{{TCsT|color=white|The frightfest begins with "Untitled Robot Parody" when [[Bart]] buys [[Lisa]] a knock-off of a [[Malibu Stacy]] convertible for [[Christmas]]. Later that night, the car morphs into a robot and instructs the other toys in Lisa's room to also transform. Soon, other giant robots appear and make Springfield the ultimate battleground. The scare-ific tricks continue in "How to Get Ahead in Dead-Vertising" when [[Homer]] accidentally kills [[Krusty]]. The clown's crooked lawyer enlists Homer to kill other celebrities so their likenesses can be exploited free-of-charge. For a fee, Homer goes on a killing spree and whacks [[Prince]], [[George Clooney]] and [[William Shatner]]. Meanwhile in heaven, Krusty convinces other dead celebrities to stage a revolt and descend upon Homer. In the final Halloween scare, "It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse," Lisa accompanies [[Milhouse]] to a pumpkin patch to await the appearance of the [[Grand Pumpkin]]. When he finally appears, the Grand Pumpkin goes on a rampage to avenge all pumpkins carved and tortured in the name of [[Halloween]].|7}}

Season Information
Original run: September 28, 2008 – May 17, 2009
No. of episodes: 21
Previous season: 19
Next season: 21
DVD boxset: The Complete Twentieth Season

The twentieth season began airing on September 28, 2008 with "Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes" and ended airing on May 17, 2009 with "Coming to Homerica". Al Jean is the showrunner of this season and previous seasons since Season 13. The season had officially been confirmed to air by the network in May, 2008.

Production on the season was delayed because of contract negotiations with the six main voice actors, but was resolved and the actors' salary was raised to $400,000 per episode. The delay in production has caused the planned 22 episodes to be shortened to 21. Voice actor Dan Castellaneta is credited as a consulting producer for the first time. The Simpsons Season 20 was released on DVD on January 12, 2010 to celebate its twenty years.
