Best line: “I tried to scare a man by standing very still. He asked me for directions to the bathroom. That’s not haunting.

In the pantheon of sitcom episodes built around holidays, “Halloween” episodes usually follow a predictable formula: spooky costumes, mild scares, and a lesson about facing your fears. But Ghosts — the CBS gem adapted from the UK original — doesn’t do predictable. In , the writers take the one night the living celebrate the dead and turn it into a brilliantly chaotic character study, a hauntingly sweet romance, and a surprisingly sharp meditation on invisibility.

But as Sam soon discovers, the “thin veil” doesn’t mean ghosts become solid. It means the living become briefly ghost-sensitive — able to see and hear the spectral residents in fleeting, terrifying bursts. Director Trent O’Donnell knows exactly how to weaponize the sitcom frame. The episode’s best gag comes when a party guest, convinced the mansion is haunted, wanders into the library. Suddenly, Hetty (the Gilded Age aristocrat) appears behind him, whispers “Get out… this is my séance room,” and disappears. The guest screams. Hetty smirks. Cut to Sam, who mouths, “Really?”

The Premise: One Night Only Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) are hosting their first Halloween party at the crumbling Woodstone Mansion. For the living, it’s about punch bowls, streamers, and impressing neighbors. For the dead? It’s the one night of the year they can be seen — or at least, they think they can.
