12 Halloween Episodes You Need To Watch

So you can ready your October Netflix binge

1. Castle - "Vampire Weekend"

ABC / Via walkinthedust.wordpress.com

Nathan Fillion dresses up as Capt. Mal. Do you need another reason to watch?

2. Louie - "Halloween:Ellie"

FX / Via betterwithpopcorn.com

Probably one of the most accurate depictions of Halloween in a big city

3. How I Met Your Mother - "Slutty Pumpkin"

CBS / Via how-i-met-your-mother.wikia.com

Yeah Ted's story is cute and whatever, but Barney's endless costumes are really the thing that makes this fun

4. Freaks and Geeks - "Tricks and Treats"

Via tumblr.com

It doesn't matter who you were, you saw at least one of your childhood Halloweens in this episode

5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - "Fear, Itself"

Via fanpop.com

You would expect a show about vampire hunting to have great Halloween episodes, and you would be right.

6. South Park - "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery"

South Park Studios / Via bloody-disgusting.com

Because a Chewbacca mask is always a winning costume

7. Parks and Recreation - "Greg Pikitis"

This episode feels the least like a Halloween episode and more like a Parks and Rec episode with Halloween happening around it. That being said, a lot of great Halloween jokes.

8. It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

CBS / Via people.com

As classic as it gets

9. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - "Who Got Dee Pregnant?"

FX / Via tvschool.tumblr.com

Hey it's the Halloween you have at 25 that you don't remember and will never admit to having!

10. Modern Family - "Halloween"

NBC / Via filmsveganism.blogspot.com

Proof no one is that mature on Halloween.

11. Community - "Epidemiology"

NBC / Via nerdlikeyou.com

Community does a zombie episode for Halloween. Of course it was always going to be great.

12. The Simpsons - "Treehouse of Horror V"

FOX / Via universityobserver.ie

You can endlessly debate which Treehouse of Horror is the best (this is my vote), and you could probably just have this entire list of just Treehouse of Horror episodes, but you absolutely need to at least watch one every Halloween
