* Some talk shows have a tradition where the hosts dress up for Halloween. Usually, this involves elaborate costumes and themes or skits. In the case of ''Live with Kelly'', it's basically a perennial sketch show.
* Halloween episodes tend to be rare in British series as the occasion is less of a big deal in the United Kingdom, but ''Series/MyFamily'' (often cited as an "American-''style''" sitcom) did have one - which, for no apparent reason, was released in March.
** BritishBrevity? Just a guess, but it probably finished it's season in April and didn't return again until January, therefore there wouldn't have been much choice.
* ''Series/SeventhHeaven'': The first season had a Halloween episode where 6 of the 7 family members actually go out to celebrate Halloween but Mary (a young Creator/JessicaBiel) makes a point to stay home alone to eat ice cream, have a bath, and dance around the house ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLw-jt2qrA the scene]] is rather well-known still), stating that "This is the ''only'' evening of the year I can have the house for myself!" (given that they are a family of 7 (later even 9) that also constantly have visitors, that's probably fair). The rest of the episode figured AnAesop where younger sister Lucy initially was scared of a disfigured old man but learned that she shouldn't judge people on their appearance, and he actually had a Heart Of Gold. Catherine Hicks, who played the mother in the series, later said that out of all the 11 years of episodes, this was her favorite one.
* ''Series/SixHundredSixtySixParkAvenue'' has Episode 5, "A Crowd of Demons": The Dorans throw a costume party, which is crashed by both a ghost who tries to kill Jane, and someone with a grudge against Gavin.
* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' had a Halloween episode called "Halloween with the Addams Family", later remade as an episode of ''The New Addams Family'', that had the family unintentionally scare off a pair of crooks who unsuccessfully tried to rob them on Halloween night.
* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse'' had a two-part Halloween story, which is the only time the ghosts are allowed to walk outside the house.
** The second episode of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum'' is called "Tricks and Treats" , originally aired close to Halloween, and takes place on the night before Halloween, but whether Halloween is relevant to the episode is unclear; it might be the reason the kid who is brought into the asylum is possessed, but nothing confirms that.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' had a company Halloween party for the evil supernatural law firm, analogous to a company Christmas party.
* ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' has "The Tale of the Twisted Claw" which featured two boys trick-or-treating at the house of a witch who gives them a magical claw that grants wishes.
* In the ''[[Series/BabylonFive Babylon 5]]'' episode "Day of the Dead", several of the main characters are visited by deceased associates on the Brakiri holiday of that name. It's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane left ambiguous]] whether or not this is a genuine supernatural phenomenon, an issue blurred further by the existence in this universe of telepathy (including [[LivingMemory residual mental "echoes"]]) and [[SoulJar techniques of storing and capturing people's essences]].
* ''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.
* ''Series/{{Beauty and the Beast|1987}}'' has an episode which showed Vincent able to walk among normal humans on Halloween, since in Greenwich Village, they think he is only another reveller in the annual Halloween parade.
* The ''Series/{{Benson}}'' episode "The Stranger" has the governor's mansion visited by a "Mr. G. Reaper" on a stormy Halloween night.
* ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'', unsurprisingly, had several of these.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' had a couple of Halloween episodes. The first one had Penny hosting a Halloween party at her apartment and the four guys all dressed up as Franchise/TheFlash and had to change their costumes. The second involved a Halloween party at the Comic Book Store that Raj helped Stuart, the owner, set up.
* ''Series/TheBill'' had a Halloween episode with the cops on stake-out swapping ghost stories from their past careers, each of which [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane could have had a rational explanation]], until [[AgentScully DS Stanton]] [[SkepticismFailure encountered a definite ghost]].
* In the ''Series/{{Bones}}'' episode "Mummy in the Maze," Brennan, Booth, and [[TheLabRat "Squints"]] work to solve the murder of a girl left in a Halloween maze while getting ready for a Halloween party. Costumes include the captain of the Titanic, a cow (well, the back end of one), Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}, and Cher. Brennan and Booth end up catching the bad guy while dressed as WonderWoman and a Squint, respectively.
* ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' had one in season two where Cory thinks he's been bitten by a werewolf and one in season five where Jack dates a girl who claims to be a witch. Another episode, "Boys II Mensa" from season one, had a Halloween-themed B plot.
* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': "Fright Night," from Season 4, is all about ghosts and ghouls and the kids scaring each other. Originally aired in late October 1972, this episode is often rerun on Halloween.
* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' has two:
** "Halloween" in the first season centers on a bet between Holt and Peralta.
** "Halloween II" in the second season is a sequel episode and establishes that bet will be an annual thing.
* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Halloween is a holiday for the supernatural, and there's an unspoken rule about vampires and other supernatural terrors keeping to themselves and staying out of trouble for that day, but that doesn't make it any easier for the Scoobies.
** Season 2 had "Halloween", where the trick-or-treaters in Sunnydale are subjected to a literal case of BecomingTheCostume thanks to Giles's former friend, Ethan Rayne. This unfortunately includes Buffy, who chose to dress up as an 18th century lady in an effort to impress Angel, and becomes a DistressedDamsel for the duration of the spell. And just when you think things couldn't get any worse, Spike finds out about Ethan's antics through Drusilla, and comes pretty close to offing Buffy.
** Season 4 had "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E4FearItself Fear, Itself]]", where someone getting blood on a supposedly fake mystical symbol makes the college HauntedHouse significantly more lethal, subjecting Xander, Willow, Oz, and Buffy to their current fears. Xander gets rendered invisible to the others (being left behind while the others are at college), a simple tracking spell of Willow's gets ''way'' out of hand (getting too far out of her league with the magicks), Oz transforms and accidentally hurts Willow (losing control and hurting those he loves), and Buffy gets stuck fighting a bunch of zombies by herself (being abandoned by those she loves and being alone because she is the Slayer). Also memorable for introducing Anya's fear of bunnies, [[Awesome/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Giles making a door with a chainsaw]], and [[spoiler:the five inches tall Gachnar]].
** Season 6 had "All the Way", where Dawn sneaks out to raise hell with her friend Janice and a couple boys, only to discover they're part of a group of vampires trying to rebel against the "Halloween holiday" spirit. Also provides setup for some of the events in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling Once More, With Feeling]]". (Willow using a spell on Tara, Xander and Anya's engagement, Giles's fear that Buffy isn't taking responsibility because of him)
* On ''Series/{{Castle}}'', Rick Castle dresses up as [[{{Series/Firefly}} Mal Reynolds]] during his Halloween episode. 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.
* There are two Halloween episodes in ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', the first being "All Halliwell's Eve" in season 3 where the sisters get sent back in time to colonial Virginia. Contains three {{Shout Out}}s as Phoebe dresses up as Elvira and Piper dresses up as Glinda. Phoebe also cackles while riding a broomstick. Another episode in season 8, "Kill Billie Vol. 1", is set on Halloween but has a separate plot entirely.
* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' did a Halloween episode ("Chuck vs. The Sandworm") that among other things featured Halloween decorations, a Halloween party (with Chuck & Morgan going as a sandworm from Dune), and Morgan's new clothes style being mistaken for a Gordon Gekko outfit.
* ''Series/{{Community}}'' had one in each of its first four seasons.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS1E07IntroductionToStatistics Introduction to Statistics]]" has Annie hosting a Dia Del Muertos party. Notable for Abed's Franchise/{{Batman}} costume/voice.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS2E06Epidemiology Epidemiology]]" (screencapped above) has the dean [[TooDumbToLive getting biohazardous material from an army surplus store and thinking it's taco meat]], which starts a {{zombie apocalypse}}. Strangely for a show with no fantasy elements, they manage to handle the resolution in a way that leaves the episode entirely in continuity.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS3E05HorrorFictionInSevenSpookySteps Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps]]" has Britta discovering that one of the group displays homicidal tendencies, and pressuring the group into telling scary stories in an attempt to weed out the killer.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS4E02ParanormalParentage Paranormal Parentage]]" has the group visiting Pierce's mansion, which he claims to be haunted.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'':
** The episode "About Face" is set around Halloween, and featured a villain who killed his victims by cutting their faces off, after terrorizing them a bit with missing persons flyers with their image on them that he'd cover the inside and outside of their houses with.
** "Devil's Night" has [[PyroManiac a serial arsonist]] who always strikes during Halloween festivities.
* ''Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhqTNzpmYo Halloween 2016's]] episode is a variation that focused more on AdultFear focusing on a [[BadFuture dystopian future]] comprised of all the worst case scenarios if Donald Trump won the election [[spoiler: ...he did weeks later]]. While it has tons of NightmareFuel there are moments of BlackComedy here and there to be consistent with the tone of the rest of the show.
* The last episode of ''Series/DeadLikeMe'' which featured a SerialKiller.
* ''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/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger'' had the episode "The Prince of Halloween," notable for being the first Halloween episode in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'''s 40 year history.
* ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': "The Ghost of the General Lee" and "The Hazzardgate Horror" are two supernatural-themed episodes that were originally aired around Halloween, and are often shown in reruns at that same time of the year.
* ''Series/EvenStevens'' had an episode where everyone starts acting weird after getting eye exams. Turns out Ren was brainwashing everyone and turning them into "Renplicates" (The plot is a little reminiscent of Invasion of the Body snatchers.) In the end Ren is unable to fully make Louis, the only one that she hasn't turned yet, into a Renplicate. This then cuts to Louis telling the story to Beans. Louis tries to convince him that this is not a story and actually happened despite things appearing as if none of the events ever happened.
* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' has the episode "Halloween Candy" where Ray buys a pack of condoms on Halloween so that he and Debra can have sex after they take the kids Trick or Treating. But when they come back, they discover that Frank accidentally gave them all out to the Trick or Treaters, thinking that they were chocolate coins. Frank is dressed as Frankenstein's Monster, [[ActorAllusion referring to Peter Boyle's role in]] ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.
* ''Series/FamilyMatters'' did this once every year. In one of the more famous episodes, we meet an evil ventriloqist doll come to life named Steevil. In the final Halloween episode, he returns with a partner named Carlsbad.
* ''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.
* There are a number of episodes of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' set at Halloween, usually focusing on the show's traditional madcap antics wrung though a themed costume party of some kind. A notable party at Niles' apartment where the guests all dress as classic literary characters centers around Roz being pregnant and many overheard conversations that lead to hilarious confusions about the situation.\\
\\
The episode "A Room Full of Heroes" sees Frasier holding a Halloween party where each partygoer comes as their personal "hero" (for instance, Martin comes as Joe [=DiMaggio=], Daphne as EltonJohn, Roz as WonderWoman and Niles as his father); Frasier himself dresses as UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud, and one of the main jokes revolves around all the children thinking he eats brains.
* ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' managed to squeeze one of these into its short run. In fact, "Tricks and Treats" was actually the second episode of the series.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' had a Halloween party featuring Chandler & Ross in the lamest arm wrestling match ever.
* ''Series/GameShakers'': the episode "Scared Tripless" about Double G pranking his son, and the other kids mercilessly.
* ''Series/GhostWhisperer'''s Halloween episode has Melinda investigating a headless horseman.
* The second season of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' had one of these, with a ''[[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' theme.
* ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'': The afromentioned original series books were adapted into TV episodes.
* ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' had the second season episode La Llorona, featuring the titular spirit abducting children and drowning them, and Monroe borrowing a morningstar from the trailer to use in his decorations.
* ''Series/HappyEndings'' had one entitled "Spooky Endings" where most of the cast went to a huge Halloween bash and the married couple handed out candy to trick-or-treaters in the suburbs... and wind up getting their door stolen.
* In the ''Series/{{Haven}}'' episode "Real Estate", there is a Halloween party and then the heroes and some teens all end up trapped in a supposedly haunted house, which turns out to be a man who was [[GeniusLoci turned into a house]].
* ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' had one in the second season, "Ka Iwi Kapu." Five-0 investigates the murders of two college kids out [[FirstPersonCamera shooting video]] for a [[Film/TheBlairWitchProject documentary]] on legendary [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Hawaiian ghost warriors]] in an [[AncientTomb ancient Hawaiian graveyard]] at [[TemptingFate midnight]] on [[AllHallowsEve Halloween]].
* ''Series/HomeImprovement'' did tons, maybe one every single year, often involving the Taylors throwing a Halloween party, Tim inventing new extra-spooky Halloween decorations, impromptu scary prank competions, etc. Highlights of the series.
* ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' has the episode "iScream on Halloween", which deals with Carly, Sam & Freddie hosting an episode of the eponymous web show from an apartment they believe is haunted. Meanwhile Spencer has to carve the world's biggest pumpkin, but has lost the time to buy candy and has to deal with trick-or-treating kids he is giving random objects to.
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' had two: the RashomonStyle "Who Got Dee Pregnant?" in season 6, and season 8's "Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre", which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin about a wedding gone horribly wrong]] (the action doesn't actually happen on Halloween but involves a lot of the tropes present in such episodes).
* ''Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert'' went all-out on its [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8yakskAfIzs6WwsGsRVDVI October 30, 2015]] episode; completely redecorating the Ed Sullivan Theater in Halloween fare, Colbert dressing as a vampire for the whole show, and dedicating the whole episode to Halloween-based subjects, including a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTXW-tO-fOs performance]] from the satanic metal band Music/{{Ghost}}.
** The October 31, 2016 episode sadly did not go to the same level and was not a full Halloween episode, though it did have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXXBOpNEOrw&index=1&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs Halloween-themed opening sketch]] and a special interview with ghost hunters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg0Hwjb5YtI&index=6&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs The Ghost Brothers]], as well as an acknowledgement and a few Halloween-based jokes in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLH36Tr-8pE&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs&index=2 monologue]], which house band Jon Batiste and Stay Human played out with [[Music/MichaelJackson Thriller]].
* ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' had one where [[AlphaBitch Kate]] took control of organising a Halloween dance and insulted Miranda's Day of the Dead traditions, kicking off a plot where evil spirits decided to punish them for it [[spoiler: but of course it turns out to be a prank to get back at Kate with Miranda's parents in costume]].
* Even ''Series/{{MASH}}'' was able to take time out from the horrors of war to indulge in some Halloween tomfoolery. In the episode "Trick or Treatment", the staff don costumes and share ghost stories, unaware that an apparently dead soldier outside is actually clinging to life. Fortunately, Father Mulcahy realizes the mistake just in time and the soldier is rushed into surgery to save him.
* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' had two: the first sees the boys attempted to keep the classic spirit of Halloween alive after the actual holiday winds up disappointing them by engaging in an elaborate prank, while the other sees Hal becoming paranoid after learning that their house was previously home to a grisly murder while Reese and Dewey face the wrath of an old man they egg while trick-or-treating, leading him to chase them through the entire episode.
* The third-ever episode of ''Series/MarryMe'': Annie and Jake hold a haunted house in defiance of their building's take charge helicopter parent and get in trouble when a boy refuses to leave; Dennah "eliminates the middleman" in her {{sexy whatever outfit}}s and opts to "just go as a slut"; Gil and Kay go on an adult trick-or-treat that allows Gil to stalk his ex-wife.
* Just like ''Home Improvement'', ''Roseanne'', and the ''Simpsons'', ''Series/TheMiddle'' has annual Halloween episodes every year starting in its second season with plots such as Axl and his friends getting stuck offroad when they try to attend a Halloween party, Axl having to recover some kids' stolen candy, and Sue holding a seance.
* The ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' fought the [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Frankenstein_monster Frankenstein monster]] in "Life's A Masquerade" and the [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Mighty_Morphin_1_Monsters#Pumpkin_Rapper Pumpkin Rapper]] in "Trick or Treat" in season one. In the next season, [[BigBad Lord Zedd]] traps Tommy in a dimension with several monsters in ''Zedd's Monster Mash''.
** In ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', the episode "It Came From Angel Grove" featured the surprise return of Lord Zedd and Rita, as Adam awoke on Halloween to find his friends and the rest of the town (including Zordon) transformed into a Universal Horror parody of itself - [[spoiler:which in the end turns out to be AllJustADream.]]
** The ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' two-parter "Ronny on Empty" was set around Halloween, concluding with a costume party held at the mansion.
** ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' has "Party Monsters", an episode where all the previously slain monsters have a Halloween party in the afterlife, discussing their encounters with the Samurai Rangers and how they almost beat them. In short, it was just a ClipShow.
*** ''Samurai'' has now had a second: "Trickster Treat", which is not a clip show though it uses less original footage than "Party Monsters" did and that's not counting Sentai footage.
** ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' has ''Raising Spirits'', another clip show where the group goes to a Halloween party. The monster of the week looks in his crystal ball to see the past of the five teenagers with attitude, but keeps seeing the Power Rangers defeating monsters, not realizing that they are one in the same. Also there was a Megaforce [[http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/power-rangers-megaforce-halloween-promo.html Halloween safety PSA]].
** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' also has a Halloween clip show, "The Ghostest with the Mostest"; one of the Rangers is kidnapped and replaced, but because they were in identical costumes, no one (including the audience) knows who was taken. The clips are used as the Rangers answer questions about their past to prove their identities.
* The ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again" has Adrian Monk trying to recover several candy bars that were contaminated with poison ([[AdultFear some of which were distributed to trick-or-treaters]]), which turns out be the work of some man who poisoned his wife and is trying to make her look like the random victim of a serial killer.
* While it did air 1 day before Halloween ''Series/MostExtremeEliminationChallenge'' pitted Real Monsters and Advertising Mascots against each other (At least on the Broadcast version).
* ''Series/{{Mulaney}}'': "Halloween." Featuring a dead man's apartment, plenty of costumes, and a mean boss who likes firing people on Halloween.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' did two Halloween-themed episodes: with Creator/VincentPrice in season one, and Music/AliceCooper in season three.
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' had three: "Witch Hunt", "Murder 2.0", and "Code of Conduct" in that order.
* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' had a two part Halloween episode, the first part dealt with the annual party at a jock's house. The second was a dream induced by a sugar crash in which Ned was a vampire who was having trouble passing his "turning into a bat" exam, Cookie was a werewolf looking for a transformation trigger to chase off Franken-Loomer, and Moze was a ghost looking to kill someone because she was the only ghost at school.
* ''Series/NewGirl'' has the second season episode "Halloween." Jess is working as a zombie in a haunted house [[SexyWhateverOutfit and Schmidt is dressed as young Abraham Lincoln]] to get into Cece's pants.
* ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' had a Halloween episode in which all the residents of Stratford (except Dick Loudon, [[OnlySaneMan natch]]) become convinced that an [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds alien invasion]] is imminent.
%%* ''Series/NewsRadio'' had one Halloween episode.
* ''Series/NickyRickyDickyAndDawn'': The episode "Scaredy Dance" is all about the kids' first Halloween dance, a high-school style dance with embarrassing secrets and all.
* ''Series/NightCourt'' had several Halloween episodes, including one where resident JerkAss Dan cheerfully "sells his soul" to a man in a devil costume, who then reveals a worrying amount of detailed knowledge about Dan's life and crimes. It turns out [[spoiler: it's an elaborate practical joke.]]
** There's also one where Harry has a defendant locked up for contempt after he claims to be Death... and people mysteriously [[DeathTakesAHoliday stop dying]].
* ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' (NBC series) has had three episodes set on Halloween. The first episode had Michael having to fire an employee (he had waited until Halloween because firing employee is a scary thought for him). The second had Dwight, Kevin and Creed [[ItsBeenDone all dressed as Heath Ledger's version of The Joker]]. The third had everybody competing in a costume contest to win a coupon book.
* ''Series/OneHundredThingsToDoBeforeHighSchool'': The episode "Have the Best Halloween Ever Thing!" was more about a Halloween episode of ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''.
* ''Series/ThePretender'' had an episode where Jarod discovered Halloween. At the end of the episode, he goes trick-or-treating dressed as the scariest thing he knows: [[spoiler: Mr. Raines]].
* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': It's almost a ritual.
* ''Series/PunkyBrewster'' had a Halloween episode in season two. She was dressed as a 50s girl in a poodle skirt.
** The cartoon had the episode "Halloween Howlers." Glomer was turning everyone who didn't give him a treat into a jack o'lantern.
* ''Series/PushingDaisies'' did a Halloween episode in their first season. The plot centered around the cast trying to track down a "ghost", and actually aired on October 31st. The second season episode didn't fall on the same date and wasn't about Halloween, but the show still managed to put its cast in costumes that week.
* ''Series/{{QI}}'' has had three: the series D episode "Death", the series G episode "Gothic" and the series H episode "Horrible".
* ''Series/QuantumLeap'' had a surprisingly spooky MindScrew of a Halloween Episode. Sam jumps into a horror novelist living in Maine (who is totally not Creator/StephenKing) to whom really strange and creepy things are happening. Sam is seeing things nobody else does, people are dropping like flies, Al is behaving weirdly and Ziggy can't tell anyone anything. Then things get downright scary and Al goes from just acting strange to flat out evil. [[spoiler: After he finally jumps again, Al appears and tells Sam that Ziggy hasn't been able to find or reach Sam since before his last jump and Al hasn't seen him since then either.]] [[note]]The episode has another layer of infamy add to it. From the very first time it aired back in 1990, weird events have been associated with this episode. This episode has the highest incidence of VCR / cable / local station failure than any other episode aired. There have been numerous reports of VCR?s cutting out during the taping of this episode, local station and cable companies dropping their signal. [[TheScottishTrope Even mentioning it by name is hazardous]], as one net. Leaper can attest. He lost his job AND his net - hence ''QL'' fans usually refer to it as "The Halloween Episode" or "The B**giem*n".[[/note]]
* On ''Series/{{Reaper}}'', the office that takes back captured souls is closed for the holiday. Also, the Devil ''hates'' Halloween because it's too commercialized and has become the one day when people ''don't'' believe in him.
* ''Series/{{Reba}}'' has one, in which Reba attempted to pull pranks on her family and to get her youngest child to get into the spirit of scaring people on the holiday.
* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' did one of these every year the show was on the air.
** one even had Roseanne [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol being visited by the ghosts of Halloween past, present, and future to teach her the true meaning of Halloween.]]
* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Each season except the seventh has one.
** Season 1: Sabrina's cousin Amanda is introduced as she has to attend a family gathering and sends a double to Harvey's Halloween party.
** Season 2: Sabrina throws a Halloween party of her own with Other Realm termites in the house and talking furniture.
** Season 3: Sabrina's Great Aunt gives her a doll for a present that locks down the house and summons monsters to scare Sabrina and her friends
** Season 4: Sabrina gets attacked by zombies. Or so it seems. When they finally get to her, all they do is dance to the tune of ''Larger Than Life'' (in what is obviously a parody/reference to Music/MichaelJackson's ''Thriller'' music video).
** Season 5: She throws another party only this time without her aunts' permission and it involves Roxie falling for Frankenstein
** Season 6: Sabrina and her friends end up living a who dunnit murder game
* ''Series/SamAndCat'' has the episode "#DollSitting", where Sam & Cat are placed in charge of babysitting a mysterious doll which seems to change location every time they see it. Also, Cat is having fun with a spell book and believing she has turned Dice into a monkey.
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' had a minor one in Season Two. The main plot was about J.D.'s brother, but the B-story was that some of the staff were in costume, and Cox and Kelso's annoyance at "this, the mother of all non-holidays".
* ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'' first-season episode "Knight of Shadows" (aired 31 Oct 93) has the crew of the eponymous submarine exploring a hundred-year-old sunken liner; a ''haunted'' sunken liner...
* In the ''Series/SmallWonder'' episode "Haunted House" (1987), the Lawsons think a ghost has invaded their house after the electricity goes out, so they call a pair of bungling ghost hunters named Dickens and Fenster. No one seems to be aware that an electrified Vicki is responsible.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Catspaw". When Kirk, Spock and [=McCoy=] beam down to a planet they encounter witches, a wizard with a black cat familiar and a dungeon with HollywoodTorches and skeletons. Kirk says that it looks like someone is playing an elaborate trick or treat on them. The episode was first broadcast October 27, 1967.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester." A man dies from eating [[RazorApples candy filled with razor blades]], a girl drowns in boiling water while bobbing for apples, and the brothers attempt to stop two witches from raising the demon Samhain before [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Castiel and Uriel]] destroy the town.
* ''Series/TalesFromTheDarkside'' of course had a few usually involving some miser trying to ruin the Holiday for everyone. One ep focused on a debt collector who made a tradition of running a spooky house (basically just things rigged to scare people) and having those that owe him money have their kids go inside and search for the receipts. If they found it, the debts would be cleared. Course the collecter would do his best to scare the kids away before they could. However one particular Halloween, real monsters come to pay a visit and well..you can imagine what happens.
* ''Series/That70sShow'''s Halloween episode was an Creator/AlfredHitchcock homage.
** They had another where the gang visits their old and run-down elementary school, with Fez dressed as none other then 1960's Batman.
* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' features a Halloween episode where Raven and Chelsea use a wishing spell to get invited to a Halloween party, but backfires and turns them into cows.
* ''Series/TheThundermans'' has the episode "Happy Heroween". When a thunderstrom trap the family inside on Halloween night, Collaso entertains the family by telling scary stories.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' being an anthology series, didn't have a particular traditional Halloween Episode, instead it delivers ''The Grave'', a western GhostStory about a gun-for-hire who takes on a seemingly easy bet to visit the grave of his recently-deceased rival. Of course, being ''The Twilight Zone'', he gets more than what he bargained for.
* ''Series/TwoGuysAGirlAndAPizzaPlace'' had three that really ran with the concept:
** "Two Guys, a Girl and a Psycho Halloween": A psycho killer that looks like Berg is killing off the main characters one-by-one. [[spoiler:Turns out to be [[Series/TheDrewCareyShow Mimi]] in disguise, trying to get her own show... and all the pizza she can eat.]]
** "Halloween 2: Mind Over Body": A mad scientist switches Pete and Ashley's brains and then Berg and Sharon's. HilarityEnsues.
** "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.
* ''Series/UglyBetty'' had one in its first season, where Betty's idea of celebrating is to dress up as a butterfly for what is supposed to be a costume party at work. Betty shows up in her outfit... only to find out that there is no costume party (it appears Marc [[ItsACostumePartyISwear made a series of prank e-mails]]).
* ''Series/UltramanTiga'' episode 8, "Halloween Night". This is a typical Halloween episode, with cast in costumes, kids trick-or-treating, and a Halloween-themed enemy, except that the series is from Japan, where Halloween was rarely celebrated. The episode specifically mentions that the town in question celebrates it and that it may someday be celebrated all over Japan. They turned out to be correct; the popularity of Halloween in Japan has drastically increased since the time period.
* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' episode "Haunted".
* In a season three episode of ''Series/VeronicaMars'', Logan and Veronica go to a Halloween party dressed as Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes. Their costumes, however, are pretty lame.
* ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'' did two, one in each of its third and fourth seasons. Interestingly, in the third season, only Holly's circle dressed up, while in the fourth, only Val's circle did.
* ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' includes Halloween week as one of their recurring themes. The episodes on Halloween week often have fog, thunder and lightning effects, animatronics, and spooky sound effects as part of the usual SceneryPorn.
* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' had one involving vampire-like Bacchae.
* ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'' had one in the second season.
----
* Halloween episodes tend to be rare in British series as the occasion is less of a big deal in the United Kingdom, but ''Series/MyFamily'' (often cited as an "American-''style''" sitcom) did have one - which, for no apparent reason, was released in March.
** BritishBrevity? Just a guess, but it probably finished it's season in April and didn't return again until January, therefore there wouldn't have been much choice.
* ''Series/SeventhHeaven'': The first season had a Halloween episode where 6 of the 7 family members actually go out to celebrate Halloween but Mary (a young Creator/JessicaBiel) makes a point to stay home alone to eat ice cream, have a bath, and dance around the house ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyLw-jt2qrA the scene]] is rather well-known still), stating that "This is the ''only'' evening of the year I can have the house for myself!" (given that they are a family of 7 (later even 9) that also constantly have visitors, that's probably fair). The rest of the episode figured AnAesop where younger sister Lucy initially was scared of a disfigured old man but learned that she shouldn't judge people on their appearance, and he actually had a Heart Of Gold. Catherine Hicks, who played the mother in the series, later said that out of all the 11 years of episodes, this was her favorite one.
* ''Series/SixHundredSixtySixParkAvenue'' has Episode 5, "A Crowd of Demons": The Dorans throw a costume party, which is crashed by both a ghost who tries to kill Jane, and someone with a grudge against Gavin.
* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'' had a Halloween episode called "Halloween with the Addams Family", later remade as an episode of ''The New Addams Family'', that had the family unintentionally scare off a pair of crooks who unsuccessfully tried to rob them on Halloween night.
* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryMurderHouse'' had a two-part Halloween story, which is the only time the ghosts are allowed to walk outside the house.
** The second episode of ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum'' is called "Tricks and Treats" , originally aired close to Halloween, and takes place on the night before Halloween, but whether Halloween is relevant to the episode is unclear; it might be the reason the kid who is brought into the asylum is possessed, but nothing confirms that.
* ''Series/{{Angel}}'' had a company Halloween party for the evil supernatural law firm, analogous to a company Christmas party.
* ''Series/AreYouAfraidOfTheDark'' has "The Tale of the Twisted Claw" which featured two boys trick-or-treating at the house of a witch who gives them a magical claw that grants wishes.
* In the ''[[Series/BabylonFive Babylon 5]]'' episode "Day of the Dead", several of the main characters are visited by deceased associates on the Brakiri holiday of that name. It's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane left ambiguous]] whether or not this is a genuine supernatural phenomenon, an issue blurred further by the existence in this universe of telepathy (including [[LivingMemory residual mental "echoes"]]) and [[SoulJar techniques of storing and capturing people's essences]].
* ''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.
* ''Series/{{Beauty and the Beast|1987}}'' has an episode which showed Vincent able to walk among normal humans on Halloween, since in Greenwich Village, they think he is only another reveller in the annual Halloween parade.
* The ''Series/{{Benson}}'' episode "The Stranger" has the governor's mansion visited by a "Mr. G. Reaper" on a stormy Halloween night.
* ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'', unsurprisingly, had several of these.
* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' had a couple of Halloween episodes. The first one had Penny hosting a Halloween party at her apartment and the four guys all dressed up as Franchise/TheFlash and had to change their costumes. The second involved a Halloween party at the Comic Book Store that Raj helped Stuart, the owner, set up.
* ''Series/TheBill'' had a Halloween episode with the cops on stake-out swapping ghost stories from their past careers, each of which [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane could have had a rational explanation]], until [[AgentScully DS Stanton]] [[SkepticismFailure encountered a definite ghost]].
* In the ''Series/{{Bones}}'' episode "Mummy in the Maze," Brennan, Booth, and [[TheLabRat "Squints"]] work to solve the murder of a girl left in a Halloween maze while getting ready for a Halloween party. Costumes include the captain of the Titanic, a cow (well, the back end of one), Comicbook/{{Catwoman}}, and Cher. Brennan and Booth end up catching the bad guy while dressed as WonderWoman and a Squint, respectively.
* ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' had one in season two where Cory thinks he's been bitten by a werewolf and one in season five where Jack dates a girl who claims to be a witch. Another episode, "Boys II Mensa" from season one, had a Halloween-themed B plot.
* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'': "Fright Night," from Season 4, is all about ghosts and ghouls and the kids scaring each other. Originally aired in late October 1972, this episode is often rerun on Halloween.
* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' has two:
** "Halloween" in the first season centers on a bet between Holt and Peralta.
** "Halloween II" in the second season is a sequel episode and establishes that bet will be an annual thing.
* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', Halloween is a holiday for the supernatural, and there's an unspoken rule about vampires and other supernatural terrors keeping to themselves and staying out of trouble for that day, but that doesn't make it any easier for the Scoobies.
** Season 2 had "Halloween", where the trick-or-treaters in Sunnydale are subjected to a literal case of BecomingTheCostume thanks to Giles's former friend, Ethan Rayne. This unfortunately includes Buffy, who chose to dress up as an 18th century lady in an effort to impress Angel, and becomes a DistressedDamsel for the duration of the spell. And just when you think things couldn't get any worse, Spike finds out about Ethan's antics through Drusilla, and comes pretty close to offing Buffy.
** Season 4 had "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E4FearItself Fear, Itself]]", where someone getting blood on a supposedly fake mystical symbol makes the college HauntedHouse significantly more lethal, subjecting Xander, Willow, Oz, and Buffy to their current fears. Xander gets rendered invisible to the others (being left behind while the others are at college), a simple tracking spell of Willow's gets ''way'' out of hand (getting too far out of her league with the magicks), Oz transforms and accidentally hurts Willow (losing control and hurting those he loves), and Buffy gets stuck fighting a bunch of zombies by herself (being abandoned by those she loves and being alone because she is the Slayer). Also memorable for introducing Anya's fear of bunnies, [[Awesome/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Giles making a door with a chainsaw]], and [[spoiler:the five inches tall Gachnar]].
** Season 6 had "All the Way", where Dawn sneaks out to raise hell with her friend Janice and a couple boys, only to discover they're part of a group of vampires trying to rebel against the "Halloween holiday" spirit. Also provides setup for some of the events in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E7OnceMoreWithFeeling Once More, With Feeling]]". (Willow using a spell on Tara, Xander and Anya's engagement, Giles's fear that Buffy isn't taking responsibility because of him)
* On ''Series/{{Castle}}'', Rick Castle dresses up as [[{{Series/Firefly}} Mal Reynolds]] during his Halloween episode. 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.
* There are two Halloween episodes in ''Series/{{Charmed}}'', the first being "All Halliwell's Eve" in season 3 where the sisters get sent back in time to colonial Virginia. Contains three {{Shout Out}}s as Phoebe dresses up as Elvira and Piper dresses up as Glinda. Phoebe also cackles while riding a broomstick. Another episode in season 8, "Kill Billie Vol. 1", is set on Halloween but has a separate plot entirely.
* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' did a Halloween episode ("Chuck vs. The Sandworm") that among other things featured Halloween decorations, a Halloween party (with Chuck & Morgan going as a sandworm from Dune), and Morgan's new clothes style being mistaken for a Gordon Gekko outfit.
* ''Series/{{Community}}'' had one in each of its first four seasons.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS1E07IntroductionToStatistics Introduction to Statistics]]" has Annie hosting a Dia Del Muertos party. Notable for Abed's Franchise/{{Batman}} costume/voice.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS2E06Epidemiology Epidemiology]]" (screencapped above) has the dean [[TooDumbToLive getting biohazardous material from an army surplus store and thinking it's taco meat]], which starts a {{zombie apocalypse}}. Strangely for a show with no fantasy elements, they manage to handle the resolution in a way that leaves the episode entirely in continuity.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS3E05HorrorFictionInSevenSpookySteps Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps]]" has Britta discovering that one of the group displays homicidal tendencies, and pressuring the group into telling scary stories in an attempt to weed out the killer.
** "[[Recap/CommunityS4E02ParanormalParentage Paranormal Parentage]]" has the group visiting Pierce's mansion, which he claims to be haunted.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'':
** The episode "About Face" is set around Halloween, and featured a villain who killed his victims by cutting their faces off, after terrorizing them a bit with missing persons flyers with their image on them that he'd cover the inside and outside of their houses with.
** "Devil's Night" has [[PyroManiac a serial arsonist]] who always strikes during Halloween festivities.
* ''Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhqTNzpmYo Halloween 2016's]] episode is a variation that focused more on AdultFear focusing on a [[BadFuture dystopian future]] comprised of all the worst case scenarios if Donald Trump won the election [[spoiler: ...he did weeks later]]. While it has tons of NightmareFuel there are moments of BlackComedy here and there to be consistent with the tone of the rest of the show.
* The last episode of ''Series/DeadLikeMe'' which featured a SerialKiller.
* ''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/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger'' had the episode "The Prince of Halloween," notable for being the first Halloween episode in ''Franchise/SuperSentai'''s 40 year history.
* ''Series/TheDukesOfHazzard'': "The Ghost of the General Lee" and "The Hazzardgate Horror" are two supernatural-themed episodes that were originally aired around Halloween, and are often shown in reruns at that same time of the year.
* ''Series/EvenStevens'' had an episode where everyone starts acting weird after getting eye exams. Turns out Ren was brainwashing everyone and turning them into "Renplicates" (The plot is a little reminiscent of Invasion of the Body snatchers.) In the end Ren is unable to fully make Louis, the only one that she hasn't turned yet, into a Renplicate. This then cuts to Louis telling the story to Beans. Louis tries to convince him that this is not a story and actually happened despite things appearing as if none of the events ever happened.
* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond'' has the episode "Halloween Candy" where Ray buys a pack of condoms on Halloween so that he and Debra can have sex after they take the kids Trick or Treating. But when they come back, they discover that Frank accidentally gave them all out to the Trick or Treaters, thinking that they were chocolate coins. Frank is dressed as Frankenstein's Monster, [[ActorAllusion referring to Peter Boyle's role in]] ''Film/YoungFrankenstein''.
* ''Series/FamilyMatters'' did this once every year. In one of the more famous episodes, we meet an evil ventriloqist doll come to life named Steevil. In the final Halloween episode, he returns with a partner named Carlsbad.
* ''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.
* There are a number of episodes of ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' set at Halloween, usually focusing on the show's traditional madcap antics wrung though a themed costume party of some kind. A notable party at Niles' apartment where the guests all dress as classic literary characters centers around Roz being pregnant and many overheard conversations that lead to hilarious confusions about the situation.\\
\\
The episode "A Room Full of Heroes" sees Frasier holding a Halloween party where each partygoer comes as their personal "hero" (for instance, Martin comes as Joe [=DiMaggio=], Daphne as EltonJohn, Roz as WonderWoman and Niles as his father); Frasier himself dresses as UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud, and one of the main jokes revolves around all the children thinking he eats brains.
* ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' managed to squeeze one of these into its short run. In fact, "Tricks and Treats" was actually the second episode of the series.
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'' had a Halloween party featuring Chandler & Ross in the lamest arm wrestling match ever.
* ''Series/GameShakers'': the episode "Scared Tripless" about Double G pranking his son, and the other kids mercilessly.
* ''Series/GhostWhisperer'''s Halloween episode has Melinda investigating a headless horseman.
* The second season of ''Series/{{Glee}}'' had one of these, with a ''[[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow Rocky Horror Picture Show]]'' theme.
* ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'': The afromentioned original series books were adapted into TV episodes.
* ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' had the second season episode La Llorona, featuring the titular spirit abducting children and drowning them, and Monroe borrowing a morningstar from the trailer to use in his decorations.
* ''Series/HappyEndings'' had one entitled "Spooky Endings" where most of the cast went to a huge Halloween bash and the married couple handed out candy to trick-or-treaters in the suburbs... and wind up getting their door stolen.
* In the ''Series/{{Haven}}'' episode "Real Estate", there is a Halloween party and then the heroes and some teens all end up trapped in a supposedly haunted house, which turns out to be a man who was [[GeniusLoci turned into a house]].
* ''Series/HawaiiFiveO'' had one in the second season, "Ka Iwi Kapu." Five-0 investigates the murders of two college kids out [[FirstPersonCamera shooting video]] for a [[Film/TheBlairWitchProject documentary]] on legendary [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Hawaiian ghost warriors]] in an [[AncientTomb ancient Hawaiian graveyard]] at [[TemptingFate midnight]] on [[AllHallowsEve Halloween]].
* ''Series/HomeImprovement'' did tons, maybe one every single year, often involving the Taylors throwing a Halloween party, Tim inventing new extra-spooky Halloween decorations, impromptu scary prank competions, etc. Highlights of the series.
* ''Series/{{iCarly}}'' has the episode "iScream on Halloween", which deals with Carly, Sam & Freddie hosting an episode of the eponymous web show from an apartment they believe is haunted. Meanwhile Spencer has to carve the world's biggest pumpkin, but has lost the time to buy candy and has to deal with trick-or-treating kids he is giving random objects to.
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' had two: the RashomonStyle "Who Got Dee Pregnant?" in season 6, and season 8's "Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre", which is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin about a wedding gone horribly wrong]] (the action doesn't actually happen on Halloween but involves a lot of the tropes present in such episodes).
* ''Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert'' went all-out on its [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8yakskAfIzs6WwsGsRVDVI October 30, 2015]] episode; completely redecorating the Ed Sullivan Theater in Halloween fare, Colbert dressing as a vampire for the whole show, and dedicating the whole episode to Halloween-based subjects, including a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTXW-tO-fOs performance]] from the satanic metal band Music/{{Ghost}}.
** The October 31, 2016 episode sadly did not go to the same level and was not a full Halloween episode, though it did have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXXBOpNEOrw&index=1&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs Halloween-themed opening sketch]] and a special interview with ghost hunters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg0Hwjb5YtI&index=6&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs The Ghost Brothers]], as well as an acknowledgement and a few Halloween-based jokes in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLH36Tr-8pE&list=PLiZxWe0ejyv8bXivokxPYQ1ssABO2evHs&index=2 monologue]], which house band Jon Batiste and Stay Human played out with [[Music/MichaelJackson Thriller]].
* ''Series/LizzieMcGuire'' had one where [[AlphaBitch Kate]] took control of organising a Halloween dance and insulted Miranda's Day of the Dead traditions, kicking off a plot where evil spirits decided to punish them for it [[spoiler: but of course it turns out to be a prank to get back at Kate with Miranda's parents in costume]].
* Even ''Series/{{MASH}}'' was able to take time out from the horrors of war to indulge in some Halloween tomfoolery. In the episode "Trick or Treatment", the staff don costumes and share ghost stories, unaware that an apparently dead soldier outside is actually clinging to life. Fortunately, Father Mulcahy realizes the mistake just in time and the soldier is rushed into surgery to save him.
* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' had two: the first sees the boys attempted to keep the classic spirit of Halloween alive after the actual holiday winds up disappointing them by engaging in an elaborate prank, while the other sees Hal becoming paranoid after learning that their house was previously home to a grisly murder while Reese and Dewey face the wrath of an old man they egg while trick-or-treating, leading him to chase them through the entire episode.
* The third-ever episode of ''Series/MarryMe'': Annie and Jake hold a haunted house in defiance of their building's take charge helicopter parent and get in trouble when a boy refuses to leave; Dennah "eliminates the middleman" in her {{sexy whatever outfit}}s and opts to "just go as a slut"; Gil and Kay go on an adult trick-or-treat that allows Gil to stalk his ex-wife.
* Just like ''Home Improvement'', ''Roseanne'', and the ''Simpsons'', ''Series/TheMiddle'' has annual Halloween episodes every year starting in its second season with plots such as Axl and his friends getting stuck offroad when they try to attend a Halloween party, Axl having to recover some kids' stolen candy, and Sue holding a seance.
* The ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' fought the [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Frankenstein_monster Frankenstein monster]] in "Life's A Masquerade" and the [[http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Mighty_Morphin_1_Monsters#Pumpkin_Rapper Pumpkin Rapper]] in "Trick or Treat" in season one. In the next season, [[BigBad Lord Zedd]] traps Tommy in a dimension with several monsters in ''Zedd's Monster Mash''.
** In ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', the episode "It Came From Angel Grove" featured the surprise return of Lord Zedd and Rita, as Adam awoke on Halloween to find his friends and the rest of the town (including Zordon) transformed into a Universal Horror parody of itself - [[spoiler:which in the end turns out to be AllJustADream.]]
** The ''Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive'' two-parter "Ronny on Empty" was set around Halloween, concluding with a costume party held at the mansion.
** ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'' has "Party Monsters", an episode where all the previously slain monsters have a Halloween party in the afterlife, discussing their encounters with the Samurai Rangers and how they almost beat them. In short, it was just a ClipShow.
*** ''Samurai'' has now had a second: "Trickster Treat", which is not a clip show though it uses less original footage than "Party Monsters" did and that's not counting Sentai footage.
** ''Series/PowerRangersMegaforce'' has ''Raising Spirits'', another clip show where the group goes to a Halloween party. The monster of the week looks in his crystal ball to see the past of the five teenagers with attitude, but keeps seeing the Power Rangers defeating monsters, not realizing that they are one in the same. Also there was a Megaforce [[http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/power-rangers-megaforce-halloween-promo.html Halloween safety PSA]].
** ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' also has a Halloween clip show, "The Ghostest with the Mostest"; one of the Rangers is kidnapped and replaced, but because they were in identical costumes, no one (including the audience) knows who was taken. The clips are used as the Rangers answer questions about their past to prove their identities.
* The ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk Goes Home Again" has Adrian Monk trying to recover several candy bars that were contaminated with poison ([[AdultFear some of which were distributed to trick-or-treaters]]), which turns out be the work of some man who poisoned his wife and is trying to make her look like the random victim of a serial killer.
* While it did air 1 day before Halloween ''Series/MostExtremeEliminationChallenge'' pitted Real Monsters and Advertising Mascots against each other (At least on the Broadcast version).
* ''Series/{{Mulaney}}'': "Halloween." Featuring a dead man's apartment, plenty of costumes, and a mean boss who likes firing people on Halloween.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' did two Halloween-themed episodes: with Creator/VincentPrice in season one, and Music/AliceCooper in season three.
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' had three: "Witch Hunt", "Murder 2.0", and "Code of Conduct" in that order.
* ''Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide'' had a two part Halloween episode, the first part dealt with the annual party at a jock's house. The second was a dream induced by a sugar crash in which Ned was a vampire who was having trouble passing his "turning into a bat" exam, Cookie was a werewolf looking for a transformation trigger to chase off Franken-Loomer, and Moze was a ghost looking to kill someone because she was the only ghost at school.
* ''Series/NewGirl'' has the second season episode "Halloween." Jess is working as a zombie in a haunted house [[SexyWhateverOutfit and Schmidt is dressed as young Abraham Lincoln]] to get into Cece's pants.
* ''Series/{{Newhart}}'' had a Halloween episode in which all the residents of Stratford (except Dick Loudon, [[OnlySaneMan natch]]) become convinced that an [[Literature/TheWarOfTheWorlds alien invasion]] is imminent.
%%* ''Series/NewsRadio'' had one Halloween episode.
* ''Series/NickyRickyDickyAndDawn'': The episode "Scaredy Dance" is all about the kids' first Halloween dance, a high-school style dance with embarrassing secrets and all.
* ''Series/NightCourt'' had several Halloween episodes, including one where resident JerkAss Dan cheerfully "sells his soul" to a man in a devil costume, who then reveals a worrying amount of detailed knowledge about Dan's life and crimes. It turns out [[spoiler: it's an elaborate practical joke.]]
** There's also one where Harry has a defendant locked up for contempt after he claims to be Death... and people mysteriously [[DeathTakesAHoliday stop dying]].
* ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' (NBC series) has had three episodes set on Halloween. The first episode had Michael having to fire an employee (he had waited until Halloween because firing employee is a scary thought for him). The second had Dwight, Kevin and Creed [[ItsBeenDone all dressed as Heath Ledger's version of The Joker]]. The third had everybody competing in a costume contest to win a coupon book.
* ''Series/OneHundredThingsToDoBeforeHighSchool'': The episode "Have the Best Halloween Ever Thing!" was more about a Halloween episode of ''Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas''.
* ''Series/ThePretender'' had an episode where Jarod discovered Halloween. At the end of the episode, he goes trick-or-treating dressed as the scariest thing he knows: [[spoiler: Mr. Raines]].
* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'': It's almost a ritual.
* ''Series/PunkyBrewster'' had a Halloween episode in season two. She was dressed as a 50s girl in a poodle skirt.
** The cartoon had the episode "Halloween Howlers." Glomer was turning everyone who didn't give him a treat into a jack o'lantern.
* ''Series/PushingDaisies'' did a Halloween episode in their first season. The plot centered around the cast trying to track down a "ghost", and actually aired on October 31st. The second season episode didn't fall on the same date and wasn't about Halloween, but the show still managed to put its cast in costumes that week.
* ''Series/{{QI}}'' has had three: the series D episode "Death", the series G episode "Gothic" and the series H episode "Horrible".
* ''Series/QuantumLeap'' had a surprisingly spooky MindScrew of a Halloween Episode. Sam jumps into a horror novelist living in Maine (who is totally not Creator/StephenKing) to whom really strange and creepy things are happening. Sam is seeing things nobody else does, people are dropping like flies, Al is behaving weirdly and Ziggy can't tell anyone anything. Then things get downright scary and Al goes from just acting strange to flat out evil. [[spoiler: After he finally jumps again, Al appears and tells Sam that Ziggy hasn't been able to find or reach Sam since before his last jump and Al hasn't seen him since then either.]] [[note]]The episode has another layer of infamy add to it. From the very first time it aired back in 1990, weird events have been associated with this episode. This episode has the highest incidence of VCR / cable / local station failure than any other episode aired. There have been numerous reports of VCR?s cutting out during the taping of this episode, local station and cable companies dropping their signal. [[TheScottishTrope Even mentioning it by name is hazardous]], as one net. Leaper can attest. He lost his job AND his net - hence ''QL'' fans usually refer to it as "The Halloween Episode" or "The B**giem*n".[[/note]]
* On ''Series/{{Reaper}}'', the office that takes back captured souls is closed for the holiday. Also, the Devil ''hates'' Halloween because it's too commercialized and has become the one day when people ''don't'' believe in him.
* ''Series/{{Reba}}'' has one, in which Reba attempted to pull pranks on her family and to get her youngest child to get into the spirit of scaring people on the holiday.
* ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'' did one of these every year the show was on the air.
** one even had Roseanne [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol being visited by the ghosts of Halloween past, present, and future to teach her the true meaning of Halloween.]]
* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Each season except the seventh has one.
** Season 1: Sabrina's cousin Amanda is introduced as she has to attend a family gathering and sends a double to Harvey's Halloween party.
** Season 2: Sabrina throws a Halloween party of her own with Other Realm termites in the house and talking furniture.
** Season 3: Sabrina's Great Aunt gives her a doll for a present that locks down the house and summons monsters to scare Sabrina and her friends
** Season 4: Sabrina gets attacked by zombies. Or so it seems. When they finally get to her, all they do is dance to the tune of ''Larger Than Life'' (in what is obviously a parody/reference to Music/MichaelJackson's ''Thriller'' music video).
** Season 5: She throws another party only this time without her aunts' permission and it involves Roxie falling for Frankenstein
** Season 6: Sabrina and her friends end up living a who dunnit murder game
* ''Series/SamAndCat'' has the episode "#DollSitting", where Sam & Cat are placed in charge of babysitting a mysterious doll which seems to change location every time they see it. Also, Cat is having fun with a spell book and believing she has turned Dice into a monkey.
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' had a minor one in Season Two. The main plot was about J.D.'s brother, but the B-story was that some of the staff were in costume, and Cox and Kelso's annoyance at "this, the mother of all non-holidays".
* ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'' first-season episode "Knight of Shadows" (aired 31 Oct 93) has the crew of the eponymous submarine exploring a hundred-year-old sunken liner; a ''haunted'' sunken liner...
* In the ''Series/SmallWonder'' episode "Haunted House" (1987), the Lawsons think a ghost has invaded their house after the electricity goes out, so they call a pair of bungling ghost hunters named Dickens and Fenster. No one seems to be aware that an electrified Vicki is responsible.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Catspaw". When Kirk, Spock and [=McCoy=] beam down to a planet they encounter witches, a wizard with a black cat familiar and a dungeon with HollywoodTorches and skeletons. Kirk says that it looks like someone is playing an elaborate trick or treat on them. The episode was first broadcast October 27, 1967.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has "It's the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester." A man dies from eating [[RazorApples candy filled with razor blades]], a girl drowns in boiling water while bobbing for apples, and the brothers attempt to stop two witches from raising the demon Samhain before [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Castiel and Uriel]] destroy the town.
* ''Series/TalesFromTheDarkside'' of course had a few usually involving some miser trying to ruin the Holiday for everyone. One ep focused on a debt collector who made a tradition of running a spooky house (basically just things rigged to scare people) and having those that owe him money have their kids go inside and search for the receipts. If they found it, the debts would be cleared. Course the collecter would do his best to scare the kids away before they could. However one particular Halloween, real monsters come to pay a visit and well..you can imagine what happens.
* ''Series/That70sShow'''s Halloween episode was an Creator/AlfredHitchcock homage.
** They had another where the gang visits their old and run-down elementary school, with Fez dressed as none other then 1960's Batman.
* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' features a Halloween episode where Raven and Chelsea use a wishing spell to get invited to a Halloween party, but backfires and turns them into cows.
* ''Series/TheThundermans'' has the episode "Happy Heroween". When a thunderstrom trap the family inside on Halloween night, Collaso entertains the family by telling scary stories.
* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' being an anthology series, didn't have a particular traditional Halloween Episode, instead it delivers ''The Grave'', a western GhostStory about a gun-for-hire who takes on a seemingly easy bet to visit the grave of his recently-deceased rival. Of course, being ''The Twilight Zone'', he gets more than what he bargained for.
* ''Series/TwoGuysAGirlAndAPizzaPlace'' had three that really ran with the concept:
** "Two Guys, a Girl and a Psycho Halloween": A psycho killer that looks like Berg is killing off the main characters one-by-one. [[spoiler:Turns out to be [[Series/TheDrewCareyShow Mimi]] in disguise, trying to get her own show... and all the pizza she can eat.]]
** "Halloween 2: Mind Over Body": A mad scientist switches Pete and Ashley's brains and then Berg and Sharon's. HilarityEnsues.
** "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.
* ''Series/UglyBetty'' had one in its first season, where Betty's idea of celebrating is to dress up as a butterfly for what is supposed to be a costume party at work. Betty shows up in her outfit... only to find out that there is no costume party (it appears Marc [[ItsACostumePartyISwear made a series of prank e-mails]]).
* ''Series/UltramanTiga'' episode 8, "Halloween Night". This is a typical Halloween episode, with cast in costumes, kids trick-or-treating, and a Halloween-themed enemy, except that the series is from Japan, where Halloween was rarely celebrated. The episode specifically mentions that the town in question celebrates it and that it may someday be celebrated all over Japan. They turned out to be correct; the popularity of Halloween in Japan has drastically increased since the time period.
* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' episode "Haunted".
* In a season three episode of ''Series/VeronicaMars'', Logan and Veronica go to a Halloween party dressed as Jack and Meg White of the White Stripes. Their costumes, however, are pretty lame.
* ''Series/WhatILikeAboutYou'' did two, one in each of its third and fourth seasons. Interestingly, in the third season, only Holly's circle dressed up, while in the fourth, only Val's circle did.
* ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' includes Halloween week as one of their recurring themes. The episodes on Halloween week often have fog, thunder and lightning effects, animatronics, and spooky sound effects as part of the usual SceneryPorn.
* ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' had one involving vampire-like Bacchae.
* ''Series/{{Zoey 101}}'' had one in the second season.
