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 was originally going to guest star in this episode, but never made the official airing. 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]
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]
Production
Aron Ralston was supposed to guest star as himself in the episode but he was cut for some reason. However, he was still credited as guest starring. Jackie Mason reprised his role as Hyman Krustofsky in the episode.
