    This episode, while just a little farfetched, worked very well and was very entertaining. A great Halloween episode. From the opening scene until the very end, the viewer's attenetion is held and doesn't let up. The story in this episode is very well written. I especially liked how both stories reached a plausible and satisfying conclusion which made this episode all the more enjoyable. The viewer also gets a little insite into Mac's 333 calls which is also a high point. In terms of a Halloween themed episode, CSI: NY succeeded where CSI: Miami failed.moreless

    Danny and Lindsey investigate the murder of an entire family in a supposedly haunted house in amityville. Mac and Stella investigate the death of a man who rose from the dead.
    This episode isn't supposed to be anything but a bit of fun and thats what it is. The opening was very entertaining with the spooky graveyard scene and the man bursting out of the coffin. Another great scene was when the old woman jumped out at lindsey in the dark hallway. Generally just a bit of Horror themed fun this episode certainly kept me entertained from start to finish. Happy Halloween from CSINY!moreless

    I have mixed feelings about this episode. I liked one of the cases and hated the other. The case where the dead man "came back to life" and then died again was stupid. The only thing I liked about it was that Mac saw teh voo-doo lady and she had the 333 and 666 on her eye lids. The other case was that a whole family was murdered in a "haunted house." It just turned out that a young man killed them when they came home early. That was really creepy. Overall, this episode had one interesting case and one stupid case.moreless

    It was great to shown a medical "zombie", also it showed that Mac's stocker is MIA; they should solve that issue regarding Mac's stocker........also, they must show anything regarding Lindsay and Danni relatonship. Also, they must show what is happening in Stella's personal life.......I think this is a very good show, it teach how NY city is. Mac should return to the UK to find his ex girlfriend....they made a good couple, also Lindsay and Danni, they should explode that relationship......I think fans will love it........Don is very friendly to the CSI team, and they should give Don a promotion to Captain or something, he is the "only one" detective that works on the NYPDmoreless

    This is definitely one of the weirdest episodes out season 4 that I've seen. Of course the highlight of this episode to all of the fans of the romance between Danny and Lindsay is where Danny calls Lindsay honey. This season they are trying to keep it on a low keep the relationship between Messer and Monroe. To me it's building up to something, but who knows. And alot of people are critizing on the address of the house in Amityville NY. You have to remember they only did a reference to movie since this was a halloween episode. Just because the address number in the movie was only 3 digits. This house isn't located in that state. This house is located in New York. So just the fact that the number was three digits, just points out that the idea came from the movie. Just like Lindsay stated like in the movie.....in the movie the boy killed his entire family. In this episode the father killed himself and the boy accidently killed his little sister, there are huge differences between this episode and the show Amityville Horror. God forbid they make an episode that makes a reference to a movie and not have it be word for word.moreless

    • Goof: When Danny and Lindsay enter the house in Amityville, Danny lays down a series of acrylic step plates presumably to preserve the crime scene. However, when they first arrive at the location, the sheriff walks out of the front door of the house, which indicates that the local law enforcement has already contaminated the crime scene. In a later scene, Lindsay is alone in the main hallway of the house and is attacked by the old woman. There are no step plates in the scene even though the bodies of the murdered family are still laying in the hall. Edit
    • The blind woman tells Mac that he is cursed and lays out three Tarot cards: the Tower, the Hanged Man and the Devil. The Tower stands for death, chaos, ruin and also revelation of the hidden truth. The Devil stands for lack of faith. The Hanged Man symbolizes sacrifice. Josephine tells Mac that 333, the Devil's son, acts in response to the sins of our youth. Apparently, Mac keeps a secret that is connected to something that happened to him in his youth, some kind of sin from his past that is buried and struggling to come to light. Edit

    • One crime in this episode is set in a spooky old house in Amityville, New York, best known for The Amityville Horror. The real-life story, on which the films are based, claims the house was haunted because of an earlier killing spree, when Ronald DeFeo, Jr. shot six members of his family to death. Edit
