    I thought that this was a funny, brilliant, and creative episode of "Family Guy". I loved every minute of this episode and the writers made the plot well executed which makes me very happy. It's always been a tradition for Peter and his friends to have movie night at the Griffin's home but Cleveland told Peter that they moved it to Joe's house because Joe installed a home theater system. Peter wanted to top Joe so Peter wants to get a home theater system as well until Peter went digging in the backyard and found an Indian chief's skull which was buried in their backyard of the Indian burial ground. Ever since Peter found the Indian chief's skull, the Griffin's house has been haunted. Peter's face peeling off and has Hank Hill's face from "King of the Hill" was very funny. Ronald McDonald's brief cameo appearance was funny. Stewie getting sucked into the television was also very funny. There were a few more funny parts as well. The Griffin family getting back their home after Peter buried the Indian chief's skull was good also. Overall, an excellent episode of "Family Guy". 10/10moreless

    the griffin's house becomes haunted and stewie is sucked into the television. the family tries to get him out, and when they do, their house is destroyed. peter is the only one who can fix this. will the griffin's have their house back?

    great episode! the only thing stopping it from a perfect score is the last act, which i found to be kind of boring. but the rest of the episode was pretty funny and had an interesting plot which made me want to see what was happening next. So, overall, my grade for this episode is an A-moreless

  • An episode that had it all. Great comedy, a tiny bit of suspense and even tinier bit of Horror... What more could you ask for??

    After Joe builds a home theatre system, Peter tries to build a multiplex in his backyard just out of spite. While digging, Peter finds the skull of a dead Native American buried in the backyard. This resembles the haunted skeleton seen in "Ready, Willing, and Disabled". Brian urges him to put the skull back, but Peter decides to use it as a novelty (peeing in it, playing with it, etc).

    That night the Griffins start experiencing strange paranormal activity, such as Stewie talking to the TV static, the chairs and refrigerator being stacked upside down on the kitchen table, and Chris getting attacked by an evil tree before being saved by Herbert in the same fashion as Gandalf saves the rest of the Fellowship from the Balrog in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Lois is in denial (and Peter is oblivious) of the events that are happening, until Stewie gets sucked into his closet and disappears. "You shall not pass!"To find Stewie, the Griffins hire a spiritual medium to contact the other side, and learn that the entrance to spirit world is Stewie's closet, while the exit is Meg's ass. After they eventually rescue Stewie, the spirits ravage the Griffin house and suck it into their world. As the Griffins drive off, Peter dumps the native American skull in a garbage can.

    Now homeless, Peter and Lois try and find a way to get their house back, and learn the native American skull has to be put back in its resting place. After searching through the city dump, a garbage man tells them that the skull would be in the human remains bin, but it was cleaned out by Carrot Top for things to use as props. They go to Carrot Top's mansion and, after a chase through a hall of mirrors, they retrieve the skull and rebury it, thus getting back their house and life returning to normal.moreless
