Go To

1Frasier throws a Halloween party and invites everyone to dress as their favorite hero, and Niles shows up dressed as Martin.
2----
3!!Tropes:
4* BrainFood: It turns out that children are scared of going to Frasier's apartment on Halloween because they think he'll eat their brains.
5* DiggingYourselfDeeper: When Frasier first learns that children thinks he eats BrainFood, he first states that he's never eaten ''human'' brains, though some animal brains are considered haute cuisine. When he realizes that the child he's telling this to is recoiling in fear, he quickly backtracks.
6* IHaveToGoIronMyDog: At least eight of Frasier's invited party guests call to claim they're too sick to attend his party, though Frasier assumes it's flu season rather than a shared excuse.
7* IncrediblyLameFun: Frasier's idea of a fun Halloween night is having everyone discuss the Human Genome Project in-character. Even ''Niles'' isn't interested in this.
8* InVinoVeritas: Niles originally impresses and amuses everyone with his impression, but after trying to emulate his father's drinking habits, he starts talking about how much "Martin" is disappointed that he didn't have "normal" children. The real Martin is outraged at such words being put in his mouth, as he's always been proud of his sons.
9* JerkassBall: Frasier is particularly haughty toward Roz coming dressed as Wonder Woman, so much so she covers up the reason she did so out of embarassment.
10* NotWhatItLooksLike: Halfway through the episode, a petulant Frasier upstaged by his brother leaves his party, and learns from a trick-or-treating kid that the reason they've been avoiding his apartment is because they think he eats BrainFood. At the end of the episode, Niles' wig is stuck to his head, and the kids arrive just as Frasier is violently yanking it off, not helping to quell the rumor.
