October is a horror fanatic’s favourite time of the year. Why, you ask? Because a) all we have to do is turn on our televisions and we are basically guaranteed that a horror movie will be on and b) because most of our favourite television series come out with their own spooky Halloween horror specials! (I obviously love Halloween for more than just that, but you get the jist of it!)
Every October I would pull out the old blank VHSes and record as many Halloween specials as I possibly could. Since such technology doesn’t exist the same way today as it did back then, I have instead compiled a list of my favourite Halloween television specials for you to enjoy along with me!
In no particular order, these are my thirteen (picture-only, spoiler-free!) must-watch Halloween TV specials:
13) Community – Season 2: Episode 6 “Epidemiology”
12) Supernatural – Season 4: Episode 7 “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester”
11) Sabrina the Teenage Witch – Season 3: Episode 6 “Good Will Haunting”
10) Boy Meets World – Season 5: Episode 5 “The Witches of Pennbrook”
