If only all the more recent episodes were like this . Its been years since i watched The Simpsons . This feels like something that would have come in older seasons .This episode made me want to watch the show again . The first segment is a parody of the babadook . Not too familiar with that movie . It was alright . I like the last two segments more . A lot of great references to horror movies and anime . I'm only gonna talk about death tome . My favorite segment has got to be the death note parody death tome . I'm bit disappointed they didn't do a intro parodying the first death note opening . Fun fact this segment was animated by DR Movie who did the animation for the death note series . This episode parodies the first episode. Like Light Yagami Lisa sees the death note(called death tome in the parody) fall out of the sky . She grabs it from the ground and accidentally opens it seeing the rules of the death tome . She thinks its a joke but keeps it . Unlike the real death note you can't use the same cause of death . She witnesses a cat hostage situation with Snake on the news . She writes his name in the book and kills him with a heart attack. She freaks out and goes to her room feeling guilty for killing a man . But gets over it quickly saying he was a bad man and that killing him makes her a hero. Similar to the anime she has a evil look on her face with red eye effect . Like the original series Ryuk in this case a shinigami named Steve Johnson appears before her introducing himself as a shinigami a god of death . He compliments her saying blood thirsty vegetarians are rare freaking out Lisa .She apologizes for taking his book. He says now that she used the book she can keep it . Lisa next uses the book to murder Mr. Burns after he reveals his side company global-warm's plans to melt the ice caps saying homer's ugly will be submerged . Lisa argues with him saying millions of people will drown . He says that is true but he will be able to park his yacht outside his kitchen. Steve tells her that he thought she would struggle with killing Mr Burns . She tells him she will give him a dignified and humane murder She kills him writing in the book that he dies in his sleep . Thinking it will give him a humane death but he ends up dying a painful death falling face first onto Homer's grill . She justifies his murder saying even though it was a more cruel death . She saved the world . Steve tells her that it won't end with Mr. Burns that globo-warm have many loyal employees to continue his plans . So she goes on a killing spree killing employees in ridiculous ways . The next day on the news it is revealed that police have discovered that the unexplained deaths of global-warm's executives were murderers committed by a blood thirsty super killer. They know that thanks to a tip from a anonymous detective known only as "L". L reveals the super killer committed the murders by writing in some kind of supernatural book or perhaps tome. Unlike the anime LIsa isn't called Kira and L doesn't use a imposter . She tries to kill "L" by writing his name in the book as L and discovers she needs his full name . She easily discovers that L is Bart after recognizing the graffiti as his nickname EL Barto . Bart reveals himself to Lisa in a alley sitting in a position like L from the original series . He tells her it took her long enough. She asks him how he figured out she killed all those people . He figured it out by reading her diary . Lisa is shown to be no where as smart as Light . He calls her out for her murder spree . She tells it was not murder that it is a justice spree . Lisa tries to write his name in the book saying she won't let him stop her . She stops writing after Bart calls her out for trying to murder her own brother . She regrets it and betrays Steve making him think that she was gonna murder her own brother . She writes that Steve got crushed by space junk . It kills him . She thinks its over and ends up being turned into a Shimigami from using the book so much . This a reference to a fan theory that Light was reincarnated into the mysterious Shimigami that Ryuk was talking to about the events of the anime in the ova . 9/10.

All the segments were very well done! It was a nice change of pace to see Maggie as the main character in a segment and very suspenseful too! Though the ending was really heartwarming!

It was cool to see the characters in anime style in the Death Tome segment (though I do wish we had seen Maggie too). The ending was quite interesting with Lisa becoming death herself and wanting to kill Janie (though I feel that it would have made more since if it Terri and/or Sherri).

The last segment was in my opinion the best, it was neat to see a Simpsons theme park and that they were all a bunch of robots, (which may explain why they don't age). It was funny seeing the tourists push Homer in the bush to recreate to meme and then have Homer turn the tables on them. The ending was also heartwarming by having Marge say that they are real, and the twist at the end by having them end up at a Bob's Burger theme park was disturbing yet interesting!

1st segment, decent story, a little dark. The 2nd segment as an anime Simpsons episode was brilliant. If the voices weren't the Simpsons- you would think this was an authentic Japanese anime episode of Lupin or G-Force. Then the 3rd segment- wow. Full of Easter eggs for old school Simpson fans like me who have been doggin the show the last 20 years. This was totally a tribute to the fan. Very special episode. It was a lampoon on westworld from HBO and the Simpsons wake up as intellectual Property and try and blend in . Gag after gag I could not believe I was laughing out loud to the Simpsons again. Great job. Loved it.

The first short genuinely had me creeped out and a bit scared! That's a great start to an amazing episode. The animation is top tier animation, and the story and pacing all had a satisfying conclusion.

There is even a good taste of some classic call backs to our favorite episodes! From start to finish it truly feels like an episode that is not only fresh, but has a great sense of what we all love about the show.

I can already hear the many YouTubers that will break down the many Subtleties and deeper contributions this episode has to a series that needed a season like this.

In short, The Simpsons, they still got it! 🎃

In my opinion the first segment was very dark for the Simpsons it actually makes you fear for Maggie's safety. Marge was very scary in this segment. Now with that being said it's surprising they decided to use the babadook as an idea for this segment as it was very terrifying as movie. The second segment was amazingly drawn and was very good and was a very good take on death note. The third segment was very good as well and had a very good take on Westworld.

Overall I would say this year's tree house of horror was very good and had you on the edge of your seat (for the first segment).

Happy Halloween everyone.

There is a lot to explore here, and yes, the death note segment with lisa is interesting, but the other stories also have their good touch and this is one of the few redeemable episodes of the simpsons today. The truth is that the anime style in the segment is just as interesting and the other stories are not far behind. By the way, a big point for including three writers again for the episode. Anyway, I thought this episode was very nice to watch, I could say that it is one of the best little houses or even the best in the last 10 years, and maybe it is because I am a huge fan of the series, but I am liking what i see.

This is the best treehouse of horror episode since season 10 the first one is finally a genuine attempt to be scary with a cool story and spooky music. The death tone one has some incredible animation including character designs and backgrounds, the story is really interesting and my favourite segment since toy glory which also had great animation. The final episode, escape from Simpsons world has a really great premise and very entertaining with lots of great references from previous episodes and a brilliant ending with bob's burgers and the reveal of all the other tv show worlds. The king and kodos scenes were a good start and end to the treehouse of horror which actually made it feel like a treehouse of horror finally.

This year's Tree House of Horrors was less funny but more interesting than anything in recent seasons other than "A Serious Flanders" Fargo parody 2 parter from last year. We start off with a parody of The Babadook. The original Babadook was an Australian horror movie that used the metaphor of the Babadook to address grief and trauma. In the Simpsons version the monster is explicitly tied to Marge's resentment, which I'm always happy to see addressed. I would've liked to see more of the ire directed at Homer and Bart, to humorous or lethal effect, but narrowing the focus to Marge and Maggie was sweet. The second installment was a Death Note parody. It was encouraging to see the Simpsons putting their own spin on the concept, in contrast to last week's terrible It story that I wouldn't even call a parody. I particularly loved the animation by Dr Movie that also worked on the original Death Note, Naruto, and Bleach. Finally, we have a WestWorld parody that was both the funniest and most interesting story of the night. I don't want to spoil too much of it here, but I have to shout out the park map that included SpongeBob, Rick and Morty, and Bob's Burgers, among others. It was a fun Easter egg, and I enjoyed identifying all of them.

I was definitely not expecting this! I was blown away by their spoofing of Death Note. It was beautifully well done. I just wish they had made a whole episode about it, because it really looked like they were onto something. That whole dynamic could easily turn into a complete episode. Also, the animation was so well done I decided I'll watch it again multiple times.

The Westworld spoofing was also quite great. It was full of memorable moments from their history; a bit of a parody of themselves. I loved that final scene where they show all the other worlds. Just an incredible episode!! Must watch!
