Later that night all 3 have nightmares. Lisa as nightmare, when family have go on Holiday, where Homer buys Monkey paw that grant 4 wishes as Lisa wish peach in world then Aliens are back again.

This absolutely hilarious, I could stop laughing in this story as Lisa wish Peace, Homer says Lisa that very selfish of you" classic line. Great story.

This was great spoof of Frankenstein and was was really funny.

Halloween Episode not to be missed 10 out 10

This is the seventh episode of the third season of the Simpsons and while it's still a strong episode, it could have been a stronger Halloween-central episode, just like Season 2's. But nonetheless despite the lack of scares, it was pretty funny. I liked Marge's introduction the best and the music used in the episode was pretty creepy.

In this episode, "Treehouse Of Horror 2," Homer, Lisa, and Bart eat too much Halloween candy which results in each of them having nightmares. Lisa has a nightmare involving a hand which grants wishes, Bart dreams about turning his father into a jack-in-the-box, and Homer dreams about Mr. Burns creating a robot.

Overall, this is a solid episode for the most part. I wanted to be scared a little bit more, but it does make up for it with the laughs and each segment was strong. I liked the hand episode the best since it seemed to have somewhat of a mystical feel. I rate this episode 8/10.

The episode begins with a scene that was unfortunately removed in the seasons that followed, where Marge emerges from red theater curtains, warning parents that the show they're about to watch isn't suitable for children.

The removal of this scene might have been due to the realization that the show was enjoyed by kids as well. However, it was a charming moment that helped set the stage and create a relaxed atmosphere of anticipation.

In these early Halloween episodes, it was revealed that these fantastical stories were, in fact, the characters' fantasies. In less fortunate times in the series or in less well-received classic episodes, which were, in fact, non-canonical episodes for storytelling, like episodes centered around tales, they often started with what seemed to be a normal episode about the Simpson family's problems, only to disappoint when it turned into a tale. This episode follows that pattern, leading to the omission of such introductions in future Halloween episodes.

However, this episode is not bad; in fact, it's excellent. Here are some details that make me see it this way:

Firstly, the music, the orchestral television music used in the early seasons of the series. I'm not sure if Alf Clausen was the regular composer at the time, but in the early seasons, the music resembled that of tension and horror films rather than being the kind of music you'd expect for a satirical comedy like The Simpsons.

This choice of music makes comical scenes stand out, and it was a quality that disappeared in the modern era. In fact, in the first six seasons of The Simpsons, it was a recurring feature and added to the enveloping sound quality.

This use of music allowed for the portrayal of comedic situations but with an eerie undertone due to the cinematic background music. For example, when the monkey paw closes a finger, a scene adapted in an original way since older TV shows didn't show the paw closing the fingers, you can hear the background music reacting negatively to this simple event.

In the second segment, something similar happens with the music. It imitates the style of music from The Twilight Zone, which it's parodying. It instrumentally mimics the music used in horror fiction from the 1950s and 1960s. Again, the music reacts the same way to simple events, such as Homer becoming a jack-in-the-box. It imitated the way the music reacted in the original episode, extending the last note of terror during the new body's swinging motion. There's also a percussion roll, popularly used in the 1950s and 1960s, as in the original episode when a child turned someone into a monster. It was an effort to parody and, as you can understand, it was virtuosic. One of the reasons for the series' decline is the disappearance of these details, as it's the details that make life interesting. People often don't pause to analyze them as I have just done, and that's why they struggle to understand why the series declined.

On the other hand, the third segment has a weaker story but is of normal quality. It's a parody of Frankenstein, but not exactly, as this time, it's about bringing a robot to life. However, the humor in this segment is excellent. This was a time when Mr. Burns was an evil old man, not insane, but an evil, out-of-touch person. This made it funnier, along with his way of speaking and reactions to unexpected events due to his outdated expectations regarding people's current behavior.

Expecting great episodes like "Who Shot Mr. Burns" and "The Springfield Files," well, they are, but... only two? In comparison to the great episodes of the early seasons that are more in number, like "Homer Alone," "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish," "Lisa's Pony," "Bart The Daredevil," "Stark Raving Dad," this very Halloween episode, "Brush With Greatness," "Homer's Odyssey," or in the fourth season, "Mr. Plow," etc.

The Treehouse of Horrors are probably my favorite type of episode. I think the writers and animators are freer to be a little more absurd. The three segments in this one feel much more complete than the first Treehouse of Horror; the framing device is more natural and less stilted than many of these episodes. But most of all this is just a really funny collection of horror stories.

The final segment is a better parody of Frankenstein than Young Frankenstein. And a board with a nail in it is the classic gag from Treehouses of Horror.

I Can understand that some folks like the absurd épisodes, but its not working on me. I barely smile.

I love the Simpsons when they tell a story, a clever one, or /and when they make me laugh. This one do neither of them. So I go for a 6/10 The first halloween épisode was way better.
