"Crybabies--religious types mostly," consider yourselves warned. "Treehouse of Horror III" is guaranteed to offend. It's not the best of The Simpsons' annual Halloween specials, but it does manage to scare up some classic moments. This episode is really in the Zone--as in Twilight--with "Clown Without Pity," in which a Krusty the Clown doll tries to kill Homer. "King Homer" recasts King Kong with Marge as the beauty and Homer as the apelike beast. Last, but certainly best, is "Dial 'Z' for Zombie," in which Bart unwittingly unleashes a reign of brain-eating zombie ("They prefer 'living impaired'") terror. "I thought dabbling in the black arts would be good for a chuckle," Bart repents. "How wrong I was." This video also contains "Treehouse of Horror V," a real keeper that, Marge warns us, "is so scary, Congress won't even let us show it." In the first segment, no TV and no beer make Homer go crazy in "The Shinning" ("You mean 'The Shining,'" Bart corrects. "Shh, you want to get sued?" he is reprimanded). The second segment, "Time and Punishment," takes its inspiration from a Ray Bradbury story, as Homer enters a time vortex and "alters the future in ways you can't even imagine" (Ned Flanders as "the unquestioned lord and master of the world"?). The tastiest item on the menu is "Nightmare Cafeteria," in which Principal Skinner and Lunchlady Doris cook up an unsavory solution to the school's overcrowding problem. --Donald Liebenson

Product Description
"TREEHOUSE OF HORROR III" Bart's a happy camper when he gets a talking Krusty doll - until it becomes "A Clown Without Pity." Then, it's off to Ape Island where Burns uses Marge to lure the giant people-gobbling gorilla, "King Homer," to Broadway. Finally, Bart decides to "Dial Z For Zombie" and casts a spell that turns all of Springfield into brain connoisseurs. Scrumpdillyumptious!

"TREEHOUSE OF HORROR V" "The Shinning" finds the Simpsons serving as caretakers of a mansion - but "no TV and no cable make Homer go crazy!" Next, Homer does some "Time And Punishment" when he alters history and faces Ned Flanders: Ruler Of The World! The last tale really "cooks" as Lisa and Bart discover their school's "Nightmare Cafeteria" is serving frightful food.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Simpsons? Great!, September 7, 2000

By	"rockingfish" (Syracuse, Ny) - See all my reviews

Please Note: I don't actually have the tape, but I have seen all of these episodes multiple times.

The Simpsons Halloween episodes have got to be some of the funniest Halloween specials ever on television. Though they have tapered off in the last few years, they are still great. I've already ordered my copy!
