A bit of an unorthodox pick, but one that has stuck with me from childhood is the Rugrats Halloween episode from its first season, called “Candy Bar Creep Show.” Not only do the kids have an adventure on Halloween night with spooky jack-o-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, and a stroll through the adults’ haunted house, but we get another part to the episode that features the kids exploring a monster in their garage.
Rugrats was always one of my favorite shows, but this cemented the deal. Rugrats knew how to make Halloween look appealing to kids, especially a kid like me who was already a fanatic for it.
