Short on time, so this'll be short
I've never been a big Halloween guy, or for that matter, a big participator in holidays. The effort to think up a costume and apply it is just too much for a single day. I do, however, love to see what people can come up with. Modern Family delivers on "Halloween," creating an episode which has the entire family together on Halloween and several intersecting, charming plots.
The best moments of the show are when the various storylines come together at the same time, resulting in a climax on epic proportions which quickly spirals out of control. That's exactly what happens, and everyone yells at each other.Gloria's English boils over, Cam continues on his Halloween story tirade, the entire haunted house falls apart, and Claire runs out in near tears. Of course, everyone realizes they shouldn't get caught up in meaningless stories and feelings and the episode ends on a happy note.
Score: 9.2/10
