- Quotes
Dr. Spencer Reid: The cool thing about Halloween is that it's a uniquely American holiday. I mean, despite its obvious origins in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian All Saints' Day, it really is a melting pot of various immigrants' traditions and beliefs. It became a little more commercialized in the 1950s with trick-or-treat, and today it rivals only Christmas in terms of popularity.

Featured review
Movies vs. tv
Due to the Halloween broadacast tie-in, this episode of the series is less cerebral than usual, pandering instead to fans more accustomed to B movies.
The many horror movie connections are duly listed in IMDb and it plays like a low-budget horror thriler. One usunusl element is the prepodnerance of black actors in the cast in all sorts of roles -defying tokenism and encompassing both good guys and bad guys. Watching it I was reminded of bygone days when blaxploitation movies were so enteraining and plentiful, in particular the "Exorcist" ripoff "Abby" which I watched in a Cleveland theatter almost 50 years ago with a nearly all-black audience.
