The celebration of Halloween in Star Trek is inconsistent, but some Starfleet officers keep up with the spooky Earth holiday.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Some people in Star Trek's future celebrate Halloween, but others have never even heard of the spooky holiday. Because of the many different civilizations and cultures represented within the United Federation of Planets, it would be impossible for Starfleet to acknowledge every holiday. By the 23rd and 24th centuries, many of the holidays celebrated on Earth today seem to have fallen out of favor.
Although some starships celebrate holidays like First Contact Day and Captain Picard Day, they do not often mention classic holidays like Halloween or Christmas. Star Trek: The Original Series did air a Halloween-themed episode in October of 1967, in which Captain James T. Kirk and the Enterprise crew find themselves on a mysterious and spooky planet. Although Kirk knows of Halloween, it does not appear to be a holiday that is widely celebrated by the humans of the 23rd century.
In the 24th century, however, Captain Jean-Luc Picard seems unaware of Halloween. In Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1, episode 12, "The Big Goodbye," Picard enters a 1940s detective story holodeck program wearing his Starfleet uniform. One of the holodeck characters remarks that Picard looks like he's "ready for Halloween," but Picard appears to be unfamiliar with the holiday.
Star Trek Has Done Many Creepy Episodes Perfect for Halloween Since TOS's "Catspaw," there have been many unsettling or downright scary Star Trek episodes that are perfect for Halloween. Various alien entities have been known to mess with the minds of Starfleet officers, causing them to question their own sanity, such as in TNG's "Night Terrors" or "Frame of Mind.
Although not specifically related to Halloween, Starfleet officers often dress up in various costumes and outfits, either to visit historical periods on the holodeck or to blend in with local cultures. While Halloween may not be widely celebrated by those in Starfleet or the Federation, some of the traditions associated with the holiday live on.
