10 Of The Best Television Episodes To Watch This Halloween
Jett's TV

I love dressing up and going out for Halloween but growing up, I lived in a rural area and my house never had any trick-or-treaters stop by. Nevertheless, my mom always bought a bag of candy just in case. And so started the tradition of watching all of our favorite Halloween television episodes and eating a bag of candy.

In case you aren't the social butterfly of the year, here's a list of 10 of the best Halloween television episodes from different series to watch while enjoying with your bag of candy.


1. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody "The Ghost in Suite 613" S1 Ep.19

This episode is one of the most epic Halloween episodes ever. I don't care that I am now 22 years old and this show hasn't existed for the past eight years; this will always set the standard for classic Halloween fun.


2. That '70s Show "Halloween" S2 Ep.5

Not only is That '70s Show one of the funniest shows in general, but it also had a knack for satirically poking fun at mainstream media. This Halloween episode rips off the most famous scenes from big-name movies like Psycho using the crazy antics of the characters we love.


3. Glee "The Rocky Horror Glee Show" S2 Ep.5

Glee isn't really a scary show, and the producers didn't necessarily try to make this a scary episode; instead, they show off one of pop culture's most famous and renowned musicals that makes Halloween fun and exciting. And Glee does it perfect contemporary justice.


4. American Horror Story "Halloween Part 1" S1 Ep.4

American Horror Story could really be considered an entire Halloween series. That said, this episode packs in the creepy, dead people at your door cliche for a chill that will run all the way down your spine.


5. Gossip Girl "How to Succeed in Bassness" S3 Ep.7

This episode will satisfy all of your costumey, mysterious desires while still giving you the scheming and deceit of upper east side teenagers. Backstabbing is rampant, although for this series' Halloween episode, thankfully, there isn't any real stabbing.


6. Pretty Little Liars "This is a Dark Ride" S3 Ep.13

Pretty Little Liars also holds an air of Halloween and creep through the entire year, but this Halloween episode especially gives you goosebumps. From presumed dead characters and being trapped on a train to costumes galore and a special appearance by Adam Lambert in all his gothic glory, the only thing you should be scared of is missing out on this great episode!


7. King of Queens "Ticker Treat" S4 Ep.6

King of Queens puts Halloween back into the light-hearted and funny spirit with a hilarious battle for Halloween between Arthur and Doug that all begins with a pumpkin.


8. The Big Bang Theory "The Holographic Excitation" S6 Ep.5

The Big Bang Theory is one of the most fun shows to watch that is still on the air, and while the characters dress up on many occasions throughout the series, the Halloween episodes turn it up a notch.


9. Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Halloween" S1 Ep.6

This was the first episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine I actually enjoyed. There is something just wonderful about an entire precinct of officers competing to steal a medal in full costume while the one person that hates Halloween has to dress up for a case. The characters definitely make this episode enjoyable.


10. The Office "Halloween" S2 Ep.5

As you probably already know, The Office is one of the funniest television shows of all time, mostly because of how cringe-worthy Michael is and this Halloween themed episode is no exception.

So, grab some candy and the remote and sit back for hours of Halloween entertainment that doesn't require an itchy costume, sticky fake blood, gaudy make-up or wearing pants--and start a new tradition right in your own home!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
