Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror (2006) 12

Homer taxes God’s patience when tapped to become the world’s savior in Homer’s Ark!

Well, maybe.

The story may have been a dream. Much like the Bible, the end result is based on interpretation. However, the titular character is struck with God’s wrath for a fitting end to the tale.

Blood Curse of the Evil Faries! proves a lackluster story rooted in Homer’s child-like existence and disregard for anyone, but himself. Maggie must save the Simpsons, but leave the audience wanting more.

Groundskeeper Willie embraces a taboo love in Willie: Portrait of a Groundskeeper. With his usual disdain for platitudes beyond his, Homer destroys the partnership of human and bird only to suffer the same consequences when Willie serves up Marge for dinner.

Not as satisfying as years past, but another serviceable installment for the Halloween season.
