Pop Heist Picks: Best Halloween TV Episode

3:50 PM EDT on October 2, 2026

The Halloween episode has become something of a lost art.

In the age of binge TV, we very rarely get themed episodes of our favourite television. Long gone seem to be the days of your characters dressing up in costumes, a spooky party being the inciting incident for events of the episode, or the supernatural infiltrating the lives of our main characters.

That’s why Pop Heist is here to celebrate the best of the best in the first edition of Pop Heist Picks. How does it work? The Pop Heist subscribers (if you’re reading this: that’s you!) can vote for the best Halloween episode of TV. We’ll unveil the top three picks in a future newsletter and whichever episode wins, we’ll give a full recap of the episode on the website. 

To help narrow down the field, we’ve created a curated list of options to choose from. When voting, you may select up to 5 episodes to vote for.

If you want to rope any other TV lovers into this contest, have them register for the newsletter, too. Happy Heistoween!
