Treehouse of Horror III
<p>Homer's silhouette appears next to Alfred Hitchcock's iconic silhouette. He emerges out and warns viewers the following episode may scare certain viewers, especially Christian ones, an announcement mirroring what Marge did in the beginning of "<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Treehouse_of_Horror">Treehouse of Horror</a>"s I and II. He requests for the television to be turned off before daring viewers, imitating a chicken. The TV screen eventually switches off, however, Homer and Marge can still be heard if not seen. The episode pans to a cemetery and eventually to the Simpsons' house, with the family doing their couch gag as skeletons.</p><p>The Simpsons are having a Halloween party, and they tell scary stories. The Halloween costumes include Homer as Julius Caesar, Marge as an ancient Egyptian, most likely Cleopatra, Bart as Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange, Lisa as the Statue of Liberty, Milhouse as Radioactive Man, Martin as Calliope, Nelson as a pirate, Janey as a princess, Wendell as an astronaut, and Lewis as Frankenstein's Monster.</p>

Treehouse of Horror II
<p>In <strong>Treehouse of Horror II</strong>, the Simpsons face three terrifying tales:</p><p><strong>The Monkey's Paw:</strong> Mr. Burns gifts Homer a monkey's paw that grants wishes. Homer wishes for a turkey sandwich, which appears out of thin air, but quickly rots. Lisa wishes for world peace, leading to an alien invasion. Finally, Bart wishes for a million dollars, which arrives as a tax penalty for "Homicide via Monkey's Paw" after Homer is crushed by a falling piano.</p><p><strong>The Bart Zone:</strong> Bart develops psychic powers, able to control people and objects with his mind. He uses his powers for pranks, turning Homer into a jack-in-the-box and forcing the family to play endless games. Eventually, Bart's powers become uncontrollable, causing chaos in Springfield. He finally wishes for everything to go back to normal.</p><p><strong>If I Only Had a Brain:</strong> Mr. Burns removes Homer's brain and places it in a robot body to create the ultimate obedient worker. Homer-bot initially enjoys his newfound strength and lack of pain, but soon misses his family and the simple pleasures of life. He escapes Burns' control and wreaks havoc, eventually returning to his human body.</p>
