5. House, "Guardian Angels"
House and his new cohort have to treat a patient who keeps seeing dead people. Spooky, and effective. Rolling into it's fourth season, this show still has plenty of ammunition to surprise us with.
4. Supernatural, "Bedtime Stories"
Okay, so this episode only made one fleeting reference to halloween, but lets face it; all Supernatural episodes are halloween episodes. And this one more than most.
The populace of a small town start acting out Grimm brothers fairy tales with gruesome results. It has something to do with the ghostly spectre of a little girl. Macho spirit-hunting ensues.
3. The Simpsons, "Treehouse of Horror XVIII"
Sooner or later they're going to run out of roman numerals, right?
Another alien invasion story, a take on "Mr & Mrs Smith", and another Flanders-as-the-devil segment. Looks like they're still struggling to come up with new ideas for this show. But this episode did make me smile a few times.
2. Reaper, "Leon"
The devil on halloween; "I detest it with every fiber of my being. It’s the commercialization of evil. the one day when not a soul on Earth fears me, or even believes in me. I become a party gag. A plastic mask."
True words, true words. This episode marks the first departure from the formulaic 'monster of the week' standard plotline for the show, as there are actually two escaped souls that feature in this thrilling halloween episode. Plus it has a werewolf-dog-thing, so it must be good.
1. Pushing Daisies, "Girth"
It's almost spooky how this show continues to stay fresh. Kind of like those rotten strawberries that Ned 'resurrects' for his pies.
Turns out Ned has problems with halloween, ever since the year he realised that his father was a complete loser. But thanks to the arrival of a murderous 'ghost jockey', this halloween may well be his worst yet.
