THIS TREEHOUSE IS FULL OF HORROR IN THE ALL-NEW HALLOWEEN SPECIAL "
Treehouse of Horror" IDEA
Happy Old Year (obvious reference to phrase "Happy new year")
When Grampa Simpson sleeps in the New Year Eve
(sleeps before the clock rings midnight), he wakes up again in the same year. He writes a note to himself to the next December 31 and then takes Bart to bed with him. As a result, the boy also finds himself in a time loop and wants to use it.
Weight
Due to a curse, when Homer wanted to lose weight, the whole town (except for Homer himself) loses a kilogram every day
(the weight followed by fitness trackers). That leads the people resort to cannibalism…
Comments
The story is a reference to 2021 fantasy horror "
Old" (in Ukrainian it was translated as "Time"
I didn't see, just the trailer), when the residents of island got older by several years in an hour.
The title may seem clever, through is improvised while writing this. Another note: writing the post I wanted to name it after the
Goethe's Faust line "Wait the moment, you are beautiful" like "
Weight the Moment, You Are Beautiful" as I remembered from Ukrainian translation. However, finding in English it's "Beautiful moment, do not pass away!", I got back to simple one-word "Weight" ¯\_

Treehouse of Horror Past ("Days of Future Past" title pun)
All the forgotten characters of THOHs decide to take revenge on the Simpsons…

The title is also last minute. I remember I've dome something similar
(if not then, I'm dumb), but here it is limited with Treehouse of Horror franchise.
