Opening Sequence

Bart, dressed up as Charlie Brown, and Lisa, dressed up as Lucy van Pelt, discuss their Halloween treats, and Lisa says she got better ones than Bart. They get into a fight, until Homer and a gun-wielding Marge intervene, and the fight breaks out. From their spaceship, Kang and Kodos are watching, criticizing the Simpson family for airing a Halloween special in November. They even say they have their Christmas decorations up.

Synopsis

Reaper Madness

The Grim Reaper enters the Simpson house attempting to take Bart, but the family goes on a Benny Hill-style chase to elude Death. Homer kills Death, but there is no Death left in this world. No one can die until Homer puts on Death's robe, and becomes the Grim Reaper. He kills many people on the way until he is asked to kill Marge. He tries to plead to God that he wants to get out of the job, but then he "pulls a fast one" on Him by substituting Patty's body for Marge.

Frinkenstein

Homer gets a call telling him that he is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, until Lisa clears up and learns it's for Professor Frink, who reanimates his father's corpse in order to have him appear at the ceremony. Unfortunately, the corpse of Frink Sr. goes on a rampage and looks for body parts. At the awards ceremony in Stockholm Frink Sr. tries to make amends with his son for his recent organ harvest, but when he sees all the brains filled with knowledge, he makes another rampage—this time through the audience! Only Frink Jr. can stop his father, but be able to hold on to his soul.

Stop the World, I Want to Goof Off

Bart and Milhouse get a stopwatch that actually allows them to stop time through an ad in an old comic book magazine. They have a great "time", pulling pranks on Springfieldans, and almost get away with it, until they are outsmarted by Mayor Quimby. An angry mob goes after Bart and Milhouse, but when they are on their run, the watch breaks, causing Bart and Milhouse to be the only two people moving in a world where time has stopped. Although the watch repair manual is easy to follow, it takes the pair 15 years to get the watch repaired and for things to go back to normal.
