Traditions - HAUNTED PLACES: Todd and Natasha tell Dawson the story of an actress who was murdered on the
soundstage they are filming on and that some say she still haunts the building. Todd: "This is what I get for
shooting on a bloody haunted soundstage the day before bloody Halloween." Dawson: "What do you mean haunted?"
Traditions - PARTIES:
Dawson pretty much plans Todd's big Halloween bash which they have on set between filming dates. Todd: "Boy, eh, how's
my party coming?" Dawson: "I'm pleased to announce the art department's turned stage 7 into a playground for the morally
impaired."
Traditions - GHOSTS:
Dawson and other crew members begin to see the dead actress Melanie Ray in the film dalies and around set.
Quip - Todd: "I love Halloween. My favorite holiday. Always has been." Dawson: "Yeah. Mine, too. Actually I'm
kinda famous for playing these elaborate pranks on my friends back home."
Costumes - Audrey and Pacey dress up as the ill fated couple Sid Vicous and Nancy Spungen. Audrey: "Sid! Ooh,
baby! You look awesome! But..." Pacey: "But what?" Audrey: "Well, don't shoot the messenger here, but if we're going
for authenticity, leather pants would really do the trick."
Quip - Pacey: "Sorry. I'm just not really a costume party kind of guy." Audrey: "Seem to love putting on that
little monkey suit of yours every morning."
Traditions - DECORATING:
The film set is turned into a Halloween playground filled with tombstones, skulls, demons, electric chairs, cob webs,
candles, coffins and lots of fog.
Traditions - MOVIES: Harley's dad tries to postpone their annual Halloween tradition of going to see a scary movie
together so he can go on a date. Harley: "No. You're foregoing tradition, our tradition. To go out with some skank."
Hetson: "A--she's not a bad kind of skank, and b--we'll go to the movies tomorrow night." Harley: "It's not the same!
We go to the movies on Halloween. We go see some scary old movie at the crest. It's what we do."
Costumes - Jen dresses up as a gothic angel.
Costumes - Jack dresses as a sexy vampire boy.
Costumes - Emma is either going for an 80's costume look or possibly Kelly Osbourne.
Costumes - Dawson is either dresses as a Reservoir Dog or a Man in Black.
Costumes - Natasha is dressed in a sexy catholic school girl uniform. Dawson: "Hey. You--you look amazing. I'm
sure you've probably heard that, like, 1,000 times." Natasha: "Yeah, I've gotten a couple marriage proposals and one
guy said he'd sign over his car if I slept with him, but... thanks, it never gets old."
Costumes - Todd is dressed as a preist.
Quip - Joey: "Well, I was going to take you trick or treating, but that was when I thought you were 5. So I was
thinking we could go to the movies or something. I heard you say something to your dad about wanting to see-" Harley:
"That sounds lame. I want to stay here."
Traditions - HAUNTED PLACES: Eddie suggests Joey and Harley check out a haunted house and they invite
him along. Eddie: "Hey, you know, I read about this haunted house in the paper today. It's supposed to be pretty scary."
Harley: "I love haunted houses."
Quip - C.J.: "You could have told me it was a costume party." Jen: "Oh, my god. I'm so sorry." David: "I feel
like such a dork."
Quip - Audrey: "Wow! I've died and gone to hell! Hail, Satan!"
Traditions - PRANKS:
Todd and Natasha go all out to give Dawson a good scare by making him believe he is seeing the ghost of Melanie Ray
around the set. As an added freak out, they also make him believe that the two of them have started a fling. Natasha:
"Happy Halloween, Dawson. We've had the immense pleasure of screwing with your mind this evening."
Other costumes seen through the episode include - devils, demons, reapers, lots of goth, vampires, witches,
angel, butterfly, fairy, french maid, bride, cowboy, cat, greaser, flapper and a pimp.
Jen: "I think that maybe the thing to do here, Jack, is to just crush from afar. That way there are no broken
hearts, there are no dashed dreams, there are no morning-after pills to contend with."
Jen: "Oh, my god! I am like flypaper for the homosexual community."
Pacey: "That's not dancing. That's cavorting."
Eddie: "You gave us quite a scare tonight, young lady."
Harley: "Sorry I was such an uber-bitch."
Okay, so I know it is supposed to be a cheesy movie, but come on.
Joey: "Shut up and make yourself useful. Now, if you were a bratty teenage girl, where would you disappear off to?"

Character: Costume - Dawson is dressed either as a Reservoir Dog or a Man in Black. Men in Black is the 1997 film about two agents (played by Will Smith
and Tommy Lee Jones) of a top secret organization who monitor and police the alien activity on Earth.
Episode: Scene - Fright Night is the Film Showing at the Theater
Todd: "Oh, excellent. I love Halloween. My favorite holiday. Always has been." Dawson: "Yeah. Mine, too. Actually
I'm kinda famous for playing these elaborate pranks on my friends back home." This is the first and last Halloween episode they ever did for Dawson's Creek, in season one they did a
scary themed episode for friday the 13th and where they established Dawson's penchant for pranks but they
never did another Halloween episode where they showcased his "infamous" pranking skills.
I have never in my life been to a haunted house where you can wander around aimlessly, touch the props
and have time to sit and talk.
Two of the girls who were seen a lot in the background at the set party are seen at the movie theater
ticket stand when Joey and Eddie are looking for Harley.
When it's finally revealed that Natasha was the one masquerading as Melanie Ray, she takes off the blonde
wig and her hair is down. If she had to keep taking down her pig tails each time she put on the wig (which she
would have had to because they wouldn't fit under it) there was feasibly no time for her to be back to
normal so quickly in between changes.
James Van Der Beek did an uncredited cameo in 2000's Scary Movie horror spoof for which he won an
MTV Movie Award for.
In 2002, Katie Holmes was in the mystery thriller, Abandon, in 1999 she was in the comedy thriller Teaching
Mrs. Tingle and in 1998 she was in the horror film Disturbing Behavior.
As mentioned before, Michelle Williams was in H20 but she was also in the sci-fi horror Species and in 1997
she was in a TV thriller, Killing Mr. Griffin.
Joshua Jackson is in 2005's horror thriller Cursed, in 2000 he was in the thriller The Skulls and in 1998 he
was in the horror film, Urban Legend.
As stated before, Kerr Smith was 2001's The Forsaken and he was also in 2000's horror thriller Final Destination.
Busy Phillips was in the drama thriller Mummy an' the Armadillo (2003).
Jensen Ackles, who played C.J., is in the 2005 horror movie, Devour.
Bianca Kajlich, who plays Natasha, was in 2002's Halloween: Resurrection.

This episode's orignal title was Halloweenie.
The editor is portrayed by the show's real life editor, Daniel Valverde.
Bianca Kajlich is not able to scream. Her screams had to be dubbed for her scenes in Halloween: Resurrection.
A cute little fact I thought you might like to know is that the literal translation of James Van Der Beek's dutch
last name means 'from the creek'.
This episode begins and ends with the same dialogue.
