Sitcom Halloween Episodes - The Final Part
Shows That Had Only One or Two Great Halloween Episodes
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Hex and the Single Guy (Also, I know that Fresh Prince had another Halloween episode, but this one was world's better, so it's the only one worth mentioning.)
Saved by the Bell - Mystery Weekend (Yes, this isn't a Halloween one, but murder mystery weekends count.)
The special, two-part season six Halloween episode of Growing Pains (part one & part two)
Blossom - Season Three - All Hallows Eve
Living Single - Trick or Trust
Who’s The Boss - Misery (not a Halloween one, but it’s a Misery parody and it’s perfect)
Modern Family - okay I don’t like this show, but I love these two episodes: Halloween and The Last Halloween
Bob's Burgers (list below) (clearly I should add an entire new post for this show)
Runner Ups - Shows That Had Some Great Halloween Episodes
Family Matters
Community
Frasier
Clueless
Perfect Strangers
Can't even tell you how giddy this screenshot always makes me.
If you're wondering where my Simpsons Halloween post is - aww, you're really cute. Of course I love those episodes, but I can't possibly list my favourites for you to peruse. That's the joy of watching those episodes, picking and choosing a few different ones to watch each year since there are so many to choose from!
And for the last time, here are the links to my previous posts on Halloween sitcom episodes:
Part Four - Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
Part Seven - Two Guys and a Girl

Part Seven - Two Guys and a Girl Halloween Episodes
Two Guys and A Girl used to be Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place. (My boyfriend knew this tiny piece of information, which impressed the hell out me on our first date; I'm easily impressed.) This show was probably the best thing to ever happen to ABC and only lasted four beautiful seasons.
And the season four episode The Satanic Curses? Might be my favourite television Halloween episode of all time. Everything about it is perfect. Me and my brother Robbie lost our minds laughing at the part when Ryan Reynolds' arms fall off. Fuck. So funny. And the other two episodes listed are great, too. The season two episode is surprisingly good, too - especially Ryan Reynolds reaction at 15 minutes, 55 seconds. Makes me laugh so much. Watch! Links below.
Season Two - Two Guys, a Girl and a Psycho Halloween
Season Three - Halloween 2: Mind Over Body
Season Four - The Satanic Curses

Part Six - Martin Halloween Episodes
Don't judge me, I love these episodes. I bought season one a long time ago when I suddenly remembered this show's existence, so I came home and put it on and could only watch a few episodes. It's really hard to watch more than a few 'cause of how dated and ridiculous it is now. Nevertheless, these episodes? Gems. Links are below.
Season One - The Night He Came Home
Season Five - Boo's In The House

Marcia Wallace, 1942 - 2013
The main thing you should know about me? I dearly and intimately love The Simpsons. Not just the first ten seasons, not just a few great episodes and not just a couple of characters. I won't be able to fully express how I feel about this beautifully perfect show, probably ever. Things happen in my daily life (and possibly yours as well) constantly where I'm reminded of certain lines or scenes, and I hope that never changes. I can't possibly describe the amount of joy it's brought me. To be honest, even if I could explain how I feel about the show, you just wouldn't understand how deep it goes. (I hear how ridiculous that sounds, but yeah - you really wouldn't get it. I barely understand how strongly I feel about it.)
And I've worried about this day - the one where a major character/irreplaceable actor or actress should pass away in real life. It's been almost 24 years and I figured it had to happen at some point - and I knew I wouldn't be ready. I'm grateful the show is still going strong, but obviously this is a sad time since Marcia Wallace (Edna Krabappel) was an absolute gem.
This was my Halloween costume from 2012 - and while I was going to repost it this week anyway since October 31st is coming up, I definitely felt the need to post it now more than ever. She was such an incredible voice actress and there's no doubt that she'll be greatly missed.
I've read that they're going to retire her character (like they did with Phil Hartman) and that couldn't make me love the show any more.
Goodnight, Edna K.
Part Five - Dawson's Creek Halloween Episodes
I remember watching this beloved show every Wednesday night on The WB with my brother Robbie. It was a simpler time. I know that teen dramas aren't really known for their Halloween episodes, but these still stand out in my mind when I think about the ones I remember most.
Yes, some of these are not Halloween episodes, but they're still scary. Seasons one and three are probably the favourites here. Links below.
Season One - The Scare
Season Three - Escape From Witch Island
Season Five - Four Scary Stories
Season Six - Living Dead Girl

Part Four - Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Halloween Episodes
Okay, you might think is a lame show to include in the list. I, however, am the owner of this site, so I'm afraid you'll have to deal with it. Would I probably not be as into this show as I was when I was 14? Maybe not. But that doesn't that take away from how fun it was to watch in 1999. Sure, some of it was really bad - but it also had its moments. Such as my favourite things:
Salem, the cat
Um, I don't know - MAGIC!
As a kid, I always liked to see what the new outfit she'd wear at the end of the opening credits would be.
(Did you think I was going to list Harvey here? Bitch, please! Never liked him. Too vanilla. Sabrina could always do better.)
All of these episodes are available on YouTube because YouTube cares about you and wants you to have these in your life. Personally, I liked seasons one, two and six the best.
Season One - A Halloween Story
Season Two - A River of Candy Corn Runs Through It
Season Three - Good Will Haunting
Season Four - Episode LXXXI: The Phantom Menace
Season Five - The Halloween Scene
Season Six - Murder on the Halloween Express

Part Three - Boy Meets World Halloween Episodes
All you need to know about Boy Meets World?
This last episode listed in this post is one that I'm still in love with and still makes me warm inside.
Cory's brother Eric is too far beyond great/hilarious, especially in the final season. Buy that season.
Topanga will forever be the hottest thing to come out of ABC Family Channel.
I know there was technically a season one Halloween episode, but it really had nothing to do with the wondrousness of this holiday so I've omitted it. Links below!
Season Two - Who's Afraid of Cory Wolf?
Season Five - The Witches of Pennbrook
Season Five (not really a Halloween one, but scary) - And Then There Was Shawn (this episode also happens to be THE BEST ONE OF ALL)
(If you're into Halloween episodes in general, go on over here and here to read parts one and two of this series.)

Part Two - Roseanne Halloween Episodes
Part two? Has to be Roseanne. Other than having one of the sexiest opening theme songs of all time, Roseanne was obviously in the top three of sitcoms with the best Halloween episodes. These were the episodes that got me into the show in general and they're still great to this day. (The worst one is probably season nine, stay away from nine!) But all the others? Gold.
You can watch all the Halloween episodes on YouTube - the links are conveniently located for you below.
Season Two - BOO!
Season Three - Trick Or Treat
Season Four - Trick Me Up, Trick Me Down
Season Five - Halloween IV
Season Six - Halloween V
Season Seven - Skeleton in the Closet
Season Eight - Halloween: the Final Chapter
Season Nine - Satan, Darling
Or if you love these episodes a lot, you should really buy this DVD I just got for $5 that contains all of the Halloween episodes.

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving
Not the best Charlie Brown special (obviously), but still all right. Also, if you have any nieces or nephews or know any small kids then make them watch this. It brings me down to think that kids today wouldn't watch these specials.
Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
