Since the dawn of television sitcoms, the spirit of Halloween has always been prevailing. With Halloween specials becoming popular in the 1950s, fans of the genre were later treated by the 60s to spooky stories all year long with shows like The Addams Family and The Munsters. Yet, the Halloween special has remained an annual ritual of nearly all modern sitcoms since. The most famous of these is probably The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials. While there have been a lot of great specials over the years, the Boy Meets World Halloween special is still the best.The 17th episode of the fifth season of Boy Meets World, titled “And Then There Was Shawn,” premiered on February 27, 1998. Given its initial release date, the episode wasn’t supposed to be a Halloween special. But because of later syndication broadcasting during the holiday, it has since been referred to as such. When the main characters get stuck in school after hours because of detention, a masked killer hunts them down one by one. A parody of teen slasher movies from the time, like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, “And Then There Was Shawn,” is one of the best episodes of Boy Meets World.The episode seemingly picks up from the previous week’s show, reminding the audience of Corey and Topanga’s break-up and its effect on Shawn. All the while dishing out non-stop jokes, including a meta line regarding a never-before-seen character, Kenny. The episode is known for switching the show’s format of the three-camera setup in front of a live audience to include out-of-the-ordinary single-camera shots. With the help of sinister music, POV shots, and some blood on the chalkboard, the episode sets the spooky tone within five minutes before the first act break and without mentioning Halloween.Revisiting 1990s Nickelodeon Halloween Specials15 ’90s TV Shows That Wouldn’t Get Made Today
