The best Simpsons Halloween

This time Homer is telling us to put kids away and tells to turn off and then do turn off after start to call everyone chicken.

The Simpson's are having a Halloween party and they are all telling scary story's.

Lisa tells a story about Clown without pity Homer buys a Krusty clown the doll for Bart birthday,Bart love the Toy is nice toy but when Homer is alone with doll, the dolls is going to kill homer, As the family thinks Homer gone mad

This was great spoof Living doll in the Twilight Zone, it was really funny.

Then Grampa tells story that set 1930 where Mr burns and Smithers set of to find the monster ape King Homer, then they also take Marge and they did get King Homer for a Freakshow as King Homer breaks free crabs Marge from window and tries to climb up building only to get no were and then Marge end up Mary king Homer.

It was really funny parody of King Kong.

Then Bart tells a tale of the damned, Bart find a book in library that explains how to bring the dead back to life, He tries to bring Lisa dead cat back or bring back the dead, are looking for new human brains.

This is a fantastic spoof of The Night of the living dead. So many great jokes

Lisa: we did something really bad Homer: Did you break the car Lisa and Bart : no Homer: Do you raise the dead Both Lisa and Bart: Yes Homer: but the car okay.

Bart: Dad, you shot the zombie Flanders Homer: He was Zombie?

The one best spoof ever made, great Hallowen show 10 OUT 10
