Couch Gag: The family (as zombies) enter through the living room floor before sitting on the couch. Synopsis Bart walks through an art gallery to show scary paintings, in a Night Gallery parody. Each painting Bart shows will hint at a story. The Devil and Homer Simpson When Homer is at work, he realizes all the doughnuts were gone when he dreamt about them. Homer mentions he would sell his soul for a doughnut, which the Devil Flanders arranges, by having Homer sign a paper and offer him a doughnut. However, the Devil Flanders warns Homer that once he eats it, he will own Homer's soul. Homer eats the last bite of his doughnut in the kitchen, and the Devil Flanders comes to take Homer's soul, with half of his body stuck in the kitchen floor. The Devil Flanders puts Homer on trial the next night at midnight, with Homer being warned that until the trial occurs, he will spend the day in Hell. The case occurs, with a "Jury of the Damned" and the Grim Reaper as a judge. The Grim Reaper has chosen to sentence Homer to an eternity, but Marge shows the "Jury of the Damned" pictures of Homer and her, with a note from Homer to Marge telling her he can give Marge his soul, which he pledges to her forever. The jury declares Homer's soul to be the legal property of Marge, but the Devil Flanders puts the doughnut on Homer's head forever. This is a parody of The Devil and Daniel Webster. Terror at 5 Feet On a rainy day, Bart and Lisa get on the school bus, which surprisingly also has Principal Skinner on, because his mother took away his car keys for talking to a woman on the phone. Sitting next to Milhouse, Bart believes there's a gremlin on the side of the bus. He asks Otto to do something about the gremlin, and rams into Hans Moleman's AMC Gremlin. However, Bart still insists that the gremlin is still on the side of the bus. He tries to tell everyone, but they don't believe him, even when it continues to damage the bus. Bart is not allowed to look out the window, but he looks out and uses the bus's emergency flares to stop the gremlin. Principal Skinner, Groundskeeper Willie, and everyone else sees it, and Bart uses the flares to kill the gremlin, which Ned Flanders briefly adopts as a pet before it kills him. Although the gremlin really did destroy the bus, Bart is sent to an asylum for the rest of his life. Bart Simpson's Dracula Mr. Burns, in the part of Dracula in this parody, buys the Springfield Blood Bank. He invites the Simpsons to a midnight dinner at his country house in Pennsylvania, in hopes that he can kill the Simpsons to add them to his "army of the undead". As Bart and Lisa go to "wash up", Bart insists that Mr. Burns is not a vampire and would never bite anyone. They discover Burns has a secret hiding place with vampires coming to bite. Bart is scared as the vampires approach towards him, and runs up, but goes down again when the vampires attempt to bite him, until Mr. Burns bites him. Lisa warns the other Simpsons that Burns really is a vampire, and Bart becomes one. Lisa is scared that Bart will bite her, and the Simpsons go back to kill the head vampire - Mr. Burns. Driving a stake through his heart, Burns is killed, but Bart and the other Simpsons are still vampires. Lisa has to kill the true head vampire, Marge, to break the spell. Quotes - Homer: It was so nice of Mr. Burns to invite us to a midnight dinner at his country house in...Pennsylvania!
- Bart: Paintings: lifeless images rendered in colourful goop. But at night, they take on a life of their own. They become portals to hell, so scary and horrible and gruesome that -- Marge: Bart! You should warn people that this episode is very frightening. And maybe they'd rather listen to that old War of the Worlds broadcast on NPR, hmm? Bart: Yes, mother.
- Homer: "Dear Homer, I. O. U. one emergency donut. Signed, Homer." Bastard! He's always one step ahead.
- Devil Flanders: Silence! I give you the Jury of the Damned! Benedict Arnold, Lizzie Borden, Richard Nixon -- Nixon: But I'm not dead yet! In fact, I just wrote an article for Redbook. Flanders: Hey, listen, I did a favor for you! Nixon: Yes, master. Flanders: John Wilkes Booth, Blackbeard the Pirate, John Dillinger, and the starting line of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers!
