Spooktober: The Raven, a la The Simpsons (1990)

 From season 2 of The Simpsons:

The final segment of the "Treehouse of Horror" episode is a loose adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's legendary poem, The Raven. The segment begins with Lisa (Yeardley Smith) beginning to read before the scene melts into the poem itself, with Homer (Dan Castellaneta) in the role of the narrator (guest star James Earl Jones does most of the reading), and Bart (Nancy Cartwright) is the title bird.


Since Bart is a perpetual elementary school student in this series, who wants to think they could have him study the poem in class when he gets older?

Rating: B.
