Featured reviews
Season 4 did not start so well, the baddest start of the 4th first Season, This one is a 7/10 tops.
Nonsence but some laugh I love the show when its Funny or when the story is well written, here its neither but in the end the its till a 7/10 ,
This is one of my favourite Halloween specials as it has some of the most consistent humour.
The three shorts are all strong, with funniest for me being the zombie story that has certain punchlines and visuals that I never fail to make me laugh.
The movie tributes are great with the King Kong spoof being highlight due to its use of the characters and one exceptionally good line from Mr Smithers.
In this episode, "Treehouse of Horror III" Homer goes crazy when he buys an evil Krusty the Klown doll bent on killing him. Marge falls in love with a giant ape resembling Homer. Finally, Bart and Lisa raise the dead, thus creating havoc all over Springfield.
Overall, this is a very good episode. This may be my favorite Halloween episodes out of the first three. At least this time around, the pop culture spoofs were right on target. I cannot wait to see what Season 5 will bring for Halloween. I rate this episode 9/10.
