[HMV]

I can tell the only reason these episodes are airing a week after Halloween is because of the MLB playoffs; at least, I think so...

 

[cbdrumergirl]

I'm sure Radcliffe had a blast doing his lines for the Twilight spoof. Apparently this is one of his favorite shows.

 

[petefossey]

That Office line would have been funnier if they hadn't done the entire opening spoof like that.

 

[i guess thats life.]

y know the intro to this episode was NOT bad
I thought it was another vague and predictable opening, but the zombie office gave me a chuckle. Off to an above average note so far

 

[shampoomaker]

They never fail with the Marge fanservice. Is that Hugh Laurie as Roger?

Oh, Maggie.

 

[Rick Bruiser]

I don't get the Clockwork Orange reference.
Then again, I never saw the movie.

You know, I didn't even realize this was a Treehouse episode. I missed the intro and saw Homer killing people. :sweat:

 

[chloa.phorm]

I thought the Master & Cadaver story was in pretty dramatic, with a great twist ending!

 

[Stup-a-fy]

That face he made when he revealed his fangs. Haha.

 

[MissMiller]

I randomly changed the channel to watch this, saw RPattz's face pasted on a kid's body, and he has Daniel Radcliffe's voice. Weird.

And oh god, The Room reference.

 

[Ninetree]

I missed some of the vamps on the street. I saw Chocula, Bram Stoker version, Boobarella, Blacula, and...don't know who else.

Al Jazeera. Good one.

 

[gmanmustang]

Nice parody of the Count from Sesame Street.

 

[and you are?]

Selene from Underworld was there too. I cheered, I'll admit.

 

[bren_jim]

I think Grandpa Munster was there.



Yeah, I gotta watch this again just for the scary names.

 

[Diwa]

Tuned in a few minutes late, too, but saw the whole ep. I love the "Start Over" feature!

Great Jumanji/Zathura vibe in the first segment.

Saw Yogi Bear walk through the woods in the "Tweenlight" segment. Recognized Count Chocula, Elvira (not "Booberella"), Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Count, and Grandpa Munster.

Saw the shark and thought they were going to spoof that other film where the diving couple gets left behind in shark-infested waters (title escapes me right now). Hey, Simpsons writers, this is your next "Treehouse of Horror" spoof idea for next season!

"I feel the change coming!" Milhouse "Hulking out" and turning into a circus poodle. lol

 

[..ss..ddfree]

the marge fanservice was a bit wow not over the top but really noticeable...I have a feeling some artists will use that motivation...

as a whole the treehouse of horror was mediocre at best =/ after a fun beginning

 

[okayplease]

Marge sure looked sexy in her black bikini. Too bad she didn;t wear it for the whole cruise.

I also liked the scene from the last story, where Lisa's new boyfriend and Lisa both express embarrassment over their parents. "We may be undead, but I die of embarrassment from my dad every night".

 

[darkrhetoric]

No offense, but this was not the best Treehouse of Horror. Hopefully, next year will have a better quality.

I think I also saw Nosferatu sitting at a table in the background.
