“Treehouse of Horror XXVIII.” I remember watching, and reviewing, the very first “Treehouse of Horror,” back in 1990. Tonight we have edition number 28 – or, in Simpsons parlance, XXVIII – and these anything-goes Halloween treats haven’t lost a step, or a trick. Tonight’s trilogy of tales takes aim, at long last, at The Exorcist, with baby Maggie being possessed. Other stories have Lisa finding an alternate world inspired by the movie version of Coraline, and Homer discovering a new favorite food: himself. One sample Homer delicacy: Pastra-Me. Well done, once again, Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and company! For a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes.
