The episode featured many hilarious moments, including Jackie's severed screaming head, Roseanne's prank involving Dan's business associate and a dead man's stew.

Season five's Halloween episode gave fans equal parts laughs and sadness, as Roseanne got a visit from the Ghosts of Halloween Past, Present and Future to get her out of her depression.
The A Christmas Carol-like episode secured Roseanne's spot as the Queen of Halloween, and the scene of her finding out what her friends really think of her pumpkin cookies is a standout for the series.

Season 7's Halloween episode is considered one of the last good spooky-themed episodes of the series, despite giving a lot of time to discussions about sexuality among the family members.

Whether the episodes were some of the best, or a little disappointing. The show always surpassed expectations when it came to everyone's costumes.
From The Wicked Witch of the Midwest, guts everywhere and DJ's consistently adorable costumes, Roseanne always knew how to celebrate the spooky holiday.

While The Conners didn't resort to pranks or scares for their first Halloween episode, the show did showcase some creative costumes for its first outing.
The winner in our book goes to Becky's Sharknade O'Connor, a creative costume that also made us laugh. Though Dan's Napoleon Blown-A-Part and Mary's Scary J. Blige comes a close second.
