"Cape Feare" (originally titled "Sideshow Bob's Revenge") is the second episode in the fifth season of the American animated television series "The Simpsons". It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 7, 1993. The episode features the return of guest star Kelsey Grammer in his third major appearance as Sideshow Bob, who tries to kill Bart Simpson after getting out of jail, spoofing the 1962 film "Cape Fear" and its 1991 remake. Both films are based on John D. MacDonald's 1957 novel "The Executioners" and allude to other horror films such as "Psycho".
