New Episode: Treehouse Of Horror XXII

The time has come! After being on break for the majority of October, The Simpsons returns this Sunday with the annual Halloween episode ‘Treehouse of Horror XXII’.

Homer takes a dangerous dive into an isolated canyon on Candy Peak, but when a crashing boulder traps his arm, he channels Aron Ralston (guest voicing as himself) to save himself. 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. 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. 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.

It all starts this Sunday at 8/7c, on FOX.

    The Diving Bell and Butterball was so, so awful. I actually turned the channel and chose not to watch all of it. It pained me to see The Simpsons do fart jokes…a lot of them, in a Treehouse of Horror short no less!

      i thought it was a funny way to do the parody. Especially since the Simpsons don’t usually do fart jokes. Therefore they do them in a THOH… seemed appropriate.
