Send us a text Step onto Flight 2005 and relive a Halloween soaked in glitter, flip phones, and the TRL countdown.

Grey’s Anatomy made us feel medically fearless, Lost kept us guessing, and a packed slate of films—from Batman Begins and Goblet of Fire to The 40-Year-Old Virgin—pulled us into theat...
