  • The British Railway Stories: Episode 17, "Fowler's Ghost". The plot involved Stephen telling the other engines about a failed engine in the 19th century that, after being bricked up underground, caused a cave-in out of anger that killed it, and has since haunted the railways ever since.
  • Dabchick:
  • Dragon Ball Z Abridged:
    • A Halloween Special premiered in 2008, with the gang dressing up at the Briefs house. Mr. Popo then shows up to the party as the Cloverfield monster.
    • In 2014, "Celloween: A Flight out of Cell", revolves around Krillin rescuing civilians from Cell. Until the whole thing was All Just a Dream Krillin was having.
    • In a DragonShortZ in 2020, the cast goes trick or treating.
  • False Swipe Gaming has done two of these where they analyze the viability of spooky looking Ghost-type Pokémon on the actual date. Specifically, they analyzed Misdreavus and it's evolution Mismagius in 2018 and Haunter in 2020.
  • Fred has had a few.
  • Whenever Halloween comes around, Game Grumps changes their name to "Ghoul Grumps" and post videos of playing horror-themed games with Sdrawkcab Speech in each introduction.
  • The Irate Gamer also has annual Halloween episodes:
    • 2007: After a Cold Opening involving The Devil and the Evil Gamer, the Irate Gamer, dressed as a Ghostbuster, reviews Zombies Ate My Neighbors, while pausing occasionally to talk to a Jewish skeleton after noting that there are no skeleton enemies in the game. At the end, he throws the game into his ghost trap, gets one last call from the skeleton, and leaves. The Evil Gamer then takes over the show, but ends up talking to the skeleton as well.
    • 2008: Another cold opening shows the Evil Gamer plotting another Hostile Show Takeover from within his "Castle of Evil", coming up with a plan to kill the Irate Gamer with Monster Party. The Irate Gamer himself, meanwhile, is not invited to the biggest Halloween party in town, leaving him stuck at home getting unwanted visitors. He decides to vent his frustration by reviewing bad games, and finds that a Monster Party cartridge has mysteriously appeared on his occult shelf. While he reviews the game, characters from previous episodes show up, and the Irate Gamer gets more unwanted visitors. Eventually, the Irate Gamer beats the game, unleashing the devil. The devil wants to take over the world, but gets distracted by a Voltron figure while trying to kill the IG, and both of them go to drink apple juice at a bar, despite protests from the Evil Gamer.
  • JonTron has done various Halloween episodes, reviewing Clock Tower, Monster Party, and Howling II: Your Sister is a Werewolf.
  • The Nostalgia Critic has an annual Halloween related video/review:
  • From Boots to Reboots:
    • His two-part review of Rob Zombie's remakes of John Carpenter's films. He also tries to escape Michael Myers himself when Myers forces him to review the sequel.
    • His review of Trick r Treat even includes Sam himself almost killing Andy when Evil!Andy used the money to buy booze.
  • Todd in the Shadows had a yearly tradition of doing a special Halloween episode of his series One Hit Wonderland on a song tangentially related to spooky themes, in episodes entitled "One Hit Wonderland Spook-tacular"s. He broke the tradition once in 2015, simply not being able to come up with a song and instead doing one of his standard Pop Song Reviews for Halloween that year. He announced in his 2017 episode that it would be his last Spook-tacular, as he was pretty much all out of ideas and had already been scraping the barrel in previous years. His Halloween episodes are as follows:
    • "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett, 2012
    • "Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell, 2013
    • "Maniac" by Michael Sembello, 2014
    • "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy (pop song review as opposed to One Hit Wonderland), 2015
    • "One Tin Soldier" by Coven, 2016
    • "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, 2017
      • His Trainwreckords episode on Billy Idol's "Cyberpunk" was released on Halloween 2018, and while the episode is very light on Halloween themes and thus does not count as a proper Halloween Episode, he does wear a Billy Idol Halloween costume. It can be inferred this is how he will celebrate Halloween in his videos from now on.
  • Atop the Fourth Wall also has Halloween-themed reviews. For the first few years, Linkara reviewed bad Silent Hill comics. He's also looked at comics inspired by John Carpenter's The Thing, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Hellraiser, and The Ring. He also does quickie reviews of horror comics as Moarte for an annual series called "Longbox of the Damned". Each year also features a special Halloween story, usually involving Linkara dealing with supernatural horrors:
    • 2009: Linkara is brought into Silent Hill, where he has to fight off a duo of Pyramid Heads.

    • 2018: In the 10th year anniversary, a clone of Linkara finds his way into his home and Linkara attempts to find out where he came from. It's eventually revealed that the clone is actually an amnesiac Mechakara turned human and the whole thing was a plot by his Mirror Universe doppelganger.
    • 2019: While paranoid over having to deal with another traumatic Halloween encounter, Linkara and his friends begin shifting into alternate realities.
    • 2020: A mysterious box is teleported into Linkara's new house while the Contest of Champions is put on hiatus. The box transports Linkara to a sub-dimension where he is tortured by a being called the Confession, who seeks to learn all of Linkara's weaknesses.

  • Rhett & Link, who are Christians, have no trouble celebrating Halloween, seeing as most of the demonic observations have faded. They wrote Trick-or-Treat song and even made a podcast that compares Halloween to the "Harvest Season."
  • Philosophy Tube has ‘Witchcraft, Gender, and Marxism’.
  • I Hate Everything has ‘I Hate Halloween’ and ‘The Search for the Worst: Troll 2’

    • The 2023 special, "The Evil Debt", is a parody of The Evil Dead (1981), David's favorite horror movie. This episode is in early development.
  • sillypplproductions2 has one made in 2012; Surge gives everyone masks, and they all go trick-or-treating. Subverted in that it's not actually Halloween; Surge messed up Hero Factory's calendar, somehow.
  • Halloween by Matthew Santoro. It ends with Matthew doing a Screamer Prank to the audience, and then the words "Happy Halloween" show up on the screen. The video then goes to The Stinger. 20 Haunting Halloween Facts, also by Matthew Santoro, has 20 facts about Halloween.
  • Will It Blend? had two episodes, "Skeleton" and "Tom's Hand".
  • Every year since 2010, Stuart Ashen has uploaded a Halloween video that does quick reviews of Halloween-themed merchandise from British retailer Poundland. The first was 2010's "Obligatory Halloween Themed Video". In 2011 he broke tradition by actually doing a video on ghost hunting. 2012 included a showcase of several horror-themed B-movies. In 2014 he did two Halloween videos, one for toys and decorations and then another just for Halloween candy.
  • Is It a Good Idea to Microwave This? has done a few Halloween themed experiments. The first was "Jack O-Lantern with Ping Pong Balls". Then there was "iPals Monster" and "Dry Ice Bomb". After the main series ended there was the special "Eyeballs".
  • ''The Ben Heck Show has annual Halloween episodes, but notably, the 2011 episode served as a thinly-veiled pilot for the America's Most Haunted pinball.
  • The Happy Video Game Nerd: Much like the Angry Nerd, Derek likes to review horror-themed games in late October, as well as in May under the same logic as Christmas in July.
  • The Wonky Angle:
    • His review of Burial's "Untrue" (and also self-titled, kind of), complete with dark then orange-ish lighting and Halloween costume. He also hinted in the video at possibly reviewing Monolake's "Ghosts" for 2017.
    • He did not, instead doing this year's video on Scandroid's "Monochrome", because... it had a cover of Thriller. He also reprised the costume and implied it would be a holiday tradition.
  • The Weather: "Spooky Fog", in addition to being broadcast on Halloween night, involved a lot of Halloween-themed sketches, including ghosts, vampires, and murder.
  • Every season/year of Scott The Woz has a Halloween episode, with most of them covering horror themed video games or urban legends surrounding the medium as a whole. To note:
    • 2017's episode covers the rumors surrounding the fabled Polybius arcade machine.
    • 2018's episode has Scott play Night Trap in a haunted house in an attempt to scare the piss out of himself.
    • 2019's The Great Mysteries of Gaming shows a murder mystery happening in real time while an audio recording of Scott's voice talks about video game rumors and mysteries.
    • In 2020's Memory Cards, Scott invites some of his friends over for a half-pumpkin party, half-Halloween party only for the five of them to have to deal with a haunting.
  • Unwanted Houseguest: In "TRUE Scary Stories" the Houseguest will usually acknowledge the season, and comment on his preparation for Trick or Treaters. In Season 2 he is notably sad about the lack of Trick or Treaters, until Doctor Wolfula points out that he lives in a house full of vengeful spirits, surrounded by a forest full of monsters, and that is probably the reason kids aren't showing up, not some personal animosity towards him.
  • Mason has two SMPLive highlight videos where he decorates Spawn City for Halloween.
  • Kittisaurus put out two in 2020.
    • The Hidden Cruelty of Cats was a parody of horror movie trailers, and features washed out shots of the cats watching as Claire as she made them chicken sausages, and then going crazy over when it was time to eat, all done with scary music in the background, and echoes added to the cats' meows.
    • Cats vs Funny Zombie features Claire dressed as a zombie, shuffling around and trying to do all her normal chores. Oh, and she attaches an extra along chicken sausage to her front to act as an intestine. Naturally, the cats are more interested in the sausage intestine than Claire's zombie make up.
