Halloween time is so good it even has its own episodes. 

It's October, which means it's officially Halloween time. Yes, I know we still have a whole month before the celebration starts, but Halloween isn't just another festivity; it is my—and a lot of people's—favorite holiday. That's why it deserves a whole month of celebration and preparation. If you don't have any plans before the 31st to start preparing yourself for all the spookiness, or if you are too afraid of horror movies, then you need to watch the different sitcoms' Halloween episodes. This thread made a lot of series fans get invested in deciding which show had the best Halloween episode. 

If you asked me, I would say that The Simpsons: The Treehouse of Horror is a no-miss. Almost every single one of them is spectacularly made, mixing the spookiness of the season while still being funny and upbeat. My favorite one is definitely the first one that ever aired: "Treehouse of Horror", season 2 episode 3. It has a parody of The Raven, the poem by Edgar Allan Poe, and it has the first-ever appearance of the aliens, Kang and Kodos. It's a must-watch from the series. 

One other special that is very dear to my heart because of how unhinged and hilarious it is is one from the sitcom Community; to be specific is season 2, episode 6, and it's called "Epidemiology". In this episode, there is a Halloween party at the community college where everyone starts to feel really bad and turns into zombies after eating the cheap food that Dean Pelton bought from an army supply store. It makes the whole school get locked up in a study room till they all become zombies. It's witty, it's hilarious, and whoever wrote it is definitely insane. But what do you think? Which is the best sitcom Halloween episode and why? There's definitely a lot to pick from. What do you think about the others' opinions? Are they on to something or just blinded by the love for the show?
