The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror Halloween Stories that are 5 stars Worthy

I wanted to write again about the Simpsons for quite some time. However, there are a lot of things to mention in such a long series. As such, I wanted to take an atomistic approach to rating this long series. That being the case, I will rate the Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror. Overall, those Halloween episodes are peachy. From the stories, there are a few that I liked a lot.

From the first Treehouse of Horror, I liked the Raven. It was a parody of "The Raven" poem by Edgard Allen Poe. It was a good introduction to the Simpsons series of horror parodies. I liked how Bart played the Raven. Homer was the speaker and Marge was Lenore. Her painting had a second part for her hair decoration. I thought it was cute that the only horror story that got to Homer, was the Raven.

Following, I liked Lisa's Nightmare, from the Treehouse of Horror II. That story was a parody of the Monkey's Paw. It is a classical tale about a paw that grants wishes. In both stories, the wishes had a way of turning up sour. This episode was consistent on that fact. The irony is that when Flanders wished for something, things turned out beautifully for him. Its funny cause Homer gave Flanders the Monkey's paw because he wanted him to squirm.

In the Treehouse of Horror V, I liked the Shinning Parody. There Mr. Burns asked the Simpsons to be house sitters. He also cut the TV and took all the booze. Like in the movie, Homer went nuts. At a certain point, he Hallucinated with Moe who told him to kill his family. They also did the whole writing in the wall thing. This time Homer wrote "No TV or Beer Make Homer go Crazy".

They also did the Ax thing and the red rum thing. Like in the movie, Marge fought off Homer with a Bat. Homer imitated well the crazy rantings of the father. Liza also picked up the butcher knife like the Shinning kid. When Homer was locked away, he was picked up by a lot of classical monsters. One was a mummy, the other was Dracula, a werewolf,  Jason  and lastly the guy with the pin face (from a horror movie whose name alludes me).

Oh, I forgot! Bart acted as the kid from the Shinning. Willy was the black guy from the movie who tried to save the family. This ending was just like in the movie. Except that the entire Simpson family got Frozen up together in the cold stone.

The next mini story that I liked was Nightmare on Evergreen Terrace. This one was part of the Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror VI. This one was a parody of a Nightmare on Elms street. Freddy Krueger was played by Groundskeeper Willy. He was the perfect Nutcase for this movie parody. The way he died was a bit off. However, like Freddy Krueger, Willy got burned to a crisp.

The dreams worked pretty well. I liked the way Martin died. I found it hilarious how his dead body was accidentally sent to classroom of the Kindergartens. I liked how Maggie was the one who saved the day. Its a bummer why Willy returned to the real world, when he was killed in the dream world.

The next one that I liked was "Hex and the City". Here Homer accidentally ruined the workplace of a gypsy. She in turn cursed Homer. He would bring suffering to all he loved. I thought it was hilarious how he missed Moe's death. He was inside his egg jar. As time passed, his family began to change. Marge turned into a blue furry, Maggie changed into a ladybug and Lisa became a centaur. Bart committed suicide because he could not live with his long neck.

Eventually, Homer got a leprechaun to fight the gypsy. I found it hilarious that the curse never got lifted. Even though, the gypsy had her happy ending. The problem was that Homer had to ask Bart for forgiveness. Yeah, he was not planning to do that anytime soon. If I remember correctly, this episode was from the Treehouse of Horror XXII.

The next mini story that I liked was The Day the Earth Looked Stupid. That one was from the Treehouse of Horror XXVII. This one was based on the Orson Welles reading of the World of the Wars. This episode is not that farfetched. The people back then really believed that they were invaded by aliens. The problem was that many people did not hear, or forgot the beginning disclaimer.

Plus, the play had the feel of an official announcement. Anyhow, Springfield's reaction was pretty much accurate. However, the thing of pretending to be animals was their own unique reaction to the problem. I thought it was funny when the aliens did attack. Plus, their final speech reminded the viewers of the American's war in Iraq. Well, those are all the Simpson episodes worth mentioning. I hope that you liked this the Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror review. 5 stars worthy.
