Ah, close enough

Three comedy horror stories from The Simpsons.

This is a strong Halloween episode and the standout story for me is The Shining tribute. The concept of it being a lack of television and beer that drives Homer murderously insane is brilliant and there are a number of standout gags that work very well. My favourites include the opening journeys to the Overlook-type hotel, the moment Homer scares himself and Bart's shinning moments.

The other two parts are pretty good too, particularly the school of cannibalism, which is very dark in its humour and quite creepy and stomach churning at times.

Numerous characters are used well, particularly Homer, Groundskeeper Willy, Skinner and Krabapple.
