Line 59:
** [[British Brevity]]? Just a guess, but it probably finished it's season in April and didn't return again until January, therefore there wouldn't have been much choice.
* Halloween being a holiday for the supernatural doesn't necessarily make things any easier for [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|the Scoobies]].
** Season 2 had "Halloween", where the trick-or-treaters in Sunnydale are subjected to a literal case of [[Becoming the Costume]] thanks to Giles's former friend, Ethan Rayne. This unfortunately includes Buffy, who chose to dress up as an 18th century lady in an effort to impress Angel, and becomes a [[
** Season 4 had "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S4 E4 Fear Itself|Fear, Itself]]", where someone getting blood on a supposedly fake mystical symbol makes the college [[Haunted House]] significantly more lethal, subjecting Xander, Willow, Oz, and Buffy to their current fears. Xander gets rendered invisible to the others (being left behind while the others are at college), a simple tracking spell of Willow's gets ''way'' out of hand (getting too far out of her league with the magicks), Oz transforms and accidentally hurts Willow (losing control and hurting those he loves), and Buffy gets stuck fighting a bunch of zombies by herself (being abandoned by those she loves and being alone because she is the Slayer). Also memorable for introducing Anya's fear of bunnies, [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Awesome|Giles making a door with a chainsaw]], and {{spoiler|the five inches tall Gachnar}}.
** Season 6 had "All the Way", where Dawn sneaks out to raise hell with her friend Janice and a couple boys, only to discover they're part of a group of vampires trying to rebel against the "Halloween holiday" spirit. Also provides setup for some of the events in "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S6 E7 Once More With Feeling|Once More, With Feeling]]". (Willow using a spell on Tara, Xander and Anya's engagement, Giles's fear that Buffy isn't taking responsibility because of him)
Line 237:
* The ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'' episode "Fear Itself" could be considered a Halloween episode, even though the gang didn't do anything Halloween-related besides watch a scary movie.
* ''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]'' had a Day of the Dead episode in 2000.
* ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'''s Halloween episode was a homage to [[Orson Welles]]' 1938 "[[The War of the Worlds]]" radio broadcast.
* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'''s The Puppetmaster was aired (and possibly meant) as a Halloween episode, since the holiday doesn't exist in their universe.
* ''[[The Mighty B]]'' has Bessie trapped in a cat costume and...[[A Day At the Bizarro|stuff happens]].
