As good as Halloween 5

Here come another 3 Halloween tales from The Simpsons

The First story is called Attack of the 50-Foot eyesores.

Homer goes to Lard Lad Donuts to get a "colossal doughnut." Upon realising that their colossal doughnuts are actually smaller than an ordinary one, he will get a colossal doughnut. That night, he steals the giant doughnut from the lard lad statue in front of the store. In a freak storm, Lard Lad and other giant advertising statues come to life to terrorise Springfield. Marge tells to give the Donut back and it be over, but it wasn't at all.

This okay story, I did have some of it funny but not all of it.

The next Nightmare on evergreen terrace Bart has a nightmare that Groundskeeper Willie is out to kill him. He is slashed with a rake, and the scratches are still on his body after he wakes up. When he goes to school he also find that half other kids were also attacked by Willie in their nightmares.

When Martin had filled test before time stated and teacher tells to sleep as he is get strangled to death by Willie in his dream. Bart and Lisa tell Marge about happen, Marge lets slip that got nothing to do with Groundskeepr Willie,T he Marge tells them the truth: Willie was set on fire in a furnace explosion and burned to death while the parents of the students did nothing. He told the parents he would get his revenge by killing the children in their dreams. Now Bart, Lisa and Maggie stay awake or die if they fall a sleep.

This fantastic spoof from A Nigthmare on elm street, I really like Santa little helper was talking in Barts dream was really funny.

Homer3 Marge is sister are coming dinner, most family hiding, even the animals are hiding underneath the rug, Homer goes be hide the bookcase only end in a third dimensional, Marge call everyone she could think of to help Homer but they useless. Homer makes a vortex that is sucking everything down and then Homer end up in our world.

I didn't really get story, I did't find that this funny, I did find the start of story but it not as good as other two stories
