"The Witches Are Out" is the first Halloween-themed episode of the ABC fantasy sitcom Bewitched, originally aired as the seventh episode of its first season.
Plot[]
Elderly witches Bertha and Mary are visiting Samantha. Sam's Aunt Clara, who's witchcraft is not as good as it used to be, then shows up. They're sad that the world still sees witches as ugly old hags. Sam thinks Darrin might be able to help them. Meanwhile, Darrin's latest client, Mr. Brinkman, wants to use a stereotypical ugly witch to promote his Halloween candy. When Sam sees some of Darrin's sketches of an ugly witch, she is understandably upset. Darrin suggests to Brinkman that he updates his campaign and use a beautiful witch. Brinkman is not impressed. Darrin tells Larry to put someone else on the account and he quits. Sam recruits Bertha, Mary and Clara to help get Darrin's job back. The foursome team up to give Brinkman a taste of his own medicine. Darrin gets back to work and Brinkman goes along with the updated campaign.
