The [[Halloween Cosplay|characters are costumed]], their houses are decked out haunted mansion style, they tell spooky stories, and weird (or weirder than usual) things abound! It's the yearly '''[[All Hallow's Eve|Halloween]] Episode'''!
 
Probably the most well best-known of these is ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' "[[Treehouse of Horror]]" episodes, but most American kids' and genre shows have them. While [[Santa Clausmas|neither Samhain nor All Saints Eve]] is ever mentioned, the similarly themed (but more upbeat) Día de Muertos (November 1-2) might be if the characters are on a visit to Mexico.
 
If it's ''too'' scary (or rather, too ''successful''), this may result in [[Nightmare Fuel]]. Often [[A Day at the Bizarro]]. Either way, coming across a Halloween episode of a show you watch in syndication is often an unexpected treat.
