Editing Treehouse of Horror VIII (section)

==Plot==
===Opening===
A censor for the Fox network is sitting at his desk going through the show's script, censoring some things and explaining to the audience that the episode is rated [[TV-G]] with no violence or anything explicit. As he continues talking, a hand reaches with a sword from the rating and stabs him many times with the rating changing from TV-G to TV-PG, TV-14, TV-MA to the fictional ratings TV-21 and TV-666. He falls on his desk dead and his blood spells the title, "''The Simpsons Halloween Special VIII''".

==="The HΩmega Man"===
After [[Joe Quimby|Mayor Quimby]] makes an offensive joke about France, the French president launches a [[neutron bomb]] directly into Springfield, apparently killing everyone except [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], who had been inspecting a bomb shelter he was considering buying from [[List of recurring The Simpsons characters#Herman Hermann|Herman]]. Homer emerges and seems to be the only person in Springfield left alive. Initially grieving for his loved ones, Homer perks up, realizing that being the last person allows him to do everything he always wanted to.

While dancing naked in church, he is confronted by a band of hostile Springfield citizens who have become mutants from the blast. Homer flees back home where he discovers that his family survived as their house was [[Lead shielding|protected by its many layers of lead paint]]. [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] and the children kill the mutants with shotguns and then the family head off to steal some [[Ferrari]]s.

==="Fly vs. Fly"===
Homer buys a [[Teleportation|matter transporter]] from [[Professor Frink]]. [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] sees the family pets inadvertently go through the transporter together, resulting in a DNA mismatch. This gives him the idea to enter the teleporter with a fly, thinking that he will become a mutant superhero. However, the machine simply switches their heads around.

Bart appeals to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] for help, but she is chased by the fly and cornered in the kitchen. Bart tries to stop the fighting, but is eaten by the fly. Lisa then pushes the fly into the teleporter. Bart comes out the other end, fully restored. Homer furiously chases Bart with an axe for messing with the device.

==="Easy-Bake Coven"===
In 1649, the town is witness to many [[Witch-hunt|witch burnings]]. In the church, the townspeople try to figure out whom to condemn next. People begin accusing others and soon they erupt into chaos, until Marge intervenes.

She tries to talk sense into the townspeople, but [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]] accuses her of being a witch. [[Mayor Quimby|Quimby]] assures her that she is entitled to due process which means she will be thrown off a cliff with a broomstick; if she is a witch she will be able to fly to safety, in which case the authorities expect her to report back for punishment. If she is not a witch, then she will fall to an honorable Christian death. After being shoved off the cliff, Marge flies up on the broomstick revealing that she really is a witch, turning [[Chief Wiggum]] into a giant gopher and officers Lou and Eddie into a fairy and snowman, before returning to her sisters [[Patty and Selma]]. The sisters watch [[Ned Flanders|Ned]] and [[Maude Flanders]] talking about how the witches [[child cannibalism|eat children]], which gives them the notion to do just that. They knock on the Flanders' door and demand their sons, but before they leave, Maude offers the witches [[gingerbread men]] instead. The witches like these better than the children so they go to each house, getting goodies in exchange for not eating the children. As they fly off, the [[Captain Horatio McAllister|Sea Captain]] says that is how the tradition of [[Halloween]] and [[trick-or-treating]] started.
