Trick-Or-Treat
Mr. Haunted Eve here. This is my all time favorite bit of Halloween TV that I saw as a young teenager. It most definitely planted the seed for wanting to do a yard haunt on Halloween as an adult when we purchased our first house. There's some debate about whether or not Mr. Gideon Hackles deserved his fate, but there's a very obvious clue in this episode that Mr. Gideon was dishonest and never had any intention of making good on his offer and that he may have been cheating for a very long time. He got what he deserved. But this episode "just works" and holds up 40 years later.
