His daughter tells him that it's [[ActorAllusion been five years and he should just get it over it]]. In the same episode, the BodyOfTheWeek is found in a graveyard with a stake through his heart.

* ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'': The aformentioned original series books were adapted into TV episodes, and the "Haunted Mask" episodes actually took place around Halloween.

** "[[Recap/CheersS3E4FairyTalesCanComeTrue Fairy Tales Can Come True]]": The bar has a costume party, and Cliff dresses up as Ponce de Leon. Being encased in a suit of armor gives the notoriously shy Cliff the courage to talk to a woman.

** "The Satanic Curses": Jealous of their status as TrueCompanions, Irene summons Satanic powers to curse Berg, Pete and Sharon. Berg becomes increasingly deformed, Pete grows Ashley's head on his shoulder and Sharon grows a penis.

** Season Five had two. One was "The Witches of Pennbrook", where Jack dates a girl who claims to be a witch, and serves as a {{crossover}} with ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch''. The second was the SlasherMovie-themed "[[Recap/BoyMeetsWorldS5E17AndThenThereWasShawn And Then There Was Shawn]]", where the gang is trapped inside the school with an unknown killer during [[DetentionEpisode detention]], [[CouldntFindAPen bloody message and all]]. However, the latter episode aired in February and the former serves as the ''actual'' Halloween episode.

* ''Series/ScreamQueens'' had a special Halloween episode for each of its seasons, like its sister-series ''Series/AmericanHorrorStory''. Each season also opens up on a flashback to a plot-important death happening on Halloween night.

* Season two of ''Series/ScreamTVSeries'' ended with a two-part Halloween episode where, after the events of the prior two seasons, the surviving cast decide to head to Shallow Grove Island for a vacation. Two of them, Stavo and Noah, take the opportunity to research a local {{urban legend|s}} concerning a local Lizzie Borden-esque murderer named Anna Hobbs -- just in time for people to start getting killed again.

** The second one is Season 7's "The Children of Halloween", where Walker must rescue Alex and several of her charges at the HOPE Center from being sacrificed by devil worshippers. Befitting its nature as a Halloween episode, instead of the normal fonts shown for the episode title, as well as the end credits, the episode's title and credits are all decked out in the Halloween font.

* ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'' has a direct-to-video entry called "Barney's Halloween Party." It actually covers Halloween traditions well, but emphasis is placed on dressing up and playing pretend rather than anything scary[[note]] except for a footprint ghost craft. Even then, the focus was on how messy the activity was[[/note]]. Once the show switched to a {{three shorts}} format, there was a two-parter, with the first part focusing on Riff struggling to choose a costume, and the second finds BJ helping a boy named Ramon trick-or-treat without his mother for the first time. Riff puts together a one-man band costume, and BJ and Baby Bop point out that he basically dressed as himself, to which Barney says it's fun to be yourself anytime of the year. This was all built around a big event at the park where kids could trick or treat at different stations without being too far away from their families. When Ramon's treats fall out of a hole in his trick-or-treat bag, BJ shares his with Ramon and the other kids share theirs with BJ.

* ''Series/BearInTheBigBlueHouse'' had a Halloween episode where made a point of telling the audience that Halloween is nothing to be afraid of, because it's just pretend.

* ''Series/{{Dinosaurs}}'' had an episode which originally aired on October 31 where Robbie, stuck home baby-sitting Baby, told a scary story about becoming a [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent were-caveman]]. This scared Baby so much he was going to tell on Robbie unless he was given candy. Since there was none in the house Robbie took Baby next door to ask for some.
-->'''Neighbor:''' Is this some kind of trick?
-->'''Robbie:''' No, it's just a treat for the baby.
** They're so successful getting candy that they decide to do it every year.

* ''Series/FraggleRock'' had an episode (not explicitly referred to as a Halloween episode, but it ''was'' released on at least one Halloween-themed home video release) called "The Terrible Tunnel" about a place where Fraggles went and supposedly disappeared.

* After decades of building up a library of home media on the subject, Sesame Street produced a proper Halloween episode as the season 46 finale. It debuted time for Halloween 2016 on Creator/{{HBO}} and a year later on Creator/{{PBS}}. The show's posthumous tribute to Jerry Nelson, who played Count Von Count, isn't directly addressed as a Halloween episode. However, it featured most every character involved dressing as the Count and aired on Halloween 2013.

* ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'' has one titled "Halloween" in which the characters dress up in outrageous costumes and gather private stashes of candy. Through the first three songs "It is Fall", "Halloween Party Song", and "Trick or Treat" the characters learn what happens on Halloween, and just as important, the fourth song "Too Much Candy" helps the characters to understand eating candy in moderation.

* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' has "The Children of Halloween", where Walker must rescue Alex and several of her charges at the HOPE Center from being sacrificed by devil worshippers.

* The last episode of ''Series/DeadLikeMe'', on Halloween the {{Glamour}}s that Reapers use to avoid being recognized by the living don't work, allowing George's sister to recognize her. There's also a SerialKiller.
