Reddit's List of 10 Greatest Halloween TV Episodes

Halloween is one of the most beloved festivities among adults and children for a very simple reason — for a day, we get to reimagine our everyday life in a totally different, supernatural way and even transform into fictional characters, wearing elaborate costumes and makeup.

To get you ready for the approaching celebration, we've compiled a list of ten Halloween TV episodes that fans on Reddit think are the best to get you in the festive mood.

1. Bob's Burgers: Full Bars (Season 3, Episode 2)

One of the best known cartoons for adults, Bob's Burgers spanned 13 seasons, and its Halloween episode is really popular with fans. 'Full Bars' follows Bob's kids as they go trick-or-treating on their own, exploring the miraculous world of the rich neighborhood. The episode is lots of fun, but it's also thought-provoking as it sees the young Belchers make a hard and heroic decision at the end of the day.

2. Parks and Recreation: Greg Pikitis (Season 2, Episode 7)

Parks and Rec is a great choice to watch on any day. However, there is a special themed episode that's best suited for Halloween. 'Greg Pikitis' is centered on the titular delinquent who ravages the office year after year on the festive day, but this time, the protagonists are dead set to put an end to the boy's pranks. Hilarious and a little awkward, this episode fully captures the spirit of the whole show.

3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Halloween (Season 2, Episode 6)

Surprisingly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the only non-comedy on this list. The episode 'Halloween' has a simple but intriguing premise: as Buffy and her friends attend a Halloween fancy-dress party, they suddenly turn into the characters they impersonate. Mysterious and pretty spooky, this episode is a Halloween classic.

4. Community: Epidemiology (Season 2, Episode 6)

While Community is utterly absurdist and satirical in most of its episodes, 'Epidemiology' makes your blood run cold with how real the story gets. As the beloved characters organize a costume party at college, they have to deal with rabid attendees who have contracted the disease through the contaminated food at the venue.

5. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody: The Ghost of Suite 613 (Season 1, Episode 19)

This classic Disney show may not be targeted at adults, but fans are unanimous about the Halloween episode from Season 1 — it's a television gem. 'The Ghost of Suite 613' follows the titular twins as they steel themselves for spending a night at room 613, rumored to be haunted by a ghost. As the boys and their friends see their plan through, lots of fun ensues.

6. Roseanne: Halloween IV (Season 5, Episode 7)

Over its ten-season run, Roseanne delivered a number of Halloween episodes, which are all equally loved by fans. 'Halloween IV' sees the plot of Charles Dickens's classic novella A Christmas Carol adjusted for Halloween. Roseanne, who's lost her interest in the festivity, gets visited by Ghost of Halloween Past, Present, and Future.

7. That '70s Show: Halloween (Season 2, Episode 5)

The beloved classic sitcom that's given us many stars, That '70s Show features one brilliant Halloween episode. The plot revolves around Jackie and Donna who visit their grammar school, lost to a fire, and come across their school records that miraculously survived the disaster. The episode is less festive than the others on the list, but still very atmospheric.

8. Modern Family: Halloween (Season 2, Episode 6)

Just like Roseanne, ABC's Modern Family saw many Halloween episodes, but the first one is arguably the best. Being the ultimate Halloween fan, Claire is turning the Dunphy house into a haunted one and employing her extended family in different roles. However, things don't go according to Claire's plans, and her perfectionism turns the event into a travesty that's hilarious to observe from aside.

9. American Dad!: Best Little Horror House In Langley Falls (Season 7, Episode 3)

This very adult animation has long become a staple of TV. Over its 20-season run, American Dad! has made fun of lots of topics, including Halloween. Season 6's third episode follows Stan as he's trying to mend his ego, hurt by Buckle's outdoing him in the unofficial scariest haunted house race. Stan goes nuts and makes some serious mistakes along the way and has to face the ramifications of his actions.

10. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Who Got Dee Pregnant? (Season 6, Episode 7)

The most satirical of all entries on the list, this IASIP episode is centered on Dee who scares life out of the gang with her pregnancy news as they now have to figure out who the father is. Trying to establish the man's identity, the friends reminisce about their last Halloween party they don't really remember due to the amount of alcohol they consumed. Pretty dark and utterly hilarious, 'Who Got Dee Pregnant?' has all the Halloween vibes one needs for the celebration.
