Here's more about it.

Why Halloween on Spooner Street remains the best Family Guy Halloween episode?

Halloween on Spooner Street sets the bar for the spooky holiday special episode of Family Guy. Episodes like 'Quagmire's Quagmire' and 'Must Love Dogs' do not follow the holiday special framework. 'Peternomal Activity', on the other hand, goes all in with its found footage horror parodies, similar to The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror format. Halloween on Spooner Street, which was released in 2010, perfectly blends the show's overall format with the spirit of the spooky season.

Halloween on Spooner Street chooses not to focus on parodying horror movies or series from the past. It sticks to the classic Family Guy formula. According to Movies Web, the episode was viewed by a whopping 7.97 million viewers. It has garnered 7.9 stars on IMDb with over 2000 votes.
