Quantum Leap, “The Boogieman” (season 3, episode 5)
Dr. Sam Beckett leaps into a horror novelist on Halloween, circa 1964—where not only does he encounter a budding author named “Steve King,” he also learns the actual Devil (taking the form of Al) is none too pleased with all the meddling he’s been doing across the time stream. As a bonus, check out the new Quantum Leap’s own Halloween episode from 2022: “O Ye of Little Faith” (season 1, episode 7), in which Dr. Ben Song has his own demonic encounter in the 1930s. (Both versions of the series are on Peacock)
