* HauntedHouse: Carrot and Celery turn the garage into a haunted house, but it isn't scary because they used Valentine's Day decorations. However, the ominous glowing light and behavior of Carrot and Celery freak Mitchell out

* HighPressureEmotion: Jet's ears leak steam - not because he's angry, but because he's so excited to learn about Halloween. This is also the only instance in the show where steam comes out of someone's ears.

* AbsenteeActor: Face 9000 isn't in this episode.
* AgentScully: Mitchell doubts that witches are real, saying that it's all made up.
* AllWitchesHaveCats: To go with Jet's witch costume, Sunspot dresses up as a cat.
* AnimationBump: The animation and colors used during the lunar eclipse scene are breathtaking.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Mitchell doubts that witches are real, yet he ''believes'' Jet when he says (in costume) that he's an alien from outer space.
* BreatherEpisode: At least in terms of the educational content. There's a brief lesson on lunar eclipses and that's it. The rest of the episode is pure entertainment.
* DramaticIrony: Mindy doesn't know that the witch was actually Jet.
* EdibleThemeNaming: Jet at one point calls himself "Cucumber" to keep with the vegetable family naming thing.
* EEqualsMCHammer: Sean's "can't fail scientific method formula" to get candy in the least amount of time goes "T = H + C^2" or in LaymansTerms, houses + great costumes = lots of candy.
* ForHalloweenIAmGoingAsMyself: Jet dresses up as an alien (albeit a stereotypical green one). And gets away with telling people he is from Bortron 7.
* GrowlingGut: Sean's tummy rumbles due to stomach pain when he's in space.
* HalloweenCostumeCharacterization: The kids all wear costumes that reflect their personalities:
** Jet, the local alien, wears an alien costume to conceal his identity even further. He also thought that the costume was a cucumber, showing his eccentricity.
** Sydney wears a Commander Cressida costume, showing her nerdiness and her love of the titular comic book heroine.
** Sean wears a Neil Armstrong costume, showing his love of space and adoration of Neil Armstrong.
** Mindy wears a costume of her teddy bear, Stuffy Bear, showing her innocence and her AnimalMotif that involves bears.
** Mitchell wears a Sherlock Holmes costume, showing his aspiration to be a detective. Sherlock Holmes being a classic literature character also shows Mitchell's love of classic books and desire to be taken seriously.
* HalloweenEpisode: A major holiday episode for the show, and the first episode to take place on Halloween and in autumn.
* HauntedHouse: Carrot and Celery turn the garage into a haunted house, but it isn't scary because they used Valentine's Day decorations. However, the ominous glowing light and behavior of Carrot and Celery freak Mitchell out
* HumansThroughAlienEyes: Carrot and Celery considered it apt to use Valentine's Day decorations for their 'haunted' house. To protect their feelings, Jet and co. pretend to be scared.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Sean is in space:
-->'''Sean''': "Eh, you're right. It is fun! And I'm not even space-sick!"
-->(his tummy gurgles.)
-->'''Sean''': "Ugh, much."
* IrisOut: Used at the end of part one. Sunspot [[BreakingTheFourthWall breaks the fourth wall]] by physically grabbing it, shrieking, and then winking before leaving.
* ItsAlwaysSpring: Averted. It's fall in this episode, unlike the rest of the series.
* ItsTheBestWhateverEver: Towards the end, the gang calls this the best Halloween ever.
* MultiPartEpisode: Divided into two parts.
* ShipperOnDeck: Jet stages a witch sighting and invites specifically Mitchell and Mindy to the treehouse to look at it and the harvest moon.
* ShipperWithAnAgenda: Jet definitely ships Mindy and Mitchell, and in this episode, he gets them to come to the treehouse together so they can look at the red moon together and see Jet (dressed up as a witch) fly across the moon on a broom to fulfill Mindy's wish of wanting to see a witch fly across the moon.
* ShipTease: Mindy and Mitchell behave very much LikeAnOldMarriedCouple. She playfully teases him when she's proven right about the witch.
* ShoutOut:
** Jet says that he's seen an [[Film/TheWizardOfOz earth movie with the phrase "no place like home" and starring a witch with green skin who dresses all in black]].
** Mitchell dresses up as Literature/SherlockHolmes, with Cody as Watson.
* SteamrolledSmartGuy: Sean explains clearly to Jet how lunar eclipses work, but Jet doesn't understand. When Celery provides the same exact explanation, Jet understands (probably because they were in space and got close to the moon).
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The main characters go trick-or-treating. At the same time, Mitchell investigates to solve 3 mysteries involving weird-looking pumpkins, a flying saucer, and a green alien head.
** The weird-looking pumpkins were leftover produce from the supermarket.
** The saucer was a 'cool toy'.
** The green alien head was part of Jet's costume.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Jet dresses up as a witch. Witches are usually portrayed as female, and Mindy uses feminine terms when talking about it.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: It reveals that Mitchell is scared of clowns. He considers dressing up as a clown for Halloween, but says it's "too scary".
* WinkDing: Heard during the IrisOut in Part 1.
* WolvesAlwaysHowlAtTheMoon: At the beginning of part 2, Sunspot howls at the moon like a wolf.
