"Halloween is my favorite holiday for entertainment, and I don't just mean spooky movies. Some of the best things to watch this time of year are the Halloween episodes of your favorite TV shows, from sitcoms to dramas to animated series. They're only 30ish minutes long, they feature well-rounded characters who are already known for great dialogue and storylines, and they aren't hard to watch, even if you don't know what's happened in the series beforehand."
"This list of Halloween episodes could honestly read like the perfect little marathon sesh. From funny laugh-out-loud sitcoms like New Girl and Abbott Elementary to classics like The Simpsons and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, there's a Halloween episode for every TV watcher on this list. Watch a few at once, watch one per night in October, whatever - but they're bound to get you in the mood and make for great Halloween night watching as you wait on trick-or-treaters."
"There are a few How I Met Your Mother Halloween episodes, but "The Slutty Pumpkin Returns" is so good. It's a nice call-back to the first Slutty Pumpkin episode featuring Ted pining away for the girl in the Slutty Pumpkin costume he saw one year at a Halloween party and it features Katie Holmes as a guest star. You can stream How I Met Your Mother on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, and Apple TV."
A curated selection of Halloween TV episodes spans sitcoms, dramas, and animated series, offering varied tones from laugh-out-loud comedy to classic supernatural storytelling. Episodes typically run about 30 minutes and feature well-rounded characters with strong dialogue and storylines, making them accessible even to viewers unfamiliar with the rest of a series. Viewing options include marathon sessions or one episode per night in October to build atmosphere. Examples include Modern Family's "Halloween," Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Halloween episode where Buffy loses her slaying abilities, and How I Met Your Mother's "The Slutty Pumpkin Returns," which features Katie Holmes. Several shows are available across major streaming platforms.
