Bob’s Burgers, AHS, & 6 of the best Halloween episodes streaming on Hulu
By Mads Lennon
Buffy the Vampire Slayer — “Fear, Itself”
As the title suggests, “Fear, Itself” (Season 4, Episode 4) is all about the gang being forced to confront their worst fears when a demon with the ability to manifest terror is accidentally released at a Halloween fraternity party. Buffy, Willow, Xander and Oz have to deal with the demon before they all wind up dead. Elsewhere, Giles struggles to get into the Halloween spirit but ends up coming to the party with Anya to help save Buffy and the rest from the demon.
American Horror Story — “Halloween”
Considering American Horror Story is a horror anthology series, any episode could technically qualify as a “Halloween” episode. Most seasons also contain at least one episode that is actually set on the beloved holiday.
There are tons of lists out there ranking the best Halloween episodes in the series from best to worst, but the two-parter from the first season, Murder House, will always hold a special place in my heart. In “Halloween Parts 1 & 2” (Season 1, Episodes 4 & 5), the line between the living and the dead begins to blur on Halloween and the ghosts are allowed to leave the Harmon house for the first time.
