Treehouse of Horror XXVIII

The intro starts with the citizens of Springfield being like candy, the first segment is a reference to The Exorcist after Maggie gets possesed by a statue, the second segment Coralisa which is a common reference to Coraline after Lisa goes to another dimension of his alternate family and the final segment called Mmm Homer after he gets his finger cutted he becomes a cannibal and makes a restaurant of himself.

This is definitely not the best Treehouse Of Horrors by far. I would actually put it on the lower end, but they're all so good. Here are the reviews for each part.

The Exor-Sis: This is the best one of the three and is funny and not to weird while still being wacky. 9/10

Carolina.. or IDK (The Caroline Parody): This one was just weird and stupid. 4/10

The Cannibal Homer One: This one was so gross and weird. It was AMAZING. Not as good as the Exor-Sis but still great. 7/10

I read the summary before watching and only 1 of the three segments interested me as it was clearly a parody of Coraline.

The episode began with a cgi opening I like the change of style and the fact that Bart was a butter finger was a cool reference to the old ads where Bart was their mascot for a while. However, none of the jokes worked for me.

Then there was some dumb Exorcist parody again not funny the most interesting part for me was that Lenny's voice sounded off I know Harry Shearer threatened to quit but I don't know if he actually did this may have been a replacement voice.

Then the Coraline segment which was the most disappointing. I like how the other world was in a different style it allowed it to be kind of close to a clay look I guess and was a cool way of making the Halloween episode stand out. They have had weird things that stood out since the earliest Halloween specials the devil and Homer Simpson had unique directing, The very first Treehouse of Horror had creative lighting, The Shinning was used to experiment with off- model cartoony facial expressions, etc. Unfortunately, this felt super rushed.

The other one Homer ate himself

It sucked

The most interesting part was that he cut off his finger and there was no blood- the old ones had tonnes of blood.

Yeah so overall no good jokes and some lame stories but some creative animation

Another dull, pointless episode... The third act just left a sour taste in my mouth - disturbing, for sure. And it takes a lot to disturb me...

Treehouse of Horror XXVIII is a terrific Simpsons episode with three very well developed segments and a plethora of brilliant moments. I can gladly say there is no bad segment this time around, the past few years there tends to be at least one bland one in the three, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of these. The Coraline parody was particularly ambitious, I loved the mesh of the two animation styles, it was a really joy to watch.

The weakest of the three was definitely Maggie getting possessed, while I did still have fun, it offered nothing new or original in terms of Exorcist parodies.

I also loved the third story, probably one of the weirdest THOH segments the show has ever done, as Homer takes up a new diet of eating himself. It is certainly not for the faint hearted, but I really admire how far hey went this season.

A very bold Treehouse. Fun, enjoyable, weird, and at times quite disgusting, Treehouse of Horror XXVIII was great and took some real risks.

Maggie gets possessed, Lisa discovers a portal to a new world, and Homer begins a strange new diet.
