10 spookiest Psych episodes to binge on Peacock
By Devin Shea
2. “This Episode Sucks,” S06E03
It took everything I had not to put this in the top spot. In fact, it WAS in the top spot and then I realized that this was just my personal favorite spooky Psych episode and not necessarily the BEST spooky Psych episode, if that makes sense. “This Episode Sucks” is an hour undead hilarity.
After his divorce, Det. Lassiter hasn’t really been dating, but things change when he’s sitting at a bar after work and this beautiful woman (Kristy Swanson) walks in and begins to flirt with Lassie in a big way. She’s wearing a distinct necklace that he comments on. She goes to the restroom and peaces out, leaving Lassie to wonder what he did wrong.
When a body, drained of his blood, is found with an identical necklace next to it, Lassie is on a mission to find the woman and prove her innocence (or guilt). Shawn and Gus are convinced that the perpetrator is a vampire, and engage in some cosplay to mark their argument.
How can this episode NOT be fantastic with an appearance by Corey Feldman and Swanson, the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer? This episode has some of the show’s funniest moments, all of which add up to one of the best episodes of the series. I bet you didn’t know you needed to see Shawn as Lestat and Gus as Blacula, but you really do.
