The official Ghostbusters YouTube channel is currently adding episodes each week from Season 1 of the show, including the iconic eighth episode, which premiered on November 1, 1986 and introduced the world to the pumpkin-headed villain Samhain.

In the episode, entitled “When Halloween Was Forever”, when ancient ruins from Ireland arrive in New York for examination, the evil spirit of Samhain is released, who declares that Halloween should last forever and calls forth an army of the night.
