Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Technically any episode is in the spirit of Halloween, because vampires and werewolves and magick and otherwise general demonness. But here are the best Halloween episodes! You can find Buffy on Netflix.- Puppet Show, season 1 episode 9: this one scared the crap out of me when I first saw it because I have an irrational fear of those damn puppets. Also, I was in middle school and it was the middle of the night, so I was spooked.
- Some Assembly Required, season 2 episode 2: Has a Frankenstien-esque plot!
- Inca Mummy Girl, season 2 episode 4: Deals with mummies. Mummies = spooky.
- Halloween, season 2 episode 6: the first of three Halloween-themed episodes, you can't miss it this time of year!
- Killed By Death, season 2 episode 18: Buffy sees Death in the hospital while she's sick. It leaves me quaking in my stylish yet affordable boots.
- Dead Man's Party, season 3 episode 2: Zombies! 'nuff said.
- Fear, Itself, season 4 episode 4: The second Halloween episode of the series. It's my favorite of the three!
- Hush, season 4 episode 10: The Emmy-nominated episode where everybody loses their voices in a dark, wicked fairy tale.
- Buffy vs Dracula, Season 5 episode 1: Ugh, if you must. It's a pretty silly episode, but, it's Dracula, so I guess you gotta watch it in October.
- All the Way, season 6 episode 6: The third and final Halloween episode in the series. It's not as great as the other two, but it's directly tied to Halloween!
- Conversations With Dead People, season 7 episode 7: Lots of creepy shit happens to everybody. Season 7 is a bit hard to follow if you've never seen the show, so I don't recommend this one if you're not a seasoned Buffy fan. But if you know the show, it's a good spooky one!
Psych
Netflix has tragically taken Psych off of its repertoire, but if you can find it elsewhere, there are some great episodes here!- Scary Sherry: Bianca's Toast, season 1 episode 15: The flashback at the beginning takes place on Halloween, and then there's some spooky ghost-y stuff that happens throughout the episode. Also, an abandoned insane asylum.
- Shawn (and Gus) of the Dead, season 2 episode 16: a mummy in the museum gets up and walks out?! eeek!
- Ghosts, season 3 episode 1: Shawn forces Gus to help him on a case that involves a very creepily haunted house.
- Tuesday the 17th, season 3 episode 15: takes its inspiration from Friday the 13th. Also, any time there is an actual Friday the 13th on the calendar, the following Tuesday is on the 17th so I like to watch it on those days!
- The Devil is in the Details (and the Upstairs Bedroom), season 4 episode 4: takes its inspiration from The Exorcist.
- Let's Get Hairy, season 4 episode 8: The suspect in a crime is a werewolf???
- Not Even Close... Encounters, season 5 episode 3: Shawn and Gus investigate an... alien abduction?
- In Plain Fright, season 5 episode 11: Shawn and Gus investigate creepy goings-on at a Halloween-themed theme park, and predictably creepy stuff happens.
- This Episode Sucks, season 6 episode 3: Shawn and Gus are convinced that the suspect in a crime is a vampire.
- Heeeeere's Lassie, season 6 episode 11: this one takes inspiration from The Shining, enough said!
- Lassie Jerky, season 7 episode 3: takes inspiration from the Blair Witch Project, and also Bigfoot and some other scary lost-in-the-woods stuff.
- A Nightmare on State Street, season 8 episode 9: zombies!!! and other scary nightmare things.
I'll be updating this post with other shows throughout the rest of the month!
