List of spongebob halloween episodes11/8/2023 ![]() Of course, the only Halloween episode that could possibly top Modern Family’s first, is its last. Such is the power of a near-perfect Modern Family episode. ![]() You’ll most definitely laugh, and if you have a heart, you’ll probably also cry. Haley, Alex, and Luke learn that none of them know what to do in the face of tragedy, and Lily gets busy haunting Gloria and stealing hoagies. Jay mourns his missing sandwich while Gloria battles the ghost of DeDe in the form of dozens of tiny 3D-printed sculptures of her (we love a 2018 mall culture moment). Mitch and Claire fight over their starkly different relationships to their mother. Phil and Cam make a remarkable couple of concerned significant others, traipsing through West Hollywood traffic in an attempt to bring home some nostalgic ice cream for their spouses. Now that we’ve covered what everyone’s wearing: With DeDe’s death looming large over the holiday, everyone pairs off to grieve in their own special ways. To paint you a picture: Mitchell and Cam are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Gloria and Jay are Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, Claire and Phil are a spider and her trapped fly, and the kids are a hodgepodge of half-assed young adult costumes that fall apart by the end of the grief-stricken evening - most notably, Alex is a convincing RBG for roughly one scene. Luckily, The Great Pumpkin does end up saving the day, and makes this episode one that's still worth watching - even without the great costumes.ĭressed in the best costume lineup Modern Family has ever accomplished, the Dunphy-Pritchett family must grapple with the death of Mitchell and Claire’s mom, DeDe. As all the Modern Family kids grew up, I’ll bet it was a struggle to concoct new Halloween stories. All in all, there’s not as much Halloween fun afoot in this episode as I would've liked. In fact, the only Dunphy-Pritchett family members we get to see dress up are Claire in what is presumably Gloria’s hand-me-down Wonder Woman outfit, and precious Joe as a fed-up Zeus. Meanwhile, a delayed kitchen renovation is haunting Cam and Mitchell, who sadly skip the costumes this year. The kids are all off doing completely non-Halloween-related stuff, Phil fails to trojan-horse a pumpkin, and even Claire’s office isn't interested in the horde of zombies she hired to help celebrate. ![]() At least, that’s how Phil and Claire feel in one of the saddest Modern Family Halloween episodes (second only of course to the one featuring a literal death in the family). So is the reveal of his date's identity: She's a giant, "Creature from the Black Lagoon"-inspired monster.What’s scarier than Halloween? Reaching the age where you’re expected not to care about it anymore. It's not quite as high on the Laugh-o-Meter as some of the other Halloween specials, however, though the scene where SpongeBob and Patrick give the Flying Dutchman a makeover so he can go on his date and free the two from his spell is a delight. Some pretty macabre jokes make it in, like the Flying Dutchman using Davy Jones' coffin as a closet (with the skeleton still inside) and Squidward's morbid fantasy of SpongeBob and Patrick getting chopped up by his lawnmower (eliciting the SpongeBob line, "Aaah! My patty-flipping hand!"). Krabs' nonplussed reactions to seeing him and Patrick as ghosts. There are plenty of funny gags here, such as SpongeBob making a "ghost spatula" by splitting a physical one in half, as well as Squidward and Mr. ![]()
