Synopsis

Opening segment

In the opening, using an accelerator-beam, Kang and Kodos hope to speed up a World Series baseball game to air The Simpsons. Things later go sour, and the baseball stadium is drawn in to a specific point where the gravity is high. Afterwards the stadiums’ surroundings are drawn into this point and then the whole city of Springfield, then Earth’s oceans, the whole Earth, the solar system, numerous galaxies and finally God is drawn into this singularity, a form of a Big Crunch. Kodos says to Kang, “Smooth move, space-lax! You’ve destroyed the totality of existence.” Kang replies, “It’ll be fine. I’ll just leave a note.” The note says: “Treehouse of Horror XVI”.

B.I.: Bartificial Intelligence

In a parody of the film A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Bart ends up in a coma after attempting to jump from the roof to the swimming pool at Spinster Arms Apartments. In an effort to cope with the loss of their boy, the family takes in a robotic boy, named David, who quickly proves to be a better son. Later, Bart is found to be alive. He escapes from the hospital and seeks to plot revenge on David, and in the end, he cuts both Homer and David in half after becoming a cyborg. Eventually, Homer, who no longer has his legs, now has to be fused with David’s legs. Then this Segment ends up being a dream of Homer’s, and that he’s just possessed by the devil, with a brief parody of The Exorcist.

Survival of the Fattest

In a parody of The Most Dangerous Game; Homer, Lenny, Carl, and the rest of the gang come to Mr. Burns’ mansion to go hunting. Unbeknownst to them, they are the prey to be hunted. Homer manages to survive the night as his friends are killed, but Burns closes in on him. Just as he is about to shot, Burns and Smithers are both knocked out with frying pans by Marge, who then hits Homer for being away from home for eighteen hours and not calling. In the episode, Marge says, “I knew there was something wrong when I saw the cover of the TV guide.” It shows a picture of Homer being chased by Burns and Smithers.

I’ve Grown a Costume on Your Face

Titled as a play on the song I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face from My Fair Lady, and with a plot device similar to the classic Twilight Zone episode The Masks, as well as the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Halloween. The citizens of Springfield dress in their Halloween costumes for a costume contest. A wicked witch is declared the winner. But after revealing that she isn’t wearing a costume, and is really a witch, she is disqualified and her prize is taken away. In a vengeful fury she turns everyone into their costumed characters. The only person who can reverse the spell is Maggie, who was costumed as a witch, and now really is one. Half the townspeople want to be turned back into their normal selves while the other half wants to stay as they are. Maggie then turns them all, including guest star Dennis Rodman, into pacifiers with their normal heads.
