Boxed Set Re-creates Favorite Episode
In "The Island of Dr. Hibbert" (Treehouse of Horror XIII), the Simpsons visit Dr. Hibbert's vacation island resort. Homer discovers that something creepy is going on - Dr. Hibbert has transformed his guests into slovenly, marauding manimals and prowly, voracious invertibroads. Homer vows to fight back with all of his might.
