Halloween isn’t just a one night only holiday. No, it’s a monthlong celebration of everything that goes bump in the night! Every day of October should be filled with cobwebs and critters, ghouls and goblins, and pumpkins pumpkins pumpkins. And if you don’t think there’s enough spookiness to spread across 31 days, think again. In addition to all the horror films and TV shows lurking on numerous streaming services, there are also hundreds of creepy sitcom episodes available for you to watch right now on Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon !

Seriously, there are a lot of Halloween episodes–there’s a whole Wikipedia page full of’em. TV shows have been turning out Halloween episodes since the dawn of the medium, and choosing the right one to watch can be a daunting task. That’s where Decider comes in! True to our name, we’re here to help you decide which creepy comedy is right for you with our Spooky Sitcom Decider.

We catalogued the most ghastly qualities from 46 different Halloween episodes across 25 different shows, focusing on tales that 1. originally aired around Halloween and 2. prominently feature the holiday and its hijinks (which rules out a lot of those Office episodes that feature costumes in the cold open and then bail on the holiday!). These are the episodes with the most costumes, haunted houses, elaborate ruses (meaning episode-long deceptions), gnarly pranks, legitimate monsters, and even some truly unsettling sequences (consider yourself warned about “Stevil”).

Click on the Decider flowchart below to begin your journey into multi-camera terror! And since many of these shows are available on multiple platforms, check out the list below the chart to see which shows are on which platform–and then dive back into the flowchart. Now, get to searching! And to streamline your streaming process, you can download a PDF of the flowchart complete with links to the episodes in question!
