While I’ve had my fair share of watching Nickelodeon, Disney Channel owned my entire childhood. I would spends hours watching my favorite shows, new episodes and re-runs. The best time of year was Halloween. The Halloween episodes are so iconic. I still try to watch them every year even though I’m an adult now. With Disney+ being accessible to most of us, it makes it easier to watch our favorite Halloween-themed episodes. I wanted to write out a list of as many episodes that I can.
Here is a list of iconic Disney Channel Halloween episodes.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (2005-2008)
Season 1, Episode 19: “Ghost of 613”
Premise
Everyone is convinced that there’s a ghost living in one of the suites at the hotel and Zack won’t stop playing pranks on everyone.
My Thoughts
This episode is my favorite out of all the Halloween episodes that Disney Channel has put out into the world. It’s one of my top favorite episodes from the show. I just rewatched it yesterday and it doesn’t fail to make me laugh even as an adult. It brings back so many memories.
Season 3, Episode 12: “Arwinstein”
Premise
Zack and Cody accidentally release a robot that resembles Arwin into the hotel. Meanwhile, London hosts a Halloween costume party.
My Thoughts
I love this episode. I definitely haven’t seen it as many times as I have seen Ghost of 613. Honestly, I sometimes forget that this episode exists. I guess it’s because Disney Channel has come out with so many Halloween episodes. It’s such a genius concept especially since Arwin would be the only person to create a robot of himself.
The Suite Life on Deck (2008-2011)
Season 3, Episode 11: “The Ghost and Mr. Martin”
Premise
When the S.S. Tipton docks in New Orleans, the spirit of a steamboat captain makes contact with Zack and in turn has Zack trying to solve the mystery of the sunken ship and the captain.

Premise
