Armin Tamzarian, better known as Principal Seymour Skinner, is the main antagonist of "Nightmare Cafeteria", the third segment of The Simpsons Halloween special "Treehouse of Horror V".

He is the principal of the Springfield Elementary School much like his canon counterpart. However, after getting fed up with dealing with irresponsible and disobedient students, Skinner resolves to start cannibalizing the students in detention by turning them into food for him, the teachers and the rest of the students until they are also cooked.

Like his original counterpart, he was voiced by Harry Shearer.

His Evil Ranking

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?

• He put many children in detention for petty reasons, like putting together a paper airplane, with Skinner not caring about them all being cramped together and almost out of oxygen.
• After Jimbo Jones was smeared by the contents of Lunchlady Doris' pot and Skinner licked him off, he sent Jimbo into the kitchen to help Doris with the food, then murdered him, grinded him up, turned his remains into hamburgers and ate them together with the rest of the teachers.
• He punished Üter Zörker for "7 minutes a pound", then murdered him and turned his remains into sausages for the school children, including Bart and Lisa, to inadvertently eat, with him laughing while he accidentally told Bart and Lisa.
• He sent several children to "permanent punishment" and then caged them to eat them later, which is why the entire room is almost empty once Bart and Lisa return to school.
  • He also had several children playing out in the fields to fatten them up.
• He killed Willie the Groundskeeper with an axe to the back when he came to rescue Bart, Lisa and Milhouse.
• He prepared to eat Bart, Lisa and Milhouse while sadistically revealing his intention to devour Bart's pants first.
• He sent Bart, Lisa, and Milhouse to the shredder so he could grind them up, killing them and possibly eating their remains later.
• Unlike the original Principal Skinner, who is an occasional jerk but ultimately a well-intentioned school principal who only wants the best for Springfield Elementary, this version of Skinner is nothing more than a sadistic sociopath who eats children for fun.
• While he tried to stop Doris from making F-class meat, it's pragmatic so the school would not get shut down for being unethical.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?

• He is sometimes played for laughs, such as Jimbo muttering "great, now I have to work in the dark" while being murdered, him unintentionally telling Bart and Lisa that he ate Üter and laughing before saying "wait, scratch that one", him killing Willie with an axe as part of a running gag in the episode where Willie dies in all the segments in the same way, and him telling Bart he is going to enjoy eating his shorts.
