Halloween is the 13th episode of Season 2 of Beverly Hills, 90210.
Synopsis[]
A Halloween party is highlighted by Kelly's bewitching costume - and lowlighted by someone's reaction to it. Meanwhile, other twins give Brandon and Emily a scare; and David and Scott remember the "good old days."
Plot[]
Brenda, Dylan, Steve, Donna and Kelly attend a Halloween party. Donna dresses as a mermaid, but her fins inhibit dancing, walking, and trips to the bathroom. Kelly's seductive costume catches the eye of a college student dressed as a cowboy. She goes upstairs to talk with him, but becomes uncomfortable with his advances. The guy accuses her of leading him on and tries to rape her. Brenda and Donna enter in the nick of time. The guys escort the attempted rapist out at first, but when he says Kelly asked for it by dressing like a slut, Stave punches him out. Returning to the bedroom, Brenda thinks that it could be possible Kelly went overboard in her costume, but Steve clears the air. He says that while the last thing Kelly probably wants to see is a man, Steve says that no man is ever bamboozled into molesting a woman; he always has the choice to rape or not to rape. Brandon stays home to hand out candy (actually raisins), but Emily comes to the door with her niece and nephew. Brandon joins them for trick-or-treating, but he and Emily get caught up in their conversation and temporarily lose the kids. David blows off the party and finds Scott hiding out in the bushes. They reminisce about the old days while waiting for an egg fight that never materializes.

Quotes[]
- Yeah, you know I hate parties. You go there to socialise, end up standing around in a bunch of smoke and noise, screaming at people that you "like" and then you wanna leave but you can't cause you can't find the people you're supposed to drive home and, I don't drink and I dance like a white guy. But if you wanna go, maybe...?
- —Brandon to Emily

BEHIND THE SCENES
- Anthony Starke, who portrayed the rapist, stated he felt nauseous after one of the (intentionally very few) takes of the scene where his character tries to assault Kelly. Two years prior he had also played a bad guy in the James Bond film License to Kill, and he admitted that while that character did far more takes, it was easier to deal with. His brief role as the rapist affected him in a way he had not anticipated.[1]
- The Halloween party scenes were shot in the Higgins-Verbeck-Hirsch Mansion, situated in the Hancock Park neighbourhood of Beverly Hills
Locations[]
- THE PARTY HOUSE
The house is known as the Higgins-Verbeck-Hirsch Mansion and is located at 637 South Lucerne Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90005. It was designed by architect John C. Austin in 1902 and was originally situated on the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Rampart Boulevard. In 1924, it was moved to its current location. The mansion is 921,4 square metres and comprises 32 rooms.[2]
