Halloween of Horror is a fantastic Simpsons episode with a very well written storyline and loads of very funny scenes. It's surprising just how good this episode really was, I thought it was only being made so they could say they've done a canon Halloween episode, but they genuinely only used the occasion in order to set up the plot, which is beautiful, it's very simple but it never manages to become boring, it's thrilling, emotional and it has a great message conveyed, that we're never too old to be scared and that it's perfectly normal. The only thing I felt was missing from the plot was more interactions from secondary characters, sure they speak with Apu and Ned Flanders, there's also a great musical number, but other than that the Simpsons mostly only talk with the other Simpsons, it would have added to the humour to have a bit more from the likes of Moe or Krusty. Despite being both sweet and thrilling, the episode never loses its humour, it remains consistently funny throughout, many scenes had me in stitches, and I think those are the best episodes of any comedy series, the ones that manage to convey a message or have a lot of heart while still being hilarious, and the Simpsons have succeeded at this on many occasions. Sweet, funny and even heart stomping at times, Halloween of Horror is the Simpsons at their very finest.
