Every year "The Simpsons" begins the new season with a fun Halloween special. This year, "Treehouse of Horror XIV" promises to be clever and funny.

Fans of Professor Frink will delight in "Frinkenstein" part of the Halloween trilogy. In a "Frankenstein" spoof, soon to be Nobel-prize-winning Professor Frink re-animates Professor Frink, Sr. for some gruesome swapping of body parts. Legendary comedian Jerry Lewis lends his voice to Professor Frink, Sr.

In "Reaper Madness" just about every movie about death gets skewered, including "Meet Joe Black" and "Final Destination." Death becomes Homer when our hero must learn to reap what he sows.

Finally "Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off" is a "Clockstoppers" spoof, starring Bart and Milhouse.

Jennifer Garner and boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya, playing themselves, also stir up tricks and treats in the annual "ghoultide" special airing Sunday, November 2 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FOX.
