The “Treehouse Of Horror XXIV” episode dives into three tales – “Oh The Places You’ll D’oh,” “Dead and Shoulders,” and “Freaks no Geeks.”

“Oh The Places You’ll D’oh”

“Oh The Places You’ll D’oh” is a spin on a “rhyming Dr. Seuss-ian tale.” But instead of “The Cat in The Hat,” Homer plays “The Fat in The Hat” and wreaks havoc on the poor town of Springfield.

“Dead and Shoulders”

“Dead and Shoulders” certainly isn’t a spin on the hair product “Head & Shoulders.” In this “spine-tingling” tale, Bart is involved in a horrifying kite accident … that leaves him beheaded. But Bart isn’t dead and gone. Instead his head is attached to Lisa’s body and the two siblings “must live together as one.”

“Freaks no Geeks”

The circus is coming to town in this “Treehouse of Horror XXIV” story. Set in Springfieldland in the 1930s, the Burnsum and Bailey Circus (Mr. Burns’ traveling circus) has stopped into town. Starring trapeze artist Marge and Strong Man Homer, the circus is anything but a joyous event when “circus freak Moe starts to make advances towards Marge.”
