Alright, this one closes Monday night. I guess it’s no contest now which Treehouse of Horror episode as a WHOLE is the best episode…

The Shinning (5)  
vs Time & Punishment (5)

Nightmare Cafeteria (5)  
vs The FOX Censor (8)

If we were doing whole episodes I would’ve voted for five - little competition there, I think.  
But this tourney just got good and tough.

**Time and Punishment**

**Nightmare Cafeteria** kind of gets a free pass

What is The Fox Censor? I can’t seem to find anything about it on wiki.

Quoting from Wikipedia:

> [@](#):
>
> A Fox censor, sitting at his desk reading through the script and deleting things, proudly announces that thanks to his editing tonight’s Simpsons episode is rated TV-G. But as he says this, a hand with a sword appears out of the on-screen rating icon and stabs him in the back repeatedly, raising the rating with every stab. As he collapses dead onto the desk, blood pours down the front to reveal the title, “The Simpsons Halloween Special VIII”.
