Treehouse of Horror XXXIII – Multi-Event Details Overview Halloween is the new “it” holiday, and Springfielders are going crazy for it in the most crassly commercial way possible. Lisa tries to teach them the true meaning of dread and horror by publicly reading “The Fall of the House of Usher”, but her audience quickly gets bored and leaves in search of more shock value. One person appreciates her effort though: Edgar Allan Poe himself! Eager to learn about this future world where Halloween is such a big deal, Poe first embarrasses himself (and Lisa) but trying to fit in, and then becomes angry when he’s unable to teach Springfielders the true meaning of horror either. A mocking Bart decides to teach Poe and Lisa what’s what by summoning the true “old guy” master of horror: H.P. Lovecraft! After quarreling with each other about who’s the better teller of macabre tales, Poe and Lovecraft briefly team up to thwart the town’s semi-regular zombie invasion. But afterwards, Lovecraft is determined to prove he’s the best by enlisting Mad Doctor Itchy’s help in giving life to his most twisted creation ever: Sideshow…Chicken?
