We Ranked the Top 7 Sitcom Episodes for a Perfect Halloween Mood

While Halloween is primarily seen as being about horror and fear, the actual goal has always been to have fun. That's why sitcoms often make use of this specific holiday. In fact, there are so many Halloween-themed sitcom episodes that choosing one to watch can be a daunting task.

Here, we've listed for you the seven best Halloween sitcom episodes that can help put you in the right mood for a night of trick-or-treating.

7. Tricker Treat – The King of Queens (Season 4, Episode 6, 7.9)

While it's amusing to watch people being scared witless, it can really suck when you're on the receiving end of a really mean Halloween trick designed to really scare you. In fact, it can be so bad you can get a heart attack. That's exactly what happens in this episode, as Arthur ends up in the hospital after Doug's Halloween prank goes terribly wrong.

6. Spooky Endings – Happy Endings (Season 2, Episode 5, 8.0)

Brad and Jane agree to house-sit on Halloween to protect their friends' home from being egged. Meanwhile, the rest of their group heads to a costume party in a decommissioned warehouse.

5. Halloween Candy – Everybody Loves Raymond (Season 3, Episode 6, 8.1.)

Halloween may not be the most romantic night of the year, but Ray chooses it to take his relationship with his girlfriend to the next level. As the holiday's focus suddenly shifts to sex, his parents mistakenly hand out condoms to the local trick-or-treaters.

4. Tricks and Treats – Freaks and Geeks (Season 1, Episode 3, 8.2)

Despite only having one season, this series quickly became a cult sitcom. Its Halloween episode, which centers around the main character, Lindsay, leaving her mom to hang out with friends around town, is no exception. It humorously explores themes of family and friendship.

3. Halloween – Frasier (Season 5, Episode 3, 9.0)

Given that it's a Frasier episode, no explanation is needed as to what one can expect. Hilariously funny, it includes a touch of the family drama that always accompanies Frasier and his brother Niles. Notably, the costumes featured are quite unconventional for the occasion.

2. Treehouse of Horror TV – The Simpsons (Season 6, Episode 6, 9.2)

As humorous as every other episode of The Simpsons, this one also offers a spooky twist. It features Homer suddenly going insane, accidental time travel, and cannibalistic school staff.

1. And Then There Was Shawn – Boy Meets World (Season 5, Episode 17, 9.4)

Featuring an absurdly unreal situation, this episode follows the main characters as they are detained at school for a fight. Boredom turns into fear when they discover they're locked in the school with a creepy janitor. They start really spiraling when they find a message that nobody is getting alive written on a chalkboard in blood.
