Charmed
“Ms. Hellfire,” Season 2, Episode 9 (Netflix)
Prue (Shannen Doherty) assumes the identity of an assassin for hire to find out who wants her dead (a demon who needs to kill 13 witches by you-know-when, of course). Naturally, this entails a slo-mo shot of the actress sauntering through a nightclub in black leather.
Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood
“Behind the Scenes in Make-Believe,” Season 7, Episode 8 (Amazon Prime Video)
Leave it to kindly kiddie host Fred Rogers to celebrate the birthday of his King Friday XIII puppet to sway his impressionable audience. “We thought, ‘Let’s start children out thinking Friday the 13th was a fun day,’” he explained in 1999. In this episode, Rogers, who voiced the royal character, appears alongside him.
Dawson’s Creek
“The Scare,” Season 1, Episode 11 (Amazon Prime Video, Hulu)
Practical joker Dawson (James Van Der Beek) targets platonic best friend Joey (Katie Holmes) on his favorite night, while “The Ladykiller” who’s on the loose has everyone on edge. Scariest sight of all? Scott Foley, then 26, as a high school jock wooing Michelle Williams’s Jen.
Rookie Blue
“Friday the 13th,” Season 4, Episode 7 (Amazon Video)
A skeleton is found in a ravine, and Dov (Gregory Smith) ends up with a witch’s love potion all over his shoes. Saturday can’t come fast enough at 15 Division.
