Quote of the Day
“Hello, once again. As usual, I must warn you all that this year’s Halloween show is very, very scary. And those of you with young children may want to send them off to bed- . . . Oh, my, it seems the show is so scary, that Congress won’t even let us show it. Instead, they’ve suggested the 1947 classic Glen Ford movie, ‘200 Miles to Oregon’.” – Marge Simpson Happy 20th Anniversary to “Treehouse of Horror V”! Original airdate: 30 October 1994.

“This sandwich tastes so young and impudent. Seymour, what’s with the good grub?” – Mrs. Krabappel “Well, perhaps I ought to let you folks in on a secret. Do you remember me telling Jimbo Jones that I’d make something of him one day?” – Principal Skinner “Are you saying you killed Jimbo, processed his carcass, and served him for lunch? . . . Ha!” – Mrs. Krabappel This year’s Halloween special had three segments: one about a hellish version of Springfield Elementary, one about a Kubrick movie, and one about the Simpson family co-existing with different versions of itself.

Animation Alley: Treehouse of Horror V
(this episode was directed by Jim Reardon) I love the very few times the show utilizes live action, here where Marge discovers tonight’s episode was banned by Congress, and instead the classic film 200 Miles to Oregon. Funny how this movie is fake, while Paint Your Wagon turns out to be real. Anyway, no wraparounds anymore, we go to our title sequence, which has been getting more and more gruesome over time. You don’t see many cartoons where a boy chops the head off his school principal, who authorizes it with a gleeful thumbs up. The first segment is, of…

One Last Thing About Treehouse of Horror
“I believe I’ll start, as you’ve so often suggested, by eating your shorts.” – Principal Skinner Take a good, long look at the image above. It is one of the best examples of Point #3 – being funny and scary – from that rather sprawling post on Tuesday. Lunchlady Doris is absolutely covered in blood (children’s blood, at that) and has a look on her face that should be in the dictionary next to “maniacal”. When this happens, we know that she’s been literally butchering kids, and now she wants to do the same to Bart, Lisa and Milhouse. But…
