THE SIMPSONS Deep Dive 19: Treehouse of Horrors

We're celebrating Christmas - ahem, Halloween - in July this week by covering two of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Halloween classics, "Treehouse of Horror V" (Season 6, Episode 6) and "Treehouse of Horror VII" (season 8, episode 1). We see Simpsons parody at its best; discuss how the Shinning reflects the classic movie The Shining more than the book; and meet aliens Kang and Kodos as they cause havoc, including with the 1996 presidential election.  Historical Highlights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_United_States_presidential_election https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-five_Theses
