- Quotes
Dr. Sam Beckett: You know, Al, this ghost hunting equipment that Dr. Mintz has placed around the estate, it's not bad for '71. It's designed to pick up a wide spectrum of electrical activity, including brain waves. Get a load of this. It picked up my leap-in last night.

Featured review
Nepotism at its worst
Halloween episode I came here to find out it didn't air for Halloween. Weird! Episode would have been better but Deborah Pratt ruins it. She is wooden and homely. I also came here to look at who that inept actress was and I see she is named "Deborah Pratt". Wait, what? You mean the producer cast HERSELF in a role as a young ingenue and a pretty leading lady?? LOLOL! Unbelievable. To make matters worst, she's not just the producer, she's the WIFE of Bellisario. WTF?? (Actually she only stayed married to him for some 7 years, enough to get herself a nice chunk of change and a career in Hollywood that seems to have halted since her divorce from the big Kahuna!)
What can I say about this episode? I love the Halloween vibe, I can't stand to look at Pratt. The other actress was great (the governess). Pratty instantly became my most disliked actress in the series and I'll say no more because I love the story but even Robert Torti (looking strangely like Richard Marx here) was, IMHO, very miscast here. I still give it 8/10 because I'm a sucker for anything Halloween. I prefer The Boogieman, though.
