Actress Patricia Arquette is to be inserted into her favorite horror movie as part of a special Halloween episode of her spooky TV drama Medium.

The show's executive producer, Glenn Gordon Caron, has bought the rights to George A. Romero's Night Of The Living Dead and plans to use the film as a backdrop for the upcoming special.

He says, "We're going to insert Patricia into it. It's going to be sort of the landscape of her dreams during that particular episode."

And horror film fan Arquette is thrilled: "I was so excited about it because I love that movie... When I was a teenager it was kind of, like, when you start breaking away from the establishment and your parents. I'd find these jewels after school at a weird time, in the hot California sun, watching this weird movie so it's really exciting to be in it. I started out in horror films - A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - so I love a good monster movie."
