The new experience follows the successful launch of zone·tv's holiday Santa Tracker and is initially being offered to all X1 video customers. Getting families into the spirit is easy; just say "Halloween Countdown" into the X1 remote to launch the destination.

Not only is the offering new to pay-TV audiences, but it will also introduce Halloween Around the World, zone·tv's first foray into original video production. This short form program takes a spooky Halloween tour to intriguing cities around the world on Halloween night. Fiftee attractions are on the trick-or-treat tour, including visits to Colorado's Ghost Mines, Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary (a holiday attraction in itself!), Austin's Dogtoberfest, and a witch tour in Salem.

"Halloween is more than a one-day holiday. Americans spent more than an estimated $8 billion on the holiday last year and it has turned into a month-long celebration. Halloween Countdown will include fun content to help the whole family get in a 'spooky' mood. We give everyone a chance to become a kid again," said Jeff Weber (News - Alert), CEO of zone·tv.

Halloween Countdown is a free web-based experience on X1 that includes a unique mix of Halloween-themed interactive content including:

• Halloween Food - Seasonal recipes like Ghost Twinkies
• Arts and Crafts - How-to's on everything from pumpkin carving to costume making
• Tunes and Tales - Sing along like an Oompa Loompa from Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, or snap your fingers to the Addams Family theme
• Halloween Radio - Continuous thematic music of this very special season
