The spooky season is upon us, and that means curling up with television's favorite tradition: a classic Halloween episode.
In the grand TV canon, only a few things are certain: cancellation, crossovers, and themed episodes. Despite not being as integral to the TV machine as they once were, the tradition of the holiday episode—and the Halloween episode, in particular—has continued to withstand the test of time, even surviving into the streaming age. The perfect Halloween episode will include the actual holiday itself, some classic tricks and treats, and a spooky storyline, too.
At one point, Snoopy, ever the showman in his fighter jet costume, creeps through vaguely haunting tableaus of World War I France, a reminder of how the series will suddenly slip in small, pointed moments. And it’s all buoyed by Linus’ undying belief that despite his continued absence, this year, the “Great Pumpkin” will come, provided that he offers enough “sincerity” in his pumpkin patch.
Once they make it into the suite, the episode pulls no punches with the scares, from ghost detectors to characters being pulled off-screen one by one into a dark abyss. The most memorable part of the episode is undoubtedly the séance that takes place in the second half, where Esteban gets possessed by the titular ghost. Though it all turns out to be a prank the gang are pulling on Zack, that doesn’t stop the uneasiness we all felt watching this as kids.
