    One of the few post-2000 episodes that's actually good.

    The 21st century has ruined The Simpsons - especially in the past two years. But this is one of the episodes of the new millennium that is actually worthy of the good old days. It had me in stitches from start to finish - the "Wiz Kids" section alone was ten times better than most full-length episodes. Whether you want killer houses, evil fortune tellers or magic schools, this Treehouse of Horror is more than likely to score a direct hit in the net of happiness. I have found that this is one of the few episodes of the 2000s that I have been able to let out a large satisfying laugh at - not just a mild chuckle or, even worse, a flat-faced look of pity. And there's also big celebrities voicing this. The vomiting "frog" prince in Wiz Kids was my favourite part. 8/10

    Does everybody wants to see more

    Well here we go the first the first segment Hex And The City after a gypsy puts a spell on Bart everything goes bad it is also reference to Sex And The City i may have sounded a bit inappropriate but let's continue, the second segment House Of Whacks which is a common reference to 2001 A Space Odyssey just like Treehouse Of Horror XXV after a talking thing gets revenge on Homer and the final segment called Wiz Kids which is a common reference to Harry Potter And The Sorcerer Stone after Bart goes to a wizard school and defeats Lord Voldemort aka Mr Burns and Slithers, also Edna Krabappel also wears costume from the Evil Queen from the 1937 movie Snowhite And The Seven Dwarfs, during the epilogue we can see Pierce, a leprechaun and a frog prince having a fruit basket while they drive their car.
