Oh right, this was the last THoH that had something to tie the stories together between the segments.

Also, next one will be the last time we see the amusing tombstones.

"We have to kill the boy!"

"How'd you know he was a vampire?"

"HE'S A VAMPIRE? AAAHHHHHH"

"How did you know he's a vampire?"
"He's a vampire? AAAAH!"

"Uh dad, that's his crotch"

Treehouse V! The best!

"Usually the blood gets off at the second floor" See that Zambie Simpsons writers? That's how you parody the movie!

"You mean Shining?"
"Shh! You wanna get sued?!"

"No TV and no beer make Homer something something..."
"Go crazy?"
"DON'T MIND IF I DO!"

"The first non-Brazilian person to travel backwards through time"

"Stupid bug, you go squish now!"

"That can't change the future, right?"
*animal shrugs*

*achoo* "This is gonna cost me..."

*turns sound off & looks away* NOPE NOPE NOPE. Very few things creep me out, but this is one of them.

It always bugged me as a kid how the flat two-dimensional billboard featuring a giant Kent Brockman somehow becomes a fully three-dimensional monster.

Fun fact: The company that did the CGI for this segment would eventually do the animation for Shrek. It was by Pacific Data Images, who would later get bought by Dreamworks.

Man, imagine being around in 1995 and seeing this on TV. Mind-blowing stuff.
I was only 5 so I didn't see it...

I saw Tron.......I mean, not when it was in theaters since I wasn't born yet, but still....

Also, kind of sad that this CGI looks better than the one used in Simpsons: Road Rage....

Fun fact: The location that Homer was sent to was Venture Boulevard in Studio City, CA.

....no idea if it looks the same, considering it's been almost 20 years.

I do remember seeing it when I was really young and thought Homer being in the real world was the coolest sight. I also had no idea what an erotic cake was.

"I don't know, Bart. Something tells me Willie's still out there and that he could come back any time in any form and KILL us in ways we can't even imagine."

<flash forward 19 years to this season's THOH>

Wow, don't know if that was intentional or not, but didn't notice that connection that when watching THoH 25.

Took me years to get that "bottlefeed" joke.

This mirror joke has to be one of my THoH jokes.

Never got into this segment. I don't hate it by any means, but just not as good as the other two from this episode.

Wonder if Groening used this segment as inspiration for making Godfellas in Futurama later, which i guess was initially a Twilight Zone episode as well

"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos."

I think this was the year that introduced the TV ratings, hence the joke.

Fun fact: They actually had trouble with the censors getting that censors joke on the air. From the Simpsons Wiki:

The producers had trouble with the censors over several segments in this episode. The opening segment of the episode, which features Fox Censor the censor being stabbed to death and was pitched by David Mirkin, had a difficult time getting through the real life censors. They had issues with the size of the knife and the sound effects used. Originally Fox was stabbed with a dagger, but the censors found it too gruesome, but found the use of a sword acceptable, so it was used instead.

Another fact with the censors: They also had issues with Homer dancing naked on the altar in the church, so it was changed so that he was just dancing on the floor.

'Cause you mentioned David Mirkin... just a heads up that he came back to the show to write The Man Who Came to Be Dinner with Al Jean which airs right after New Year's.
Mirkin's only other writing credit in the show's history was Deep Space Homer.

Troy McClure was suppose to host the execution, but sadly, Phil Hartman passed away, so they had to use Ed McMahon.
