Smarter in writing, affectionate to the Halloween theme, suitably creepy and the Doofenschmirtz subplot is so much better here. As said though, the better episode is "That's the Spirit".
Phineas and Ferb's gadgets are inventive and used to atmospheric effect, the boys' behaviour doesn't come over as too mean spirited either. It's a good thing that "The Curse of Candace" is done incredibly well everywhere else, being funny and suitably spooky. "The Curse of Candace" is let down a little by the Doofenschmirtz subplot in my view not being that inspired from doing little new with a standard formula and pretty dull, apart from some fun lines with Doofenschmirtz. Of the two, both are fabulous but the slight edge when it comes to consistency for example goes to "That's the Spirit". The Halloween/horror theme (a theme that 'Phineas and Ferb' excelled in whenever they did it, "The Monster of Phineas n Ferbenstein" is a strong example of this) was handled brilliantly in both episodes, especially "That's the Spirit". Really liked the concepts for both "That's the Spirit" and "The Curse of Candace" and neither disappointed. Admittedly the later episodes are not quite on the same level as the more creative earlier seasons, but 'Phineas and Ferb' at its weakest still managed generally to be better than a lot of animated shows recently at their best. Still do get a lot of pleasure out of watching re-runs of what was, when airing, one of the few shows on the Disney Channel regularly worth watching. 'Phineas and Ferb' was so good in helping me through many tough periods during its run.
