Halloween is a wonderful holiday, but it does come with its unique dilemmas. "What am I going to wear this year?" And, "What candy am I going to eat first?"

Here are some Halloween promotional photos from classic shows, featuring pirates, devils, felines, Zorro, witches and other assorted ghoulies.
