Plot-Triggering Book: In the issue 14 story "Murder, He Wrote", Bart finds a notebook similar to the one in Death Note, which the comic parodies, as it operates by the same rules. |

comment |
Bloodier and Gorier: The Treehouse of Horror issues are darker and more disturbing than the animated episodes, even when they act as parodies of existing movies and film franchises. |

Stylistic Suck: The "Boo-tleg" story from Treehouse of Horror #15 is about people dying from the poisonous bootleg candy Apu has stocked at the Kwik-E-Mart. To cover up the deaths and to avoid losing money Apu just has the dead individuals replaced with shoddily made bootleg clones. |

Cloning Gambit: One story revolves around Burns using a cloning machine that creates perfect imperfect duplicates of whatever it's aimed at to create the perfect worker, by using it on Homer. It creates Superman. |

comment |
Parody Assistance: One issue tells the story of Homer becoming a terrible blob creature made out of Squishee drink, in a very obvious Swamp Thing homage ("Squish Thing"). So who did they get to write and draw said story? Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, the duo who created Swamp Thing to begin with! |

Asshole Victim: Unpleasant and cruel people getting killed is a frequent occurrence in the Treehouse of Horror comics. Sideshow Blob's first victims include Dr. Nick, and the bullies, just after the latter had attacked Bart on Halloween Night. The Homer-plant eats Mr. Burns. |

comment |
Clown Species: In one story, a scheme by Kang and Kodos to convert humans into Rigellians through mutagenic fast food is thwarted when feeding them Krusty Burger turns them into dimwitted and weak-willed humans. Unfortunately, any security assured by this is shot by the final page revealing that Krusty Burger is part of a plot by aliens resembling Krusty the Clown to pacify humans to be eaten. |

Nothing Is Scarier: In Treehouse of Horror #17, the last story in the issue, "Harvest of Fear," utilizes this and Gory Discretion Shot by having the final page be drawn to look as though it was cut out. However, on the remaining sliver of page left, one can barely make out Bart getting his face ripped off. |

Schmuck Bait: "Harvest of Fear" in Treehouse of Horror #17 ends with Bart learning the author of the comic that's been driving him nuts removed the last page from every edition because he knew it'd drive kids crazy and lead them to him to find out what happened. The author transforms into a monster and, as can just about be made out on the last page, he rips Bart apart. |
