Slim here. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was created, directed, and written by Joss Whedon in 1997. Though there are others who have directed and written episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon is the most talked about. To see all of his achievements, click here.
Halloween was directed by Bruce Seth Green, and written by Joss Whedon and Carl Ellsworth in 1997. The metaphor that Joss Whedon tries to get across in this episode is: Don't be someone you're not. Just be yourself. I really like this metaphor since it pertains to a lot of teenagers in today's society.
On Halloween, vampires decide to lay low, so Buffy planed on having a nice and quiet one this year. Unfortunately, Principal Synder forces her and her friends (Xander, and Willow) to chaperon kids while they go trick-or-treating. They have to drees up, so they go to a new costume shop where everyone is getting their costumes. Willow gets a ghost costume, Xander buys a toy gun to go with his army costume, and Buffy buys an 18th-century princess costume.
Spike (vampire enemy of Buffy) learns that on Halloween Buffy will become weak due to some new threat. After he hears this, he begins to plan his next attack.
On Halloween, the costume shop owner, Ethan Rayne, begins casting a spell with the aid of a statue of Janus, the god of doorways, beginnings, and transitions. In the middle of trick-or-treating, Ethan finishes his spell, and everyone that bought a costume from his shop changes into what they're dressed as. Willow becomes an actual ghost, Xander a soldier, and Buffy an 18th-century princess, scared stiff of vampires and demons.
With monsters running around Sunnydale and Buffy now a hopeless princess, Spike begins to make his attack.

Halloween wasn't scary to me, but it did a good job at keeping me entertained. The fight scenes were cheesy, as well as some of the acting, but other than that, it was fun and entertaining.
