Description:
"Crybabies--religious types mostly," consider yourselves warned. "Treehouse of Horror III" is guaranteed to offend. It's not the best of The Simpsons' annual Halloween specials, but it does manage to scare up some classic moments. This episode is really in the Zone--as in Twilight--with "Clown Without Pity," in which a Krusty the Clown doll tries to kill Homer. "King Homer" recasts King Kong with Marge as the beauty and Homer as the apelike beast.

"Crybabies--religious types mostly," consider yourselves warned. "Treehouse of Horror III" is guaranteed to offend. It's not the best of The Simpsons' annual Halloween specials, but it does manage to scare up some classic moments. This episode is really in the Zone--as in Twilight--with "Clown Without Pity," in which a Krusty the Clown doll tries to kill Homer. "King Homer" recasts King Kong with Marge as the beauty and Homer as the apelike beast. Last, but certainly best, is "Dial 'Z' for Zombie," in which Bart unwittingly unleashes a reign of brain-eating zombie ("They prefer 'living impaired'") terror. "I thought dabbling in the black arts would be good for a chuckle," Bart repents. "How wrong I was." This video also contains "Treehouse of Horror V," a real keeper that, Marge warns us, "is so scary, Congress won't even let us show it." In the first segment, no TV and no beer make Homer go crazy in "The Shinning" ("You mean 'The Shining,'" Bart corrects. "Shh, you want to get sued?" he is reprimanded). The second segment, "Time and Punishment," takes its inspiration from a Ray Bradbury story, as Homer enters a time vortex and "alters the future in ways you can't even imagine" (Ned Flanders as "the unquestioned lord and master of the world"?). The tastiest item on the menu is "Nightmare Cafeteria," in which Principal Skinner and Lunchlady Doris cook up an unsavory solution to the school's overcrowding problem. --Donald Liebenson
