Last years Treehouse Of Horror was a big disappointment, it didn't feel like true horror the Simpsons used to deliver back in the golden years. The only thing that had to do with horror (and the most interesting) was the amazing intro by Guillermo Del Toro. The including shorts were pretty pointless and not terrifying at all (if you know what I mean). Now don't get me wrong I still enjoy the THOH episodes like everyone else does but that has got to be the most disappointing episodes that year.
This year this THOH actually was pretty good and finally took some materials that fitted pretty well to the Halloween days. But even though this worked alright it still isn't the most terrifying episode so far for those who haven't seen it yet but the good news is that the first two takes well on the theme of horror well not so much of the third.
School is Hell 7.5/10 It feels like it's been an eternity to wait for an episode like this, it simply showed the other side of Hell of the world were those who work at the planning sins. It was pretty fun to watch and sort of reminded me on a school work when we were supposed to come up with our own punishments and sins but this was much a bigger experience.
A Clockwork Yellow 8/10 I actually enjoyed this spoof of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange it gave an amazing presentation presentation to the characters and the relationships between Homer, Lenny, Carl and Moe (or Boe as he is called in this segment). Every second was just interesting to follow, but I especially enjoyed the moment where many of the different Kubrick films arrived in one scene.
The Others 4/10 To be honest I expected more to this segment since we were going to see the first generation of the Simpsons once again. But the whole segment felt only about the subject of death and become into ghosts which wasn't such a remarkable idea IMO. Though I liked it's last seconds were we got to see the Simpsons in many different forms from other TV shows or series and even they're previous forms. Although it wasn't God-awful but it really could have been something more.
Should you really see it? Well if you ask me it worked pretty well, but it's definitely not the strongest THOH episode so far but at least I'm happy it overcome from the laziness of the previous THOH.
