Treehouse of Horror XXVIII

Intro: The Sweets Hereafter

Otherworldly sweets. The Simpsons family is on the plate, as part of the candy distributed on Halloween in the house. Bart , the Butterfinger bar, is afraid to be captured, Marge , the Mars bar , consoles him, saying that he is always the last, and Homer , the Oh Henry bar, says that even a box of stale raisins was taken in front of him. Someone takes Nelson as a Crunch bar and Kirk van Houten as a Turkish Taffy toffee. Meanwhile, Lisa , like an apple , complains that no one ever wants apples, as people are afraid that razor blades will be inside her. Marge reassures her, saying that people take them only when they are dipped in caramel, to the disgust of the apple. Sean takes Simpson's grandfather - Junior Mints sweets - after Homer stepped aside and ate their contents.

The next day, among the untouched sweets, the Simpsons remained. They later ended up on the top shelf when people cleaned decorations after Halloween. Along the way, they found a chocolate easter hare that tells them that they will be forgotten here forever. Seeing his discomfort when no one takes it, Homer begins to eat it. Marge tries to stop him, but he tells her that the chocolate does not feel anything, and continues to eat it, and the rest of the family joins when he eats the rabbit's mouth to shut him up. The camera pans over to the wall where “The Simpsons Easter Special” is first written (The Simpsons Easter Edition), but chocolate from a rabbit sprinkles everywhere, covering words, and dark chocolate that looks like blood spells “Treehouse” on top of it. of Horror XXVIII. "

The Exor-Sis

Exor sister. A statue of Pazuzu was excavated in a pre-Christian temple in northern Iraq and sent via Amazon to the Simpsons house (Homer accidentally ordered it, thinking that it says “pizza”). After Homer sings Maggie a very disturbing lullaby with glowing red eyes, the statue remains in the girl’s crib. Obsessed with the demon, Maggie appears during the cocktail party that Homer and Marge have downstairs. The demon kills the complaining Helen Lovejoy , and then locks everyone. Maggie later says that Dr. Hibbert is cheating on his wife and then kills him. Ned Flanders tells the Simpsons that Maggie needs a rite of exorcism , after which he is killed by beating and strangling a toy car. Soon after, an Irish priest arrives, who casts a spell that clears Maggie Pazuzu, but ends up demoning Bart, which he regrets with fear, declaring that Bart has the most disgusting soul he has ever seen, and " he is worse than David Schwimmer . "

Coralisa

Coralize. When Maggie is still recovering from Pazuzu, she begins to vomit violently around the dining table, eventually filling the kitchen with vomit. Tired of this, Lisa goes to her room. There, Snowflake V leads her through a secret tunnel that leads them to another version of the family, with pink buttons instead of eyes. Although the alternative family is like a dream, Lisa flees in horror to her world when she finds out that they want to sew buttons on her eyes so that she can stay with them forever. Lisa revises the proposal of an alternative family after Homer (from reality) killed her snake with a saxophone.

A few days later, the family finally realizes that Lisa has disappeared. Homer accepts this and says that Maggie gets Lisa's room and clothes, and Bart gets his sister's homework. Hearing this, Bart escapes through the door and finds himself in an alternate reality. After Marge follows her children, Homer follows the advice of Snezhinka V. However, his meeting with an alternative family leads him to kill the alternative Bart, while the alternative Homer injures himself with scissors, trying to avenge him. This infuriates the alternative Marge, and she turns into an eight- spider arachnid creature to attack Homer, who decides to take advantage of the situation to benefit himself: bringing the surviving members of the alternative family home to reality. Alternate Homer attends parent-teacher meetings, while Alternate Marge does housework and guards the house. Lisa accepts this result, arguing that it could be much worse.

MMM ... Homer

MMM ... Homer. Before the start of the series, Lisa warns the audience about the disgusting content of the next segment, stating: “What you are going to see is so disgusting that you will watch the Game of Thrones to calm down!”

Homer stays at home while the rest of the family goes on vacation with Patty and Selma . Homer feels good, but ultimately he runs out of food (only vegetables left). Fortunately, he finds a frozen hot dog . During the cooking process, Homer accidentally cuts off his finger, which falls on the grill. He prepares a finger and eats it. After Homer discovers how delicious it is, he loses interest in another meal when Ned invites him to dinner. Homer begins to cook parts of his body before his family returns. They are at a loss as to why Homer constantly wears oven mitts (to hide his severed fingers), is 20 pounds leaner and walks with a limp. One night, Marge discovers that Homer cannibalizes himself when he roasted his severed leg. When she took him to an addiction consultant for help, there Mario Batali, in search of new ingredients, convinces the dull Homer to cook the remaining parts of the body (by then only his head remained). This “dish” is sold at the Chez Homer Restaurant in the Simpsons House and several other restaurants throughout Springfield. Karl mentions that they also eat Barney Gumble , a comic book seller and horsemeat . In heaven, Homer comments on Jesus how he now shares with him the people who eat his body, as the inhabitants of Springfield have turned into cannibals ...
