Treehouse of Horror - Synopsis

Treehouse of Horror - Opening Segment

Marge warns people about how bad Halloween is, and warns people not to watch the show.

Treehouse of Horror - Set-up

Homer eavesdrops as Bart and Lisa tell three scary stories in the treehouse.

Treehouse of Horror - Bad Dream House

A parody of The Amityvile Horror. Bart tells this story, in which the Simpsons move into a mansion which appears to be a haunted house. The house tells them to leave repeatedly, but the Simpsons do not listen. Lisa believes there is an evil presence in the house. At night, the house tells Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie to kill each other. Lisa discovers that the house was built on an ancient Indian burial ground. After this, Marge asks if there is some way they can live together with the house in peace. Unable to bear the thought of life with the Simpsons, the house destroys itself.

Treehouse of Horror - Hungry are the Damned

Bart tells this story as well. The Simpsons are grilling outside when they are abducted by Kang and Kodos. The family is treated very well and are fed many sumptuous meals; the aliens tell them that this is to prepare them for a magnificent feast on their behalf on Rigel 4. Lisa grows suspicious of the aliens' generous behavior and finds what appears to be a cookbook specifying how to prepare humans as food. The book is quite dusty, however, and eventually proves to be a guidebook on how to treat humans well. Kang and Kodos are appalled at Lisa's suspicion and her family's willingness to assume the worst, and return the Simpsons to Earth.

Treehouse of Horror - The Raven

Lisa reads The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe. In this parody, Bart is the raven, Homer is the poem's lead character, Lisa and Maggie are angels, and Marge appears as Lenore; James Earl Jones narrates. Apart from a brief interruption from Bart and an interjection from Homer, the poem is read (and acted out) verbatim, with some of the poem edited out for time.

At the end of the episode, Bart and Lisa go to bed peacefully. However, Homer is so frightened by The Raven that he is afraid to turn out the bedroom light.
