outrageous costumes, representing larger-than-life characters from real life and fiction, showcased amid a spookily decorated set.

A number of masked marquee names will join Center Square Whoopi Goldberg and Emmy Award-winning host Tom Bergeron to play the funnier, faster game, including Martin Mull (The Ellen Show) as Sherlock Holmes, Andrea Martin as The Bride of Frankenstein, Jeffrey Tambor as Julius Caesar, Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond) as Mae West, Fred Willard as Elvis, Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy The Vampire Slayer) as Robin Hood, Vivica A. Fox (feature film Two Can Play At That Game) as Cleopatra and Squares regular Gilbert Gottfried as the Wolfman.

Despite being a very convincing werewolf, Gilbert Gottfried said, "When I was a kid growing up, my favorite Halloween costume - and it's still my favorite costume today - was to dress up as a short, loud, annoying Jew. It requires extensive makeup." Meanwhile, Tom Bergeron quipped, "I'm planning to go trick-or-treating as Wink Martindale."

After the 31st, the costumes and cobwebs will be put away and replaced by a series of all-new environmentally-themed episodes with activist/actress Jane Fonda, entitled "Protect Our Planet," beginning November 1-2 and continuing into the following week, November 5-7.

This season, Squares has introduced a faster pace, bigger prizes and a renewed emphasis on the "classic bluff." Local at-home viewers can win daily prizes along with on-air contestant "partners" in the series' new "Secret Square Sweepstakes," which premiered on-air October 8. Complete rules and entry information can be found at www.hollywoodsquares.com.
