Samantha is working on Halloween costumes for a UNICEF benefit. Endora is dismayed at Samantha for celebrating Halloween. Endora turns Darrin into a witch to get him to see the disrespect of witches on Halloween. After getting into a lot of awkard moments with his appearance, Darrin apologizes to Endora and she removes the spell.

NOTES: Filmed on September 11, 1969

In this episode, you can really see a major difference in the way Dick Sargent portrays Darrin compared to Dick York's Darrin just by the way Darrin copes with this latest spell. Dick York would be fuming and freaking out at his transformation! Sargent, on the other hand, is strangely relaxed and has a "been there, done that" attitude. It's almost like he doesn't care because he knows Endora's spells are only temporary.
Trivia: This is the last Halloween show. Dick carries the weight of this episode. Elizabeth isn't really given much to do, but she gets kudos for donning her flying suit.
Darrin checks out his warts in the mirror.
