Feeling like some Star Trek-adjacent goodness this Halloween? We got you covered.

It’s Halloween, which means it’s time for some Star Trek-laden goodness! We’ve talked about the creepiest, scariest, and all-around spookiest episodes that Trek has ever produced, so instead of making you read yet another list of the same 10-20 episodes that every website picks, we’re doing something different.

Instead of picking the same tedious and overdone episodes, we’re giving you Halloween suggestions with the flavor of Star Trek. Each film or television episode is either suspense-ladened to fit the Halloween atmosphere or a staunch Halloween special/film. So they’re all great for the Halloween season that is upon us finally.

Each film and show will also feature someone from Star Trek to some degree. In some cases it’s a minor guest star spot, in others they’re the focus. And it’s not always going to be a role that embodies their time on Star Trek. In fact, in some of the cases, they’re the villains of the showcase.

So we’re really coming on with a whole different vibe this Halloween season.

Now, if you’re looking for some more Star Trek X Halloween goodness, our very own Mike Poteet did his own twist on the classic Spooky Trek formula, and last season we looked at some of the most horrifying villains from across the classic Treks; The Original SeriesThe Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise.

So whatever your treat is for this season of frights and delights, we have something for you.
