1. #FamilyMatters, "Stevil" (1996)
How could I kick this list off any other way? "Stevil" is the most f& #39;ed up Halloween sitcom episode ever—and I love it! Let this image of Urkel getting strangled by a dummy doppelgänger haunt your timeline!

2. #TheAdventuresOfOzzieAndHarriet, "Halloween Party" (1952)
This is probably the *first* Halloween-themed TV episode, and even in 1952 the adults are all like, "Ugh, can& #39;t we give Halloween back to the kids?" This episode is all party planning and barely any party!

3. #TheHoneymooners, "Halloween Party" (1953)
I tell ya, & #39;50s sitcoms are buhzarre. This was originally a sketch in a variety show—anyway! We& #39;ve got some DRAG in this one! And Audrey Meadows is the funniest person in the cast. This is the only episode I& #39;ve seen, though.

4. #Lassie, "The Witch" (1955)
Okay, well, this episode aired near Halloween AND features Jeff (this is pre-Timmy!) running afoul of a "witch" (she& #39;s just a cat lady), but it& #39;s not SET on Halloween. So...

5. #TheBigBangTheory, "The Middle Earth Paradigm" (2007)
I don& #39;t like this show but, I& #39;m... a completist. It& #39;s exhausting, but like, there is a Halloween party?

6. #TheFlintstones, "A Haunted House Is Not a Home" (1964)
Fred has to stay in a haunted house in order to get rich, and a trio of butlers try to murder him. It& #39;s fun! I want to love it, but it& #39;s only mid-level spooky. Love the design of the Bedrock haunted house, tho.

7. #TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir, "Hex and the Single Guy" (1993)
A near perfect "Twilight Zone" parody that spins out of actual events in the show& #39;s recent history (that deadly bungee jumping accident!). Carlton as Macaulay Culkin is so funny and so 1993.

8. #TheJetsons, "Haunted Halloween" (1985)
If the still below had been the entire episode, we& #39;d have a winner! Instead, it was a quick dream sequence in the middle of too many plots about too much nonsense. This episode was like stuffing yourself full of cheap candy.

9. #TheRealMcCoys, "The Ghostbreakers" (1959)
I have no idea where this show is set or even when it& #39;s supposed to take place. What a trip. This grandpa is one of the unintentionally (?) weirdest characters I& #39;ve seen in classic TV. A fine "haunted" house story.

10. #DennisTheMenace, "Haunted House" (1961)
No, it& #39;s not set on Halloween. But! It& #39;s a solid haunted house ep that aired near Halloween. It made me chuckle! Young Harold Gould and Harvey Korman, too!

11. #Jessie, "The Whining" (2012)
I& #39;m decades too old for any Disney sitcom. They really lean into everything that& #39;s bad about the genre. They& #39;re grating, mugging, hyper, and lazy. But. This is a riff on "The Shining" which is wild to see on Dinsey+. Also, Meshach Taylor!

12. #WizardsOfWaverlyPlace, "Halloween" (2009)
Listen: I& #39;m watching these for work. My quest to be thorough with Halloween coverage overlaps with the sick pleasure I get out of hate-watching things that are so clearly not for me. But sometimes you get to see Daniel Roebuck!

13. #ANTFarm, "MutANT Farm" (2011)
This is a redo of the pilot episode with a spooky, monstery twist. So... that makes it a fully bizarre first episode to watch! I wish this was the whole series, though? And Finesse Mitchell is great.

14. #TheAndyGriffithShow, "The Haunted House" (1963)
I& #39;ve already watched a *lot* of episodes about an old house that may be haunted, and of all of them, this one actually delivers the spooky goods. Solid haunted house gags, like a "Scooby Doo" episode.

Spooky season doesn& #39;t start until you& #39;ve seen Gomez read the Halloween poem and Don Rickles bob for crabs. A classic!

16. #Bewitched, "The Witches Are Out" (1964)
Such a smart Halloween episode, all about prejudice. Ahead of its time! It filters the holiday through the show& #39;s concept and comes up with something totally unique.

17. #Bewitched, "Trick or Treat" (1965)
This one builds on the progress Darrin made in Season 1, and it& #39;s such a showcase for Dick York& #39;s great physical comedy skills as he wolfs out during one of the Halloween dinner parties they& #39;re always having.
