Treehouse of horror V

Here’s the fifth Halloween Special which you can watch on this site

This episode takes us to a familiar story that we all know: The Shining, but with the Simpsons style. Homer and his family go to Mr Burns house for a couple of days because he’s going on a trip and they will be responsible for the house. Mr Burns decides to take two of the most precious things for Homer from the house. Any guess on what they are? If you were thinking of donuts, well, not this time! We are talking about beer and cable TV!

Even though some episodes lose the “Halloween” touch they still make references to uncommon things that can happen only on a Halloween night. This is the case of the express story of “Homer’s time machine”. He tries to fix a toaster but instead travels in time. There he finds his father who tells him he shouldn’t touch anything in order not to alter the present, Homer kills a mosquito and that’s when the problems begin: he keeps coming to the present and keeps on finding major differences from “his” present so keeps on going back to try to fix it!

The last story is about teachers: quite a nightmare huh? Bart, Lisa and some of their friends start noticing how their friends disappear and how the cafeteria has more and more “delicious” dishes…their friends! Picture this: that History teacher you hate… eating you in a hamburger? How disappointing! She finally beat you!

Not many Halloween topics this time, we hope this will change for the next episode.
