Episodes

Picture Season Episode number Episode name Reference
Treehouse of Horror IV promo.gif 5 86 "Treehouse of Horror IV" The third segment, ‘Bart Simpson’s Dracula’, is largely a parody of the 1992 film “Bram Stoker’s Dracula”, with Mr. Burns appearing dressed up as Dracula in that movie. Waylon Smithers plays the part of Dracula’s servant Renfield. The scenes where Dracula’s shadow are cast against the wall is a reference to a famous scene from the Dracula movie ‘Nosferatu’ (1922), as well as scenes in ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ where Dracula’s shadow is not in sync with his movements. Mr. Burns’ mansion is located in Pennsylvania, a pun on Dracula’s home province Transylvania in Romania. Grampa appears near the end and says: I'm a vampire and I've come to suck your blood, which is a standard way of imitating Béla Lugosi in the 1932 film Dracula, even though Lugosi never said any line remotedly close to this. It was derived from comedians imitating him this way.

Later in the episode a vampire neighborhood is shown, also named after the novel: Dracula-la Land. One of the vampires seen there is Dracula as he is portrayed in the 1992 film “Bram Stoker’s Dracula", as well as Count Orlok from the Dracula movie "Nosferatu" (1921).
25 532 "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" During the couch gag sequence Dracula can be seen among the monsters who chase after citizens, while in most horror movies it is the other way around. Among the characters in the field next to the Simpsons’ house we also spot Count Orlok from “Nosferatu”.
