The Simpsons - 24x02 - Treehouse of Horror XXIII

    Another Halloween anthology.  In the first story, Springfield's Supercollider creates a black hole.  Lisa takes it in, which eventually leads to the end of Springfield.  In the second story, the Simpsons are haunted by a ghost in a found-footage parody of Paranormal Activity.  The last story is a version of Back to the Future, where Bart prevents Homer and Marge from getting married, and she ends up with Artie Ziff.
    I was really happy with this episode.  Normally I have some reservations about the Halloween episodes, since they focus on ideas that are just too non-horror.  Despite that weakness, I liked this one.  The first story, even though it had a stronger sci-fi bent, it was fairly horrific.  Seeing things get sucked into non-existence was pretty dark, as well as Homer's hand getting warped.
    The second story, even though I haven't seen Paranormal Activity, was really funny.  When we see such short snippets of the Simpsons, it implies this bizarre family life that's even more hilarious than the longer gags.
    The third story is more firmly not a horror story, but it still has something that I'm a real sucker for - duplicates of people.  This isn't quite the same as Homer being cloned, but a collection of versions of Homer from different time periods is still a real joy to behold.
