Homer then jokes that he will make sure to not kill Marge every week from now on. Marge thanks Homer by giving him extra pork chops. The annoyed deity tries to punish Homer, but gives up after a chase, proclaiming that he is "too old and too rich". God agrees, but he finds that Homer tricked him by substituting Patty's body (which God initially mistakes for Selma's) for Marge's. Homer does not want to kill his wife (or himself, an alternative he is given but quickly rejects), and pleads with God that he wants to get out of the job after leading Him to believe that he killed Marge. He kills many people who are on God's list (and some who are not), until he is asked to kill Marge. At first, he refuses to reap souls, but when the cloak begins to crush his groin, he complies. Homer does, but puts on Death's robe, inadvertently turning himself into the new Grim Reaper. On trash day, Marge tells Homer to take Death's corpse to the curb. The scene cuts to two examples of a world where no one can die: Frankie the Squealer (last seen in " Insane Clown Poppy") surviving an execution by the Springfield Mafia, much to their frustration, and Moe attempting to hang himself from the ceiling of his tavern. The Simpsons find that no one can die since Death is dead. As Death is about to sentence Bart to an eternity of pain, Homer kills him by cracking his skull open with a bowling ball in revenge for the deaths of Snowball I and President John F. Death eventually manages to pin Bart's shirt to the wall with his scythe. The Grim Reaper enters the Simpson house attempting to take Bart, but the family goes on a Benny Hill-style chase to elude him. Meanwhile, from their spaceship, the two aliens Kang and Kodos criticize the Simpson family for airing a Halloween special in November, as they are already set up for Christmas. Homer's blood splatters on a nearby wall, spelling the title of the episode. A gun-wielding Marge intervenes and says that she does not approve of Homer's parenting techniques, and shoots him. Homer gets Bart and Lisa rolled up in the rug and starts to "beat the lumps". He throws a burning log at them, but misses and hits Grampa, though he complains that he's still cold. The two then fight violently until Homer intervenes and orders them to stop fighting. It is also the final Treehouse of Horror episode to play the traditional paced organ variant of the Simpsons theme at the end credits.īart and Lisa, dressed as Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt from the Peanuts series, discuss their Halloween treats, and Lisa claims that hers are better than Bart's.
