Treehouse of Horror XIX is a fantastic Simpsons episode with three outstanding segments that are both dark and simply hilarious.It isn't the best Halloween special of the whole series (that without a doubt being Treehouse of Horror V),but it isn't far off it,I loved all the parodies in this episode,as well as the intro involving Homer trying to vote for Obama.The Transformers segment was fun but it was certainly the weakest part,however it got much better as we follow Homer being hired to kill celebrities,including dozens of fantastic impressions of well known icons by the series professional voice cast,and finally the best part,It's the Grand Pumpkin Milhouse,this was a very clever take on Its the Great Pumpkin,Charlie Brown and the Peanuts cartoons in general,including an evil talking pumpkin who had me in stitches for all of his scenes.There have been many great ones over the last twenty seasons,but Treehouse of Horror XIX stands out as one of the series finest Halloween specials in my personal opinion.
Homer struggles to let the voting machine allow him to vote for Barack Obama,all of Springfields gadgets come to life,Homer is hired to kill celebrities so they can be used for free advertisement and Milhouse spends his Halloween waiting for the Grand Pumpkin to turn up.
