****/**** Brilliant Halloween Special, Mocks both Religion & Politics!, 27 November 2007
Author: Roxy

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Three tremendous segments in this Halloween Special Episode. In the first part, Bart discovers he has an identical evil twin in the house attic. The second part has Lisa accidentally creating life and being declared God. Bart is declared Satan by the people created by Lisa. Its a sharp attack on religion that doesn't pull its punches.

The final segment is the best with space aliens Kang and Kodos kidnapping Clinton and Dole before the presidential election and taking their place.

There is a great line by Kang (who resembles Clinton) as he tells the crowd in an election debate "We must move forward... not backwards, not to the side, not forwards, but always whirling, whirling, whirling towards freedom."

This episode contains moments of classic horror, borrowing from films like 'Basketcase'. More importantly, its razor sharp satire singes religion and politics.

Overall: ****/**** Halloween special, terrific attack on Politics and Religion
