Trick or Treating with the Pritchetts

The Halloween Costume Contest
In "Halloween 2" (Season 3, Episode 6), the Dunphys, Pritchetts, and Delgado-Pritchetts square off in a fiercely competitive Halloween costume contest. Phil and Luke win over the judges with their hilarious "Chip and Dale" duo, while Claire and Haley’s "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" costumes prove to be less successful. However, the real winner of the night is Cam, who stuns everyone with his elaborate "Venus de Milo" masterpiece.
Monster Mash Masquerade
The Halloween fun continues in "Haunted House" (Season 4, Episode 6) when Jay hosts a spooky masquerade party at his home. The guests arrive in their most creative costumes, including Phil’s "Wolfman," Mitch’s "Dracula," and Gloria’s "Vampirella."
