There\u2019s no better way to get in the Halloween spirit<\/a> than dimming the lights, sipping on a pumpkin spice latte, and starting a marathon of your favorite TV shows\u2019 Halloween episodes. Or, maybe you just want to switch out your nightly TV show with a festive episode. Disney Channel\u2019s \u201cMonstober,\u201d which aired Halloween episodes of its shows, was usually the highlight of Halloween time for me when I was younger.<\/p>\n As much as I love a fall TV show<\/a> like Gilmore Girls<\/em>, a spooky, chaotic Halloween episode is even more nostalgic for me this time of year. From Disney Channel faves to comedy classics, here are some of my favorite episodes to watch in October to get in the Halloween spirit.<\/p>\n The long-running NBC comedy had five Halloween-centric episodes, and there are plenty of costumes and hilarious mishaps to get you into the spirit.<\/p>\n How to watch: Peacock<\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s no shortage of holiday episodes of The Office<\/em>. but the Halloween episodes are some of my favorites.

I think the best part of this episode is that Pam is the only employee dressed up at the corporate office.<\/p>\n The Scranton Dunder Mifflin employees show their competitive side during an office Halloween costume competition. My favorite costume is Gabe\u2019s, but I won\u2019t spoil it!<\/p>\n At this year\u2019s Halloween party, Erin tries to make the office a bit spookier. However, it becomes disastrous, and Erin worries she could get fired.<\/p>\n On Halloween, Andy brings in his Cornell a cappella group to perform in the office. This episode is bittersweet, as it\u2019s the last Halloween episode in the series.<\/p>\n There\u2019s only one major Halloween episode in everyone\u2019s favorite sitcom, but it\u2019s worth a rewatch every year.<\/p>\n Monica and Chandler throw a Halloween party. At the party, Phoebe meets her twin\u2019s fianc\u00e9 (played by Sean Penn) and learns that her sister has been lying to him about most aspects of her personality. Of course, the star of the show in this episode is Chandler in his pink bunny costume.\u00a0<\/p>\n How to watch: HBO Max<\/a><\/p>\n The Dunphys, Pritchetts, and Tucker-Pritchetts have plenty of Halloween episodes to keep you busy for a whole night.\u00a0<\/p>\n How to watch: Peacock<\/a><\/p>\n In the series\u2019 first Halloween episode, Claire reveals her love for the holiday when she transforms the Dunphy home into a haunted house.

Additionally, Mitch and Cam host their own Halloween party.<\/p>\n Phil takes the Halloween decorations into his own hands this year and creates the \u201cAwesome Land\u201d theme.

They later start to wonder if everyone is right about their overenthusiasm for the holiday.<\/p>\n The family copes with a loss on Halloween, but they are still dressed in costume and celebrating, while grieving \u2014 it\u2019s not all laughs, but it\u2019s a nice balance between sentimentality and humor.<\/p>\n Phil is set on finally scaring Claire on Halloween.
