Although I have not seen any other Buffy episodes besides Halloween. I get the feeling that this is a top notch show. The episode is well written with very good acting and action.
From what I have read Joss Whedon the writer and director includes metaphors in all of his episodes. The Halloween episode is no exception. The episode is set during Halloween when the main characters get forced into walking kids around during Halloween. The characters have to wear costumes and the main character says that this is the one night you can become who you are not. This statement becomes all too real when Ethan the bad guy casts a spell that turns you into who you dress as. Eventually the characters turn back into themselves and realize how nice it is to just be yourself. This is most evident when Buffy talks to the guy she likes and he tells her that he likes her just the way she is and not as the person she was pretending to be. This can all be boiled down to be happy with who you are.
If this episode is any reflection of the rest of the episodes I would recommend you watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
