This one's an extra special episode for any Gibson fans out there as the actor, who plays Hotch on Criminal Minds, will also be directing the spooky halloween treat.

As per the synopsis, the episode will focus on the disappearance of a boy in San Diego during Halloween, and his sudden reemergence after a year. Interestingly, this sets precedent for the BAU as another boy goes missing in a similar fashion while trick-or-treating. Travis will plays Jake McCauley, a friend of the missing boy.

In September, it was revealed that Gibson will be also be wearing the director's hat for one of the episodes. The official Twitter "set_report" account of Criminal Minds revealed that Thomas Gibson, who plays Hotch in the CBS procedural, will be directing an episode in season 10 of the show.

The preview clip shows a man dressed in costume -- a grim reaper like black garb paired with a skeletal painted mask, which is reminiscent of the killer in Scream series, shoving a boy into a "box" made of wood. David Rossi (Joe Mantegna) is seen investigating the case, the tag line for which runs: "to catch a halloween monster you need to think inside the box." Hotch, Cate Kallahan (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Jennifer Jareau (AJ Cook), and Dr. Spencer Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) are also seen in the video.

The episode will air on October 29 and 9 pm ET/PT.
