Look, if you’re a Modern Family fan like me, you know that Halloween is a pretty big deal for the Pritchett-Dunphy-Tucker clan! They've brought hilarious and spooky antics to our screens every October, serving up some epic trick-or-treat tomfoolery. So, grab your popcorn and your favourite Modern Family merch from Fun Cases, and let's dive into the frightful yet fab world of Modern Family's best Halloween episodes, ranked from super spooky to fang-tastically funny!
The Halloween Awakening – Season 2, Episode 6
Kicking things off with a classic, we've got "Halloween," the episode that kick-started it all. Claire takes her love for Halloween to the next level, turning the Dunphy house into a haunted wonderland. Phil, the ever-supportive hubby, tries to keep up while juggling his own misadventures. And who could forget Mitchell's cringe-worthy Spiderman costume disaster at work? This episode sets the bar high with some spooky shenanigans that perfectly blend family humour and fright.
Mitchell's Bat-tastic Night – Season 9, Episode 5
Next up, we have “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Phil Dunphy,” where the spotlight shines on Mitchell who, much to his horror, finds himself trapped in a bat costume! Jay and Gloria are off doing their own thing, and Mitchell's unease is palpable. Meanwhile, Cameron goes all out with an energetic and flamboyant punk rock party. You’ll be cackling as the night unfolds with unexpected twists that only Modern Family can deliver.
Wrapped Up in Phil – Season 8, Episode 5
“Halloween 4: The Revenge of Rod Skyhook” is a personal fave for its sheer creativity. Phil tries to stage an elaborate Houdini-style prank, embodying the character of Rod Skyhook. But, as you can guess, it doesn’t go smoothly. Claire’s thrill for Halloween collides with Phil’s and the kids’ antics, creating chaos that’s laugh-out-loud funny. Plus, the sibling rivalries and friendly spooks are spot on!
The Quest for Candy – Season 4, Episode 5
“Open House of Horrors” is a corker, with Phil desperately trying to prove that he's not chuckle-worthy scary but actually really spooky scary. Meanwhile, Cam and Mitchell are consumed by Lily's first trick-or-treating experience, balancing between being the fun dads and the sensible parents. The episode is packed with family fun, awkward encounters, and enough giggles to keep you entertained.
Phil's House of Horrors – Season 6, Episode 6
“Halloween 3: Awesomeland” brings out Phil’s inner child as he turns the house into “Awesomeland” rather than Claire’s usual horror-inspired theme. This episode flourishes with its Halloween-inspired décor dramafest, which is nothing short of bloody brilliant. Watch Claire battle her insecurities, Cam and Mitchell handle their parenting challenges, and Gloria spook her own little cherubs.
