Halloween is 51 days away, but there are already many great Simpsons items out. One is the Treehouse of Horror Fun-Filled Frightfest book, the third collection of Bongo THOH stories.

Finally, some very cool Simpsons costumes are now available in costume and hobby shops. You can find these at Disguise.com (search for "Simpsons").
