Wanna know what Halloween goodness the Simpsons are delivering us this year? Simpsons Channel gives us this:

Mr. and Mrs. Simpson - Homer and Marge in a Mr. and Mrs. Smith parody.
E.T. Go Home - Bart and Lisa try to help Kodos return to his home planet, or at least that's what Kodos wants them to think.
Heck House - when Bart and his friends go too far in playing pranks on Halloween, Flanders turns the church into a Hell House that's a real killer

I used to love their Halloween episodes. Back in the day, they were funny, and often one of the biggest highlists of their seasons. It really fell apart when they started airing them in November (the 4th, this year), and after that, the pacing of each story crumbled. Maybe they should make them hour-long specials?

And now, they are parodying things that aren't even horror/halloween themed. A spoof of Mr. and Mrs. Smith would be perfect fun, if it were another episode. Why not make fun of the movie Halloween? They haven't made fun of that series, as far as I can remember. They could Lisa being the babysitter who is taking care of Rodd and Todd. Bart can be the Michael Myers' character and Principle Skinner could have filled the Dr. Loomis role. Why not? They've made fun of Jason, Freddy, and Chucky.
