Halloween - Simpson style
From ABC News of 23 Oct 2006:
Quote:
'Simpsons' Halloween 'Horror'
It happens every year about now. "The Simpsons," that animated money-making satire on Fox TV, airs its "Treehouse of Horror" episode to coincide with Halloween — or at least as close to the holiday as possible, given the uncertainties of the World Series.
But this year the show is scheduled to air the first week in November, two days before the midterm congressional election, and it has caused more of a stir than usual.
A synopsis helps explain why.
The segment, titled "The Day the Earth Was Stupid," is a takeoff on Orson Welles' infamous 1938 radio broadcast, "The War of The Worlds."
Dig out your history books.
