Take those Pillsbury ghost cookies out of the oven, pour yourself a nice cup of apple cider, and grab a blanket; it’s Halloween T.V. time! Halloween episodes of television series are arguably some of the best episodes of a show’s whole catalogue. Sitting on the couch and watching your favorite characters experience Halloween while your Jack-O-Lantern sits outside on your stoop creates such a festive vibe. Unfortunately, with the rise of streaming, many shows don’t have episodic holiday specials anymore — either a whole season is dropped all at once or the show’s season is so short, so there is no point for a holiday-specific episode. To get that Spooky TV magic back, we have compiled a list of 10 beloved Halloween episodes from your favorite shows.
