Trivia
- Seen among the crowd of Homer's clones are the following:
- Peter Griffin from Family Guy
- The original Homer from The Tracey Ullman Show (He says, "Let's all have some frosty chocolate milkshakes.")
- A smart Homer
- A Homer with no face
- An even fatter Homer
- This is the third Treehouse of Horror episode not to have the credits littered with "scary names" (the previous two were I and XII). This may have prompted some complaints from longtime fans, as the scary names were reinstated the following year.
- This is the first Halloween episode to have the name Treehouse of Horror.
- Bart, Homer and Maggie are each revealed as owning several guns.
- This episode is titled "Treehouse of Horror 13" as opposed to "Treehouse of Horror XIII".
Cultural Refrences
Send in the Clones
- The War Room is very similar to the one seen in the Stanley Kubrick film Dr. Strangelove (also seen in "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming") and one of the people in the room looks like George C. Scott who played General Buck Turgidson in the film.
The Island of Dr. Hibbert
- Dr. Hibbert's lab is called the "House of Pain", the same as Moreau's lab in the 1977 film adaption of The Island of Dr. Moreau.
- The music playing in the scene where Homer has been transformed into a walrus is reminiscent of the theme music from Fantasy Island.
Goofs
- In "The Island of Dr. Hibbert", Chief Wiggum throws his tattered pants into the fire, but in the next scene when Homer calls the human/animal creatures freaks, Wiggum is wearing the pants again.
Airings
Along with every other Treehouse of Horror episode up to XVI, this episode aired as part of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Mania.
