It's Halloween! Everyone loves Halloween. If you don't love Halloween you can just march your butt right back on out of here because this week's Pass the Remote is alllllll about the creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, and all together ooky episodes of TV that we love to watch every year as All Hallow's Eve draws near. And even though no one actually picked The Addams Family as one of their favorite themed episodes (that's probably fair), there are still plenty of awesome episodes featured down below. So grab all of the leftover Halloween candy, put on some sinister music, lower the lights, and let's get to it!

What are your favorite Halloween-themed
episodes of TV?

Tim Surette: Halloween? More like HUMOR-ween for me! Comedies always produce the best Halloween-themed episodes IMO, and we've seen a bunch in our time with the tube. So much to choose from but I'm going to have to pick Freaks and Geeks' "Tricks and Treats" because www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ulr6K6qqlI" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ulr6K6qqlI" target="_blank">watching Bill dress up as the Bionic Woman and talk on the phone is like a sack full of all pink Starburst. Oh and Community's "Intro to Statistics" because Annie in skeleton spandex and Abed's Batman voice. Other great ones? Happy Endings' "Spooky Endings" for the Penny and Max costume, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's "Who Got Dee Pregnant?" for everyone's drunken recall of the night before. 

Kaitlin Thomas: I'm going to be hella predictable, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Fear, Itself," in which the characters' biggest fears manifest thanks to a fear demon and some idiot frat bros, remains my favorite Halloween-themed episode of TV. Xander turned invisible, Willow lost control of her magic, Oz (whose costume was just a name tag that said "God") wolfed out, while Buffy's friends deserted her. But because it's Buffy, there was plenty of humor, too, like Anya's fear of bunnies, Giles' sombrero, and the fear demon turning out to be only a few inches tall. Runners-up include How I Met Your Mother's "Slutty Pumpkin," Community's "Epidemiology," and New Girl's "Halloween," www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmKOcEeGUcc" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmKOcEeGUcc" rel="nofollow">specifically for this scene.

Nick Campbell: My brain is a littered wasteland of other people's clever phrasing. And while memories of the "Hanging Chad," declarations of various people being an "amazing detective slash genius," and, of course, the two-parter where Wishbone re-enacted The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, one of the few Halloween episodes in recent memory to give me a phrase that I use even today is from Bob's Burgers. In fact, I used it in my very first Pretty Little Liars review here. Candy like full-sized candy bars. "Full Bars" may be the episode where I really fell in love with that show, everything from Gene's U.N.I.T.Y. costume to Tina's reaction to watching a bunch of teenage boys skinny dipping ("There are a lot of carrots in that stew."). It's a modern classic. Also, you should watch that Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode ("This is a Dark Ride" from Season 3). It's the one where Adam Lambert hits on a Liar dressed like Daisy Buchanan. 

Noel Kirkpatrick: I went with a sort of weirdly campy choice: Quantum Leap: "The Boogieman - October 31, 1964." Sam leaped into a second-rate horror novelist who lived in Maine, and people started dying all around him in inexplicable ways not long after he arrived. The show had serious fun with the novelist's house—his office is exactly what you think a horror writer's office would like in '64—and it likewise advanced the idea that the Devil himself wasn't exactly thrilled with Sam setting right what once went wrong. The showdown between the Devil and Sam was a little silly, and Dean Stockwell chewed the scenery like nobody's business, but it was still an interesting idea all the same. Plus, the Stevie King gag at the end was pure Quantum Leap.

MaryAnn Sleasman: I actually really loved "Halloween: Part 1" and "Halloween: Part 2" from American Horror Story: Murder House. In general, I think that the Halloween episodes end up being among the better episodes of any American Horror Story season, but the two-parter in Murder House is still my favorite. So much of that season's mythology was introduced—Infantata's origins, the truth about Tate, the arrival of Rubber Man—but it was also a refreshing break from Halloween camp (though I do love me some camp) and the usual AHS batshit insanity. Halloween was the only night that the Murder House's condemned occupants could leave the property and, for just a few hours, leave their prison behind. The faces of Murder House's tortured souls as they marched back in at dawn said it all.

Andy Daglas: The Adventures of Pete & Pete was so adept at capturing aspects of suburban childhood that it's no surprise the show's All Hallow's Eve outing, Season 2's "Halloweenie,"would be one of its best. The perfect adolescent mix of the joys and mischief of trick or treating, and the pains of feeling you've become too old to have the same kind of fun you used to.  

Now it's your turn! Sound off in the comments with your own picks for favorite or best Halloween-themed episodes. We'll share the ones we liked best next week!
