The “Home Improvement” Halloween specials include…

  • “Haunting of Taylor House” (1992)

Brad and Jennifer plan to dress like Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy on Halloween, but she shows up with Danny and is instead dressed like him. After Danny tries to ruin Tim’s “Catacombs of Terror”, Tim (Nanastein) scares him away with the help of Al and Wilson. Note: this the first Halloween episode.

  • “Crazy for You” (1993)

It’s Halloween, and as usual Tim is up to his old tricks, however Jill plans a prank of her own on Tim. Tim gets cookies from a fan named Rose, but soon strange things start happening. She keeps calling him, and Wilson thinks she is obsessed with him. Tim tries to hide but it’s no use.

  • “Borland Ambition” (1994)

Harry offers to sell Tim 20 percent of his hardware store (that Harry’s brother is selling). Jill doesn’t let Tim buy it, so Al decides to purchase it. When Al becomes obsessed with the store, this drives everyone crazy, even Ilene when he skips a date with her, and Tim decides to confront him about it. Brad and Randy try to beat Mark, as Al, in a Halloween costume contest, but Mark wins because Al’s mom was the head judge.

  • “Let Them Eat Cake” (1995)

Brad throws a Halloween party for his new friends at school while Mark is sick. Meanwhile, Tim, Jill, Al, Heidi, and Ilene go to an awards show, hoping to win one for Tool Time, but it seems that the winner will be Cooking with Irma, which has won every other award, until Tool Time wins for the best show.

  • “I Was a Teenage Taylor” (1996)

It’s a battle of Halloween pranks. First, Tim scares Al, then Brad and Randy scare Jill, then a strange man shows up at the door asking to see the basement. Jill, Tim and Wilson tell Brad and Randy that years ago a man named Clifford Warren was accused of killing his brother, but because of his mental problems he was put in an insane hospital. Little do the boys know that it’s a Halloween prank. Unfortunately, Al blows the secret and they invite him to help them pull a prank of their own, but Al blows that one too. Tim, Jill and Mark end up scaring Brad and Randy in the attic, and Al and Wilson pull a prank of their own on the Taylors.

  • “A Night to Dismember” (1997)

It’s Halloween at the Taylor’s house. Jill is worried that Mark will spend the night alone with Ronnie. She asks Brad and Randy to take them to a party they’re going to, but they refuse. Mark tells his parents that he and Ronny are in a film class, and that they’re going to be making a horror film. He asks the family to be in it, and they accept. When they start, Jill and Tim worry that it won’t be good because it isn’t scary yet. When they find his video, they decide to watch it to see how it’s going. They find out that it’s about a boy, Clark, who has been ignored by his family, Jim, Lil, Chad and Andy. He sees a mad scientist, Dr. Wilsonstein, to get a potion that will turn them into freaks. He then decides to kill them. This makes Jill worry because she thinks Mark really does feel ignored, and wants to kill them. When they start the next scene, he is about to chop his father’s head off, and Mark holds up a real knife. Jill has had enough, and decides that they need to talk.

  • “Bewitched” (1998)

The Taylors’ Halloween-prank tradition continues when Jill springs the ultimate on Tim, feigning the disappearance and death of Wilson.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
