Great episode
Other than the guest appearance of the horrendous Camille Grammer this is a brilliant episode. Niles, Martin, daphne, roz all play the Central part in making this one so funny. Not sure who's idea it was to add camilla as eve but I guess frasier had the last word about it as she doesn't fit in at all but none the less the rest of the cast are brilliant in this one.
Lots of laughs but for the one bimbo
Ha, loved this episode. Excellent plot and "miscommunications" between the characters. I could have easily given it a 10 if it weren't for the cameo by the bimbo in the lady godiva outfit. And no, that is not an eve outfit, or she would have been covering her bits with leaves. Sometimes producers should just put their foot down and not let the star insist his talentless bimbo trophy wife have a cameo. She was literally a huge blight on this otherwise flawless episode.

Great Timing/Great Writing
When Roz suspects she is pregnant, Frasier invites her to Niles' Halloween party to take her mind off the possibility. The part is an absolute hoot when Niles suspects that Daphne is the pregnant one and Frasier is the father. It is outrageous and hilarious. One of the best ever.
Frasier Was Never Funnier
It's not easy to select one episode of one of the most beloved television programs in history and single it out for any reason. But one might make an exception in this case as this "Halloween" episode is often listed as the funniest episode in the show's entire run.
Very few television episodes have ever created as great a long build up and then a spectacular, spam hitting the fan crescendo as Halloween does. Much like one of those incredible domino fall down videos online, it takes a long time to set it all up and only a fraction of the time to crash to the ground, but it's always worth it.
All that prevents this episode from earning a perfect '10' is the brutally amateur acting of "Eve" at the actual Halloween party, played by Kelsey Grammer's real-life wife at the time, Camille. She only has a couple of lines but they are painfully out of place and it is like watching a shower crooner on stage with Tony Bennet. It's something that just should not have been permitted to happen. But Hollywood nepotism is as hold as the TV business and it's not going to end anytime soon. It would have been far less painful for everyone had she merely been a party guest and never had to open her mouth.
In any case, this show has everything that made this series great. Every cast member is at the top of their game and David Hyde Pierce is especially great after he's had a couple of drinks at the party.
A must watch for fans of the show and newcomers alike!

Did you know
- TriviaThe woman Frasier hits on at Niles' library benefit (who came dressed as Eve) is played by Kelsey Grammer's real-life wife (now, ex-wife) Camille Grammer.
- GoofsAt the party, when Niles and Frasier are arguing and while Frasier is about to let the cat out of the bag about Roz, you can see Peri Gilpin at the top of the stairs pop out from behind a wall, quickly go back, then turn around and re-enter the scene, obviously mistiming her cue.
- Crazy creditsWhen the title "Frasier" (in yellow letters) and the usual silhouette of Seattle are on screen, a red, a yellow, and a blue helium balloon rise to the sky from behind the "buildings".
