![]() ![]() To paint you a picture: Mitchell and Cam are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Gloria and Jay are Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, Claire and Phil are a spider and her trapped fly, and the kids are a hodgepodge of half-assed young adult costumes that fall apart by the end of the grief-stricken evening - most notably, Alex is a convincing RBG for roughly one scene. Luckily, The Great Pumpkin does end up saving the day, and makes this episode one that's still worth watching - even without the great costumes.ĭressed in the best costume lineup Modern Family has ever accomplished, the Dunphy-Pritchett family must grapple with the death of Mitchell and Claire’s mom, DeDe.

In fact, the only Dunphy-Pritchett family members we get to see dress up are Claire in what is presumably Gloria’s hand-me-down Wonder Woman outfit, and precious Joe as a fed-up Zeus. Meanwhile, a delayed kitchen renovation is haunting Cam and Mitchell, who sadly skip the costumes this year. The kids are all off doing completely non-Halloween-related stuff, Phil fails to trojan-horse a pumpkin, and even Claire’s office isn't interested in the horde of zombies she hired to help celebrate. ![]() At least, that’s how Phil and Claire feel in one of the saddest Modern Family Halloween episodes (second only of course to the one featuring a literal death in the family).
