I was never big on Halloween growing up. I mean of course I always went Trick-or-Treating but my costumes were always lame! What made it fun was fun going with friends/family, houses that went all out on decorations and FREE candy (Mr. Goodbar please). But more than anything I always looked forward to sitting in front of the TV for my favorite show’s Halloween specials. Here are my favorite one’s from the 90’s.





5. Boy Meets World – And Then There Was Shawn

The best thing about Halloween specials is that it didn’t have to make sense to the rest of the season You can kill off characters…bring in new ones…do whatever! Boy Meets world did it right. They brought Jennifer Love Hewitt in this epsisode! I mean, Jennifer Love Fefferman…

4. Freeks and Geeks – Tricks and Treats

This is what Halloween was like for me growing up. Except, luckily I never had my candy stolen by bullies who tried to fight me. AND my sister never egged my friends and me. But being weird and still wanting to Trick or Trick in Junior High…right here!

3. Family Matters – Stevil

The episode ends in a dummy dance off…need I say more?





2. Home Improvement – I Was A Teenage Taylor

One of the best shows from the 90’s that I think gets overlooked. They always had the BEST Halloween specials too! The one were Tim and Jill hire someone to scare the boys was my favorite. Gotta love that tool man’s pranks. I’m still not sure how you spell his grunt…uuuuuhhhuh?

Best Moment: Randy giving the kid dressed as Simba (he voiced him in the Lion King) extra candy and less to the kid dressed as Buzz Lightyear (voiced by Tim Allen in Toy Story).





1. The Simpsons – Treehouse of Horror III

Simpsons always do Halloween the best…especially in the 90’s. The hardest part was picking one episode. But this one has it all! A killer Krusty doll, a Zombie Flanders and some of the best quotes of all-time. It’s just not Halloween without the Simpsons.
