Praising newer episodes like this is always risky, as someone will jump into the comments to suggest we screwed up and wasted space on a “crappy modern episode.” The thing is, Halloween of Horror is really awesome. It’s the first (and so far only) time that the show has a down-to-earth, non-Tree House of Terror
The episode’s story – which revolves around Lisa getting scared of Halloween and Homer having to teach her how to deal with the fear during a home invasion – is also every classic Simpsons half a hour. If you haven’t seen an episode since season 12 or so, I highly recommend Halloween of Horror, especially if you love the spooky season.
