Itotodo ng “Spooky Nights” ang pananakot sa huli nitong episode sa taong 2011 kasama ang mag-asawang Raymart Santiago at Claudine Barretto pati na rin ang Magic Palayok child star na si Angeli Nicole Sanoy.
Maganda ang taong 2011 para sa horror program at patuloy itong nangunguna sa time slot nito tuwing Sabado nang gabi. Nitong Disyembre 3 at 10, nakapagtala ang “Spooky Nights” ng karampatang 29.7% at 29.9% household audience shares sa Mega Manila ayon sa overnight data ng Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
Ngayong Sabado, siguradong pakakaabangan din ng mga manonood ang “Spooky Nights Presents: Perya”. Sa isang maliit na perya nagaganap ang kwentong ito tungkol sa dalawang malungkot na taong muling nakatuklas sa kahulugan ng Pasko matapos makilala ang isang ulila.
Marami nang nanlokong lalaki kay Jackie (Claudine) kaya sinisikap niyang magdamit-lalaki upang hindi na siya maligawan pa. Sa kabilang banda, ang kaibigan niyang si Jilmer (Raymart) ay palagi ring sawi sa pag-ibig dahil sinasamantala ng mga babae ang kanyang kabaitan.
Makikilala ni Jackie si Alice dahil sa isang insidente sa peryang kanyang pinapamahalaan. Nang malaman niyang ulila na ito, nagdesisyon agad si Jackie na kupkupin ang bata kahit tutol si Jilmer at nag-aalalang baka kasama si Alice sa sindikato.
Ang hindi alam nina Jackie at Jilmer, mas nakakatakot pa sa sindikato si Alice dahil nababalot ng kadiliman ang nakaraan nito. Sadyang desperado sa pagmamahal ng magulang ang bata at nagiging psychotic obsession na niya ito, dahilan upang tapusin niya ang sinumang bumigo sa kanya. Matatakasan pa ba siya nina Jackie at Jilmer ngayong nakapasok na siya sa kanilang buhay?
Kasama sina Mel Kimura at Tom Olivar, ang “Spooky Nights Presents: Perya” ay pinagtulungang likhain nina Direktor Uro Q. Dela Cruz at Headwriter Senedy Que.
Huwag palampasin ang huling handog ng “Spooky Nights” sa taong 2011 pagkatapos ng Manny Many Prizes ngayong Sabado sa GMA-7.

Nationwide ratings winner GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) further hiked its lead in television ratings versus competitors ABS-CBN and TV5 from October to November, according to broadcast industry’s most trusted ratings service provider Nielsen TV Audience Measurement.
Based on full November data (November 27 to 30 based on overnight readings), GMA remained the number one free-to-air television channel with 37.5 total day average household audience share points, ahead of ABS-CBN’s 29.3 points by an imposing 8.2 points; and much higher than TV5’s 15.
GMA was notably the only TV station that grew its total day household audience share performance across all areas this November relative to the previous month.
Based on an estimated five viewers per household, GMA’s margins translate to almost 1.5 million more viewers from all over the country over ABS-CBN; and 4.2 million more viewers over TV5.
In the list of overall top 30 programs, GMA’s programs outnumbered ABS-CBN’s. There were 16 Kapuso programs in the list with the historic boxing special Pacquiao-Marquez III: World Welterweight Championship clinching the top spot.
GMA especially made remarkable nationwide ratings performance in both daytime and afternoon blocks, where it left behind competitors by double digit margins.
In Urban Luzon, which houses 77 percent of total television households nationwide, GMA hit 41.3 total day audience share points, higher than ABS-CBN’s 25 by 16.3 points; and ahead of TV5’s 15.5 by 25.8 points.
The margins translate to 2.3 million more viewers from the said area attuned to GMA over ABS-CBN; and 3.7 million more viewers over TV5.
In the Kapuso bailiwick Mega Manila, which comprises 58 percent of total television households nationwide, GMA registered 42.2 share points, 18.9 points ahead of ABS-CBN’s 23.3 points; 25.8 points away from TV5’s 16.4 points.
The figures translate to GMA having two million more viewers over ABS-CBN; and 2.8 million more viewers over TV5.
There were 21 GMA programs in the list of overall top 30 programs in Urban Luzon; while 22 GMA programs made it to the same list in Mega Manila. The Pacquiao-Marquez III: World Welterweight Championship led all programs in both rosters. In the top 10 list, GMA almost made a clean sweep with eight entries in Mega Manila, and seven in Urban Luzon.
Other GMA programs that showed consistent performance in both areas include the longest running noontime show Eat Bulaga, banner newscast 24 Oras, primetime shows Amaya, Iglot, Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho, and Munting Heredera.
The Nielsen TV Audience Measurement used by GMA is used by 21 companies including two other local networks, namely, TV5 and Solar Entertainment; Faulkner Media; CBN Asia; 13 advertising agencies and three regional clients. On the other hand, ABS-CBN is the only major local TV network reportedly subscribing to Kantar Media, formerly known as TNS.
In Mega Manila alone, the Nielsen TV Audience Measurement has a sample size of 880 homes as compared to Kantar Media’s 770 homes. Nationwide, Nielsen has a total sample size of 2,005 homes compared to the lower sample size of 1,370 utilized by Kantar Media.
