Great Halloween episodes of four TV shows

By TONY MARTIN

Some of our favorite TV shows do some of their best work around the holiday season. No, not Christmas or New Years, I am talking about Halloween here. So, let’s look at a few memorable Halloween Episodes from our favorite TV shows.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force – “Super Birthday Snake”

Meatwad gets a snake and the Snake eats him. Master Shake only makes things worse (as usual), and eventually we get zombies and murder on our hands. Just like every Aqua Teen episode, but still just as funny and enjoyable as we have come to expect.

The Simpsons – “Treehouse of Horror III”

By far, the best Simpsons Halloween episode. “Dial Z for Zombies” has to be one of the funniest parodies of zombie flicks that has ever seen the light. “King Homer” makes King Kong fun to watch, which was something Peter Jackson could not pull off.

The Venture Bros – “Love Bheits”

The Venture family, dressed in Star Wars themed costumes (except for Hank, dressed as Batman) get captured and held hostage. Dean, the other son, is dressed as Princess Leia and is forced into marriage under the presumption he is a woman. Hilarity ensues.

South Park – “Pink Eye”

One of the best early episodes of South Park was the Halloween special, where zombies invade the town, starting with Kenny (as if you didn’t see that one coming). Chef does a good “Thriller” rendition, and the crowd goes wild.
