BURBANK, CA (October 19, 2004) - It's a spine-tingling Halloween on

heart-pounding adventures and Ha-Ha-Halloween horrors.

CALLING ALL POKÉMON TRAINERS! Kids WB, Nintendo and Hasbro are
joining forces for the Kids WB Pokémon "Take the Challenge" Sweepstakes to
give kids the chance to win one of 500 Pokémon TCG: EX Battle Stadium
box sets or one of 250 Hasbro Pokémon Pokédex Advanced. Kids can take
the Pokémon challenge by watching for the "Take the Challenge Match-ups"
each weekday afternoon (3:00-5:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Kids WB and use
their trainer skills to decide which Pokémon would win in a competition!
For the first time ever, Pokémon - from all evolutions - will compete
against each other. With a different competition each day from Monday,
October 18 through Saturday, October 23 (8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. ET/ 7:00
a.m. - 11:00 a.m. PT), kids will be directed to go online to
www.Kids WB.com to enter for their chance to win. In conjunction with this
exciting sweepstakes, beginning Monday, October 25, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!
will join the weekday lineup with a double-dose hour-block of episodes.

A SCREAM-FILLED MORNING: In celebration of this holiday event, on
Saturday, October 23, Kids WB will jump-start the fun with a new morning
lineup. The revised Saturday schedule will include all-new double
airings of animé-hits Yu-Gi-Oh! Waking The Dragons (8:00 a.m. ET/7:00 a.m.
PT) and Pokémon - Advanced Challenge (11:30 a.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT). In
addition, on Saturday, October 30, the spook-tacular morning will be
highlighted by all-new Halloween "scream-themed" episodes of kids' favorite
series, including this season's breakout hit The Batman,
action-comedy-adventure Xiaolin Showdown, high-flying adventure Teen Titans and
Latin-flavored ¡Mucha Lucha! Gigante.

KIDS' W-BOO!'S SPINE-TINGLING HA-HA-HALLOWEEN BEGINS: Kicking-off on
Saturday, October 23, Kids WB's favorite characters - including The
Batman, the Joker, Omi, Jade, Uncle, Joey Wheeler and The Holiday Sock -
will pack their bags and flashlights and hit the road for one of the
most terrifying trips yet...the "Way Outta The Way Spooky Road Trip."
Scouring the country for the spookiest sites out there, the characters
will take viewers on a frightful trip around the country, only making
stops at the scariest locations they find, including haunted roads,
monster-filled lakes, terrifying bat caves and more! The "Way Outta The Way
Spooky Road Trip" will conclude on Saturday, October 30.

This past summer, Kids WB and the Queen Mary hosted the "Kids WB
Spooky Sleepover Sweepstakes," receiving more than 15,000 entries from
kids across the country who thought they had the guts to survive a
sleepover aboard one of the most haunted ships in the world....the Queen
Mary. Nine Grand Prize winners had the frightful opportunity to board the
spooky ship and get an exclusive tour of the mysterious vessel -
complete with a freaky feast, ghost stories in the boiler room and a game of
"dare and scare."

From its charming quarters to the depths of its darkest corridors, the
Queen Mary has been a constant source for stories about ghostlike
sightings and other unexplained activity on the historic ship. The Grand
Prize winners boarded the ship for two nights and received an exclusive
haunted tour aboard the vessel. Six-year-old Steven Farber from
Pennsylvania and six-year-old Sean Kennah from Montana were the youngest of
the Grand Prize winners. The seven remaining winners included Rachel St.
Pierre (age 8) from Michigan, Johanna Callahan (age 8) from
Pennsylvania, Cole Beatty (age 9) from Texas, Teran "T.J." Keck (age 9) from
California, Cody Dorn (age 10) from South Carolina, Megan Raposa (age 11)
from South Dakota and Charles Schuchmann (age 11) from Florida. On
Saturday, October 30, viewers are invited to tune in to Kids WB (8:00 a.m.
ET - 12:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 a.m. PT - 11:00 a.m. PT) and join the
sleepover to find out if ghosts really do exist aboard the Queen Mary!
