A Plot: After attending The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time, Barry is inspired to throw an epic Halloween party on campus, but Erica wants to stop him because she needs to study for a midterm and is determined to focus more on academics during her second attempt at college. This leads to the two arguing about the balance between hard work and letting off some steam while in school.

B Plot: At home, Beverly and Adam become convinced that there is a ghost in the house when Bev's newly acquired classical nude paintings keep falling off the wall. Thinking that both of them are morons for believing in ghosts, Murray invites Dr. Katman, a science teacher from William Penn, to come over and give legitimate reasons for the paintings falling. Bev counters by inviting a paranormal expert (played by Stephnie Weir) to the home.


  • Actor Allusion: Professor Majors, who dislikes Rocky Horror for its inaccurate portrayal of scientists, is played by Brad Majors himself, Barry Bostwick.
    Majors: [looking at the invitation] Why is this guy walkin' around in his undies?
    Barry: That's Brad. He's a doof.
    Majors: You're a doof! [student drops some papers] Dammit, Janet! [takes his glasses off]
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Murray makes fun of Beverly for believing in ghosts, yet freaks out when she touches his "lucky wall" while watching football, thinking it affects the outcome of the game.
  • Halloween Episode: The A-plot involves Barry planning a "Rocky Horror"-themed Halloween party, while the B-plot is about Bev thinking the house is haunted.
