Line 14:
** "Nightmare Cafe" from the fifth episode features this ending.
* [[An Arm and a Leg]]: In the cold opening of TOH XXII, Homer does this to ''most'' of his limbs {{spoiler|after his arm gets trapped under a boulder,}} in a direct parody of [[127 Hours|Aron Ralston's plight]] - This ends in total [[Nightmare Fuel]]...
* [[And Now for Something Completely Different]]: Some recent TOH take a break from horror stories and focus on science-fiction or comic books, or [[Up to Eleven|fairy tales]], with a darker spin... ▼
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: [[Played for Laughs]]. Its mostly the supporting cast however, the Simpsons family themselves mostly only die when the the plot needed them. But then its mostly [[The Chew Toy|Homer]]. ''Everyone else'' is fair game in the [[Cold Opening]] however.
* [[Artifact Title]]: Only the ''first'' episode takes place in a tree-house.
Line 79 ⟶ 78:
* [[Sapient Cetaceans]]: In one [[Treehouse of Horror]] episode, dolphins invade the land and take over. They can speak English.
{{quote|Snorky: ''[in high pitched voice]'' [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue|Snorky ... talk ... man ...]] ''[clears throat and reverts to deep male voice]'' I'm sorry, let me start over. Eons ago, dolphins lived on the land. Then your ancestors drove us into the sea, where we suffered for millions of years. I, King Snorky, hereby banish all humans to the sea!}}
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: In ''Bart Simpson's Dracula'', when Bart and Lisa are running up the stairs to escape Burn's vampire minions. Bart comes across a lever for a "Super Happy Fun Slide". He lampshades he knows its a trap, but figures what the hey and pulls it. ("When am I gonna be here again?") Leading to him sliding back down into the vampire lair, getting captured, bitten and turned. Homer nearly does the same thing later in the episode, but Lisa stops him.▼
* [[Self-Deprecation]]: In one segment, D-list celebrities are going to get shot into the sun. [[Tom Arnold]] voices himself here and proves to be a good sport.
* [[Shout-Out]]: See the ever so convenient [[Whole-Plot Reference]].
* [[Smart People Know Latin]]: In the parody of ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'', Nerd and [[TV Genius]] Martin is seen [[Asleep in Class]] dreaming about conjugating Latin verbs.

* [[Take Me Instead!]]: Homer offers himself to a zombie horde so that his family can escape. He's ultimately rejected, as he doesn't have a brain for the zombies to eat.
** Inverted in another episode: "Don't eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them!"
