Criminal Minds season 14 episode 5 preview: Prepare for ‘The Tall Man’

Next week, Criminal Minds season 14 episode 5 is going to deliver something that should send a chill down your spine. We’re getting here a story in “The Tall Man” that is airing on Halloween, and beyond that, is especially creepy. Matthew Gray Gubler is the director of the hour and typically, when that happens it means that there’s an especially notable episode coming. He really excels at creating unique visuals and ideas that test you as a viewer. He wants you to think about a lot of different things beyond just the case of the week for the BAU.

Below, the Criminal Minds season 14 episode 5 synopsis gives you a little more news regarding what’s ahead for some of these characters in this particular setting:

“The Tall Man” – The BAU investigates a spooky local ghost story of the “Tall Man” and the clues it provides when two people go missing in the woods of East Allegheny’s Dead Man’s Conservatory, and a third mysteriously surfaces the following day with limited details as to what happened to her friends. To assist with the case, JJ reluctantly returns to her hometown, triggering emotional flashbacks to age 11 and her older sister’s tragic death, on CRIMINAL MINDS, Wednesday, Oct. 31 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Series star Matthew Gray Gubler directed the episode.

Typically, we’d be a little bit worried about a show that is airing a new episode on Halloween, given that this is far from the perfect time to put something on the air with many families off doing other things. Yet, by the time that Criminal Minds is on the air most people should be done trick-or-treating outside. To go along with that, is there a really better show conceptually to watch than one like this? Maybe you can argue American Horror Story, but other than that this has to be at the top of the list.
