Cultural References

Movie Moments
- Bart's nightmare is largely based from the "It's a Good Life" segment of The Twlight Zone Movie.
- During Lisa's nightmare, when the Simpsons are about to board the plane, the Moroccan police stop them by aiming pistols at them in the kneeling position, then lift up Homer's shirt to find smuggled items taped to his abdomen, parodying the opening scene of Midnight Express.
- The end is similar to the film, The Thing With Two Heads.
Trivia
The scene where Marge give her warning to the audience uses exactly the same scene from her warning in the first Treehouse of Horror, but with Marge given a different dialogue.
When Kang and Kodos' ship lands on the Statue of Jebediah Springfield, the statue's head falls off as the rest of the statue falls over, as a reference to The Telltale Head.
