Ah the Halloween episode, each show usually has one and L&S is no different. But creatively combining the subject of "conquering your fears" with it though make this one stand out a bit more from the rest. Premise: Halloween has come to Kokoua Town and our favorite ohana is celebrating it as well. But an experiment that exploits fear is causing panic over the town. Can Lilo and Stitch overcome their innermost fears to capture it? While nothing special, I had to give prompts to Spooky. His powers were animated perfectly (love the way he scared Mertle and company) while also reviling what each character was afraid of (nice touch with Nani), plus also giving L&S a run for their money. Even nearly killed Stitch in one part. The overcoming the fear part was rather predictable and dare I say, a little corny but still sweet in itself though the climax more then made up for it. Never would've pegged Lilo a clown fearer though, huh. Also minor gripe, what was wrong with Lilo's first costume? Didn't seem all THAT extreme. Sheesh Moses just loves getting on Lilo's case doesn't he =P? Eh oh well it gave a nice lead in for the experiment hunt anyway (and probably a slight jab at Disney's Princesses). In any case love it or hate it, I say this was a fun holiday episode with our favorite Hawaiian duo.moreless
Men I luv this episode I luv Lilo and Stitch! I mean now the fears of human beings are featured isn't that great Lilo's head turned outside and Mertle got scared it just makes me thrilled trust me this Spooky experiment 300 is so cool! So cool and cute I wanna luv Lilo and Stitch!
a great episode if you can only see it once a year on halloween. i hate it when they do that to the viewers. same thing with the christmas episodes. they should show the episodes whenever they want and not just once a year. i hate to wait to see.moreless
one of the best where spooky shows you your greatest fears. love the ex wife of jumba we all have that fear in our hearts. pleakly is his mother. and lilo is going with cora bubbles the social worker. everyone has fears and spooky brings them out. he should work at the haunted house and then bring out there fears for money.
When Jumba is scratching his first costume, his belly pops out with his belly button showing, but when he changes into his shirt, it is removed.
Edit
Pleakley's mother is voiced by fellow Kids in the Hall veteran Scott Thompson. The Kids in the Hall were notable for playing cross gender roles, so Thompson's appearance as a female character is not only not surprising, but highly appropriate. He reprised the role in Episode 13 "Fibber".

B: Miscellaneous Notes
--> Jumba's ex-wife says to him "...until you are getting real job...." Hearing this dialogue, we can infer that genetic engineering is a science that either, pays low on planet Kweltekwan, is very outdated, or not well appreciated.

--> We learn Lilo is afraid of broccoli, clowns, and the scary house on the hill
--> The song Lilo and Stitch sing to cure their fear is the song Nani sung to Lilo in Lilo and Stitch, in the hammock
