With Spooky Season in full swing, I have taken the liberty to re-watch, review, and report 5 of the best sitcom Halloween episodes ever created. While I know everyone’s TV preferences vary, I have listed the following episodes based on the plot, characters, Halloween spirit, and overall spooky sense that the episode provides.

Choose your true crime content wisely. There are certain programs and producers of true crime content looking to benefit from horrific stories without proper consent from the victims, causing additional grief and inappropriate attention towards the victim’s families.

And she’s just marked you as her target.
When people talk about mean girls, the movie Mean Girls rightfully comes to mind. It’s the prime example of a popular girl with skewed morals who seeks to dominate the high school social scene through terrible misguided actions. As always, her two followers echo every word she speaks as if it’s gospel, but why do we see this trope across so many different films and television series?
