Halloween: Haunted Houses and Murder

Okay. Not techinically Halloween, but with Psych's bizarre schedule (mid-summer start), it's as close as you get. The haunted house is a Halloween classic. The best part is always trying to figure out which of the characters are puppets or fake, and which ones are live people waiting to jump out and scare the jee-willigers out of you.

Check out the writer commentary from the episode.
