Though to be fair, Living Doll comes up in lots of media. Around this time, Goosebumps was thinly veiling that they were doing this by making it a ventriloquist's dummy instead of a doll. And the reason is because dolls coming to life works as a horror element. Goosebumps found their character to be its most profitable monster.
I like the implication of Bart costume that he had seen A Clockwork Orange but Marge nor Homer havent (because lets be honest, Marge would never allowed Bart to dressed up as Alex)
Alot of these food preservatives etc that approved by the FDA are actually bad for you lol. Slightly toxic but if consumed enough throughout your lifetime can lead to issues for you later on

Dressing as a zombie was rather out-of-character for Ned Flanders. He wasn't even wearing his glasses! I wonder if the frogurt was what inspired the name of Google's former online shopping service Froogle?
Wasn't so much out of character as showing just how much his character has changed over the years. Used to be he was mainly about showing Homer up by being so much more competent and wealthy than him.

The most outrageous aspect of this clip is Flanders actually dressing up in a Halloween costume.
He WAS putting up Halloween decorations in the one where Marge becomes a cop.
Not really. The Flanders of season 1 to season 9 was different to what he became
The Frogurt's curse forces the Simpsons to never age and never be cancelled.
So the frogurt was cursed.
that's bad
That explains it. Those curses that takes years to show are the worst.

I like how the salesman gives the toy to him without any box but when homer gets the toy to bart, its inside a box
The toy really is cursed
Is that what inspired Mermaid Man's "Evil" catchphrase
Sadly no the original voice actor was supposed to say evil and his voice cracked and it sounded funny so they kept it in
I don’t remember laughing out loud at the simpsons in a long, long time.
"I'm Krusty the Clown and I love you very much". Love that Twilight Zone reference (Living Doll)
I think for a lot of people (me included) Simpsons Treehouse of Horror was a gateway to Twilight Zone given how often they reference it

1:59 Poor milhouse.
Scary stuff...
.. potassium benzoate.
That's Bad.
Can I Go Now
Potassium benzoate, the potassium salt of benzoic acid, is a food preservative that inhibits the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria.
Bart is dressed as the dude from clockwork orange.
How very inappropriate
Duh ?
No way
Captain Obvious strikes again.
Did I skiddly-dare ya?
Man, old school Flanders was something else.
I like how in a lot of Treehouse of Horror episodes, Abe is just inexplicably there
I love that shop owner and of all places to try, Homer goes there for a birthday present. He at least got some frogurt though!
the toppings contain potassium benzuate
Homer: "..."
thats bad
Can I abandon thread?
Benzoate*
Potassium is banana
"The government. I didn't earn it, I don't need it. But if they miss one payment, I'll raise hell!
🤣
"That doll is evil I tells ya. Evil! EEEEEVVVIIILLLLL!!!"

The way he says evil is hilarious
"The toppings contain potassium benzoate."
That's bad
............
Bart is definitely too young to have seen A Clockwork Orange.
261 likes, thats good
5 dislikes, thats bad
58 dislikes, that's cursed.
1:07 - Here you can see Homer freeze-frame at the edge of the screen
I really hope somebody got FIRED for THAT blunder.
What, are we supposed to believe Homer ran to the car but his shirt is still visible? I mean, come on!
Instead of Homer driving to a Toys R Us, he pops into this shop. Makes perfect sense 😂
This video is evil I tells ya. Evil! EEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIILLLLL!!!!
Gabriel Bird you say that about all the presents
...I just wanted attention...
you keep this up we'll put you in a home
Grandpa: "but you already did"
Thats what you say about all the videos!
That's bad.
You'd be surprised how many conversations you can fit "the frogurt is also cursed" into. I know because my dad manages on practically a daily basis
why didn't homer just go to a normal toy store
Free frogurt.
Also, would kinda ruin the plot.
most likely wanted to find something cheaper
Because then it wouldn't be funny
"House of Evil" we really need one of those in Ottawa
Homer: "I swear on my father's grave."
Abe: "Hey!"
“Can I go now?”
“Yes, you may”
“That’s good!”
Ahh yes I remember my dad going to the local house of evil for my birthday present
"too late"
Poor grampa
I died laughing when grandpa said "The Government". 😂😂
ngl if the House of Evil existed i would be a regular shopper
So Homer is Ceaser and Marge is Cleopatra. Nice history nod.
Bart dressed as the guy from Clockwork Orange is priceless
I had to look it up: Potassium benzoate is just an approved food preservative - E212. Technically it is slightly toxic but I wouldn't call it bad.
E212 is in a lot of stuff, really strange joke lol
Alot of these food preservatives etc that approved by the FDA are actually bad for you lol. Slightly toxic but if consumed enough throughout your lifetime can lead to issues for you later on
LMAO who threw the plate at Marge.
Lorenzo Herbert probably Nelson. Can’t say I blame him or whomever threw the plate.
It was an ashtray.
Makes me chuckle imagining grandpa calling all the presents evil.
*EEEEEEVIIIL!*
Listen to your elders... 😂
I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a Hellraiser or Gremlins reference, but I welcome both!!
People shit in Flanders yet he makes the coolest Halloween costume/entrance lol
"The frogurt is also CURSED!!!"
ah abe simpson you're the man
Who's letting Bart watch "A clockwork orange"
Before Flanders became Flandersed, he'd sometimes do cool things like that
I still find it annoying that our country has somehow universally decided to abbreviate it as "froyo" rather than "frogurt."
They predicted mermaid man most iconic catch phrase!
🎵Everybody loves a clown, so why don't you 🎵

Treehouse of Horror III was the last episode where the format was prefaced with the family telling scary stories.

1. Telling scary stories in the treehouse
2. Nightmares after eating too much candy before bed
3. Telling scary stories at a Halloween party
You know Ned would hate halloween in the new episodes
Um...bart should not have seen a clockwork orange at that age.
Marge: "Grampa, where'd you get all the money.
Grampa: "The government, I didn't earn it, I don't need it, but if they miss one payment I'll raise hell!
Love how Grampa admits he doesn't need the money but still likes to get it.
Homer bought the doll out of the box but magically came in the box when he gave it to Bart.
maybe the cashier gave him one that was boxed up off-screen. Homer was probably holding a display model only
@Lalla 7981 It's the Simpsons universe, not alot of things do make sense
Homer forgets it's Bart's birthday despite the banner saying "Happy Birthday Bart", the balloons and the presents? XD
RIP Milhouse.
