DYNs/etc. not already posted by anyone else (as far as I know)

...this was the first episode directed by David Silverman since season 7?

Among the Homer clones: -Homer with Henry Kissinger glasses from 1F08. (between these two there's a clone that appears to have no face) -King-size Homer from 3F05. -Peter Griffin from Family Guy. -Homer from the Tracey Ullman shorts offering frosty chocolate milkshakes, complete with old voice.

Marge's list of chores:

      CHORES
      ------
  • Change floodlight
  • Clean downsspouts
  • Write wedding thank you notes <-- her favourite
  • Mow lawn

Short review: best Halloween special in recent memory. As usual, I haven't seen any of the movies spoofed, but I still enjoyed all three segments, Send In The Clones being the best in years (this was quite long, it could have been the whole episode). The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms didn't take itself very seriously, so it was kinda silly but funny. I like that in small doses, and it was short (good joke about the most evil German of all time). The Island of Dr. Hibbert wasn't very long either, and it was little more than an excuse to show the different characters as animals. But it was funny anyway, especially in second viewing. Overall, it was very good and a welcome change for the recent trend of stinky Halloween specials. I still miss the spooky credits, though.
