The newest simpsons episode was a great halloween episode

In the world of the simpsons, halloween only takes place in the treehouse of horror episodes which is weird because they celebrate real holidays like V Day (I choo choo choose you) and fake ones like whacking day(oh whacking day oh whacking day) so this episode was a little different. Yes after all these years there's still something new in the simpsons.

It is an actual episode that takes place before and on halloween but it's not a treehouse of horror. It starts off with homer setting up an extravagant halloween display because apparently all the other houses on the block turn off the lights and skip halloween. There is a 4th wall breaking moment when homer chats with ned about the next treehouse of horror.

The skeletons are melted so the family heads to one of those temporary halloween stores which are branded pop up stores also apu is the owner and calls himself a-boo which actually sounds pretty cool. Homer in typical homer fashion gets 3 employees fired and they swear revenge on him.

Somehow the family has enough money to go to a halloween haunt theme park in the manner of knott's scary farm or six flags magic mountain, I say this because homer keeps bringing up how expensive tickets were. Lisa acts tough but she quickly gets scared and the park has to stop in order for staff to put a scared blanket on her. Sadly everything halloween related gets to her so homer is forced to take down all his decorations.

On halloween night the fired employees come to the simpson house to scare revenge them although only homer and lisa are home because bart,maggie and marge went to a different town where the houses actually give out candy. However there is a security guard that doesn't let them pass. Back at the house, homer and lisa hide out in the attic which is where she overcomes her fear and they use various christmas and thankgiving and halloween decorations to escape onto the roof where homer sets off fireworks. These alert the roaming costumed aldults(they come out onto the streets at night) and the ex exmployees get arrested
