Template:EpisodeHD "Treehouse of Horror XXII" is the third episode of the twenty-third season of The Simpsons. It first aired on October 30, 2011. The episode has a parody of the Dexter opening credits starring Ned Flanders. Aron Ralston guest starred as a 911 dispatcher and Jackie Mason reprised his role as Hyman Krustofsky in the episode.
Synopsis
In the spooky opener, Homer takes a dangerous dive into an isolated canyon on Candy Eating Peak, but when a crashing boulder traps his arm, he tries to bite off his arm. In “The Diving Bell and Butterball,” the first of three hair-raising Halloween tales, a venomous spider bite leaves Homer paralyzed, but when Lisa discovers Homer’s ability to communicate through natural gases, he is able to express his love for Marge. The killer spells continue in “Dial D for Diddly,” when Ned Flanders, devout preacher by day, transforms into a cold-blooded vigilante by night, when Homer pretends to be God to tell Ned to murder Homer's enemies. In the final terrifying tale, “In the Na’Vi,” Bart and Milhouse are assigned on a mission to access a sacred extract on a distant planet, Rigel 7 (the notable home of Kang and Kodos). They morph into the land’s indigenous one-eyed avatars, but when Bart finds love and an eternal mate abroad, he is caught in planet warfare.[1]
Plot
Opening sequence
On Halloween, the kids come back from Trick-or-Treating with a massive haul of sweets. Marge, as the Switch Witch, switched their sweets with vegetables and tells Homer to take the sweets to a drop off facility to send them to American soldiers. Homer goes against this and goes to Candy Eating Peak to eat them, when he falls into a canyon and gets pinned by a boulder, with the bag of sweets just out of reach. After calling 911, he decides 20 minutes is too long to wait without sweets and decides to gnaw through his arm to get free. After gnawing through the other arm and a leg, he manages to free himself and open the bag, to find that it is full of vegetables instead with the kids stuffing their faces with sweets at home.
Tie-in
Burger King released a series of 10 toys as a tie-in to the episode. The characters are: Homer, Mr. Burns, Maggie, Scratchy, Bart, Marge, Kang, Lisa, Comic Book Guy, Milhouse.[2][3]
