[meme] favorite Halloween episodes of tv shows
I started this yesterday and then Dad and J. showed up with my new vehicle (which is AWESOME) and I never finished. So here, have a half completed meme.

Top Five Scary Television Show Episodes
I'm going to tweak it a little and talk about some of my favorite Halloween episodes.
1. The Simpsons
I'm a big fan of the Treehouse of Horror series in general, but my absolute favorite is "Treehouse of Horror X" because it has "I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did" which, of course, has a werewolf. I really like werewolves, as I'm sure you know. My second favorite is "Treehouse of Horror IV" because it has "Bart Simpson's Dracula" which, obviously, has a vampire, plus the fun shot of Bart hovering outside Lisa's window in a shout-out to The Lost Boys. And I think the two episodes technically follow each other, with the car ride in IKWYDID following the events of BSD.
2. Roseanne
I love all of them, but probably my favorite is "Boo" because it starts the trend of a Halloween episode for the show, and I love the prank war between Roseanne and Dan. As I was trying to decide which was my favorite, I realized how much I miss the show and how many awesome things it dealt with, especially GBLT issues. They had lesbians, they had gay men, they had a woman who was more bisexual than lesbian, they had people coming out and the issues their friends and family faced, they had gay marriage, they had a lesbian falling for a straight woman - and it was all just part of the story, part of the characters, not something After School Special. It really did some things very, very right, at a time when not many other shows were doing these things. I miss it.
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Though my favorite seasons are 1 - 3, my favorite Halloween episode is probably "Fear, Itself" for a variety of reasons. 1) I love that Oz still has issues with the wolf, even though he seems so calm about it at earlier points. I like that glimpse behind his stoicism. 2) Oz pulling a knife to trim the wires? HOT. I like guitarists and hot people with knives, and so to combine them is a BIG THING. 3) I really love that it was Oz's blood that powered the magical symbol. 4) GOD OZ IS GOD. 5) I love parties with haunted houses and Little Red Riding Hood Costumes.
You can tell I like Oz, huh?
