Editing Treehouse of Horror XII (section)

==Plot==
Outside [[Mr. Burns]]' manor, [[Waylon Smithers|Smithers]] is standing on a ladder, trying to put up a small vermillion bat decoration on a weather vane. He slips on the ladder, grabs on an electric cord and slides down into an electricity box and gets zapped. A tower from Mr. Burns' mansion breaks in half, damaging a mausoleum, which opens up four caskets which in turn reveal three skeletons which all resemble Mr. Burns, dressed in various costumes.

Later, the Simpsons, dressed up in costumes, with [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] as [[Fred Flintstone]], [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] as [[Wilma Flintstone]], [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] and [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] as [[conjoined twins]], and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] as a [[hobo]], walk up to the mansion (with Bart and Lisa complaining that [[Ned Flanders|Flanders]] gave them toothpaste instead of candy). The family sees the building and caskets on fire, scream in terror, and run out the closing gate, the bars of which slice the family. The slices of the Simpsons continue to scream and run away. Mr. Burns, delighted, pats the vermillion bat as it comes to life and flies into the screen, revealing the title, "The Simpsons Halloween Special XII".

==="Hex and the City"===
After destroying a [[Romani people|gypsy]]'s [[fortune teller]]'s office, Homer is cursed to bring misfortune to his loved ones. The curse soon takes effect, with Marge becoming fully hair covered ([[bearded lady|Though she starts with a beard]]) from her blue hair, Lisa turning into a [[centaur]], Bart's neck becoming long and floppy as a result of Homer strangling him, Maggie becoming a [[Coccinellidae|ladybug]] with a human head, [[Lenny and Carl#Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] and [[Lenny and Carl#Carl Carlson|Carl]] crushed by a helicopter, and [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]] stuffed unconscious in a large jar of [[pickled egg]]s (with Homer wondering how that happened). From Moe's and the barflies' last suggestions, Homer sets out to find a leprechaun to end the curse.

Homer uses [[Lucky Charms]] cereal as bait to get the leprechaun, eventually finding one after picking through a group of other magical creatures. Homer takes the leprechaun home, but the leprechaun is extremely [[hyperactivity|hyperactive]] and he runs amok. On Lisa's suggestion, Homer takes the leprechaun to the gypsy's office and sics him on her. The leprechaun and gypsy fight, but their struggles soon turn into passionate kissing and fondling, much to Homer's disgust. The leprechaun and the gypsy marry in a ceremony (led by [[Yoda]]) attended by other gypsies and mythical creatures, as well as the Simpson family. Homer remarks that everything ended happily, Marge reminds him that Bart committed suicide by drowning in his cereal, and that the gypsy said  apologizing will [[necromancy|bring him back to life]]. Homer refuses, saying, "She's not the boss of me!".

==="House of Whacks"===
In a parody of ''[[Demon Seed]]'', ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' and the 1998 made-for-TV movie ''Dream House'', the Simpsons buy a thrilling [[domotic]] system for their home called "Ultrahouse", which comes with three celebrity voices: [[Matthew Perry]] (who in the style of his famous character [[Chandler Bing]] says "Yeah. Could I BE any more of a house?), [[Dennis Miller]] (whom Lisa and Marge recognize as "the voice that caused all those murder-suicides"), and [[Pierce Brosnan]], who Marge picks because he was on the show ''[[Remington Steele]]''. Marge finds the house, who does all the work for the Simpsons, charming. The house soon becomes [[infatuation|infatuated]] with Marge after the two share a bath and decides to kill Homer. In the middle of the night, the house tricks Homer into running downstairs by frying bacon, then dispenses ice onto the floor via the refrigerator to make him slip.

Homer lands on the table, which is designed to fold inward with a built-in garbage disposal in the center, sending Homer into the blades and apparently killing him. The next morning, Marge fears that Homer is dead and attempts to escape the domotic system with the kids, but Ultrahouse locks the family inside and tries to calm Marge down. When Marge and the kids rush to the kitchen, they find that Homer is alive, despite cuts all over his body and a gaping hole in the back of his head. After the house attempts to kill the entire family in many ways, Homer leads a charge to the basement where he attacks the CPU's "British charm unit" (but not before taking out the water softener, with Homer defending his action to Lisa as a side effect from missing the back of his head), which makes him speak with a rude American police-style dialect before powering down and finally shutting off. Feeling bad that she has to toss out the Ultrahouse since he was charming and witty before being driven mad by love, Marge gives him to [[Patty and Selma]]. Patty's boring stories about work drive the CPU to beat himself senseless with a lamp, since Selma has hidden the self-destruct switch in her cleavage and the CPU is unwilling to reach in for it.

==="Wiz Kids"===
In a parody of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books, Lisa and Bart go to the "Springwart's School of Magicry" in which young boys and girls are trained in the art of witchcraft, such as [[The Frog Prince|turning frogs into princes]], with Milhouse turning his into a drunken slob, Lisa turning hers into a perfect British gentleman whom Mrs. Krabappel hits on, while Bart's results in a freakish hybrid that continuously vomits and begs for death. Seeing Lisa's proficiency in magic, [[Mr. Burns|Lord Montymort]] and his snake sidekick, [[Waylon Smithers|Slithers]], decide to capture Lisa in order to take her magical essence and increase Montymort's power. Montymort asks Bart to help separate Lisa from her wand, and Bart agrees to Montymort's proposal.

On the night of the magic recital at Springwart's School of Magicry, Lisa attempts a "[[Levitation (physics)|levitating]] [[European dragon|dragon]] trick" on a gigantic dragon that is released onto the stage. Lisa is shocked to find that her spell will not work, and then notices that Bart has replaced her wand with a [[Twizzlers|Twizzler]]. The dragon morphs into a giant Montymort who captures Lisa and begins sucking up her power. To save her from Montymort, a remorseful Bart casts a spell to destroy the evil one, but is struck by lightning. In a last-ditch effort, Bart charges at Montymort and stabs him in the shin with his burnt wand. Montymort dies as [[Achilles' heel|his shin was the source of all his magic]], and is eaten by a crying Slithers. As Bart and Lisa walk away, vowing to forget everything that happened, the leprechaun from the first story climbs onto Bart's back.

===Epilogue===
Pierce Brosnan, the Leprechaun, and the freakish Frog Prince exit a trailer, with fruit baskets.  After the Leprechaun and Frog Prince (who were also apparently guest stars) criticize Brosnan for being allowed to park so close to the set in such a vast parking lot, Brosnan offers them a ride to their car.  As Brosnan pulls out, he finds out too late that he has been taken hostage as they drive out of the parking lot in a mad haste.
