Lizzie McGuire's Halloween revenge prank was absolutely WILD… but did she take things WAY too far?! 🎃🧟‍♀️

This week on Friends of Disney, we're revisiting the classic Lizzie McGuire Halloween episode, “Night of the Day of the Dead,” as our Disney Channel Halloween marathon continues!

When Kate dismisses Miranda's Día de los Muertos traditions, Lizzie and her friends decide to teach her a lesson with an elaborate zombie-themed Halloween prank.

But did Kate deserve everything that happened to her?

We're breaking down the episode's surprisingly intense revenge plot, the early-2000s nostalgia, the friendship dynamics, and whether Disney Channel actually did justice to its Halloween and Día de los Muertos themes.

That’s So Raven gave us a Halloween episode about Raven and Chelsea… turning into cows?! 🐄🎃

This week on Friends of Disney, our Disney Channel Halloween marathon continues with That’s So Raven and its Halloween episode, “Don’t Have a Cow.”

And after watching it, we have one pretty major question:

What did any of this have to do with Halloween?!

Raven and Chelsea desperately want invitations to Alana's Halloween party, discover a mysterious spell book, accidentally begin turning into cows…and eventually we discover that almost the entire thing was one of Raven's visions.

Meanwhile, Cory just wants to go trick-or-treating without his dad.

And somehow THAT becomes the Halloween storyline we actually care about.

We break down the bizarre cow transformation, Chelsea's vegetarian storyline, Raven's unusually long vision, the spell book that doesn't really fit the rest of the show, Alana's incredibly underwhelming Halloween party, and why Cory's much simpler trick-or-treating story captures Halloween better than the main plot.

Plus, Megan attempts to understand That’s So Raven with almost no memory of the show, Jonell provides some much-needed Raven lore, we compare this episode to the JONAS Halloween episode, and we get completely distracted debating what actually makes a good Halloween party.

🐄 Why are Raven and Chelsea turning into cows?
🔮 Does the spell book even make sense in That’s So Raven?
🎃 Does this actually qualify as a good Halloween episode?
🍬 When do kids become “too old” to trick-or-treat with their parents?
👻 What makes a genuinely great Halloween party?
😂 And why is Megan SO confused by everything happening?

We wanted Disney Channel Halloween.

We got cows.

Was “Don’t Have a Cow” actually a good Halloween episode, or does Halloween just happen to be the day it takes place?
