          Wait, this isn't Halloween.
          The Simpsons visit a mundane amusement park, the final ride takes them on a very strange journey, to the home world of Kang and Kodos.

          This definitely has the feel of one of the Halloween episodes, it's wonderfully zany and surreal. I loved the way the episode played out, the jokes, and the fact that it's just plain weird.

          You think you're in for a run of the mill episode, it takes a real turn for the weird.

          The animations are incredibly good. This came as an unexpected surprise, 8/10.
