Evil Grandpa no?

Why HOUSE OF EVIL? I would say Grandpa of evil, and in this role, Melvyn Douglas is awesome, in an unusual character for him. I don't remember having seen him like this. It is also rare to present a grandfather in such a way. It may be disturbing for very young audiences, for whom a grandpa must mean safety, security. That's precisely on this point that this episode is so interesting. A pure delight and my favourite so far in the series. Yes, even as an adult, an old timer, I was still a bit puzzled by this role. If it had been another character, not a grand father - nor a grand mother - for instance a mother in law, brother, son in law...I would not have been so moved.
