Modern Family Halloween Episodes Ranked 【Top 10 Real】

Mitchell as “The Crimson Crow” (a superhero he invented in law school). Best Line: Cam (holding a tennis racket at the bats): “I am NOT sleeping with the enemy tonight!” 7. “Halloween” (Season 9, Episode 5) – The One to Skip Premise: Claire fakes a neck injury to get out of hosting, so Phil takes over. Chaos ensues involving a faulty electric chair prop and Gloria’s jealousy over Manny’s girlfriend.

The law of diminishing returns hits hard here. Phil as the “chaotic host” is just annoying rather than endearing. The electric chair gag is predictable (it shocks Phil 47 times). The Manny subplot is tedious. By Season 9, the writers had clearly exhausted the “Claire is a control freak” well.

Mitchell as a reluctant “Spider-Man” (Cam sewed him into it). Best Line: Jay (staring at the neighbor’s inflatable ghost): “It’s not a competition. It’s a war of attrition.” 3. “Halloween 3: AwesomeLand” (Season 4, Episode 5) – The Guilty Pleasure Premise: The family ditches Claire’s strict plans to take Lily to an obnoxiously cheerful kid’s theme park called “AwesomeLand,” leaving Claire alone to scare nobody.
