Featured review
Opening - A good parody to ''The Sweets Hereafter'' with some solid use of CGI. I like that they made Bart the Butterfinger candy in reference to his old commercial. I liked most of the jokes like Lisa's way of thinking why people don't want to eat apples on Halloween, Homer pus-hind Grampa to be taken by Shauna, and ''shutting up'' the chocolate rabbit by eating his mouth.
Exor-Sis - My favorite segment. I've always liked to see an evil baby parody being done on Maggie, this segment didn't disappoint me. I loved a lot of the jokes like Pazuzu's name stickies over Matt Groenings name, Maggie's toys freaking UT of the statue, Maggie impaling Helen's head from behind, her general use of powers where she moves objects around which prevented Homer from drinking liquid. Credits to William Friendkin who voiced the priest. Nice way to end the segment with Pazuzu being afraid to be inside Bart.
Cotalisa - Another good parody to Caline which can get rather unsettling at times. While being lighter on jokes I like how they did the CGI with the alternate universe family. What I probably liked most is Snowballs talking role which brought some good jokes with it. The plot had potential to be great but at the end it got kinda rushed with Homer killing half of the other family and bringing over the survivors to his universe as new family members. I expected AU Marge to do something freaking in her spider form, turns out she only gets better at doing house work.
Mmm... Homer - A segment where Homer's gluttony actually takes a hold over himself... now that's something the show had to have. This also turned out to be the most disturbing segment to me as self-inflicted body horror is what frightens me the most. I was actually eating myself while watching and I had to pause several times just because I was starting to feel unwell. After re-watching it got a lot better and there are some good jokes to it. Apparently Ned has a wife in this segment who was absent? It had a good ending with Homer's meat being distributed to his own new restaurant and fast food chain.
The segments had some good pacing with little to no pointless filler. The only gag I hated was Maggie vomiting in ''Cotalisa'' which is both pointless and dragged on to much. It felt very FG-esquire which doesn't belong in this show. I do like how they continued the story from the first segment to the second at the beginning, this could've been a new gimmick where all 3 segments are somewhat connected to each other where they each happen on a different day. A lot of great use of CGI has been used which seems unusual for a THoH to use it so much. And unlike a lot of other THoH, this one was actually scary and unsettling.
