The Best Halloween Episode Ever For Scaredy Cats Like Me

If you know anything about me, you know that I don't do scary. I grew up with family members who were either impartial or obsessed with Halloween and scaring. I learned quickly that being scared was not an activity I enjoyed and that I was easily scared. Heck, I jump if you move to fast. I can see it coming and I'm still going to flinch.

As if disliking being scared was not enough, I really did not enjoy watching scary movies (except the funny ones like Scream that are just so fake that they make me laugh). I loved the Alvin and the Chipmunks Halloween movies and watching "The Munsters" with my dad, but only because they weren't scary.

As you can imagine, my favorite Halloween TV episode is not scary either. In watching it again, it's amazing that I saw it for the first time thirteen years ago. That's right. It's "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" Halloween special from 2005: "The Ghost in Suite 613." Quite possibly the best Halloween episode to ever cross this planet just because of the humor mixed in with the slight scare, this episode highlights the nightmare every child worries about around Halloween time. While now, Halloween is just about dressing as slutty as possible and drinking yourself to death, Halloween used to be about walking about, trick or treating late at night and hoping not to run into a ghost.

In this episode, the cast tests the myth of the ghost in Suite 613. She is believed to be a beautiful, rich woman whose husband cheats on her after leaving her for war. After discovering the news, she threw her hairbrush at her mirror in a fit of rage and the glass shattered. One of the pieces cut her when the mirror shattered and she died. The cast heads into Suite 613, determined to discover whether or not the ghost does or does not exist.

The most famous scene from this episode involves Esteban, the lowly bellhop. Everyone has seen him speak in a woman's voice as if possessed. While the cast looks scared, the audience can laugh at the fact that again, Esteban sounds like a woman. In the end, we find out that the whole thing was a plot to scare Zack, as the rest of the cast was tired of him scaring them and pulling pranks on them.




"The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" is available for streaming in the Apple Store and Amazon (or Youtube for free). To the scaredy cats like me looking to watch something that celebrates Halloween, "The Ghost in Suite 613" is a great choice.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
