Treehouse of Horror II
"Treehouse of Horror II" (originally known as "The Simpsons Halloween Special II") is the seventh episode of ''The Simpsons''' third season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 31, 1991 (Halloween 1991).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Treehouse of Horror II )〕 It is the second annual ''Treehouse of Horror'' episode, consisting of three self-contained segments, told as dreams of Lisa, Bart and Homer. In the first segment, which was inspired by W. W. Jacobs's short story ''The Monkey's Paw'' and ''The New Twilight Zone'' episode "A Small Talent for War", Homer buys a Monkey's Paw that has the power to grant wishes, although all of the wishes backfire. In the second part, which parodies the ''Twilight Zone'' episode "It's a Good Life", Bart is omnipotent, and turns Homer into a jack-in-the-box, resulting in the two spending more time together. In the final segment, Mr. Burns attempts to use Homer's brain to power a giant robotic laborer.
The episode was written by Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Jeff Martin, George Meyer, Sam Simon and John Swartzwelder while Jim Reardon was the director. The episode is presented in a similar format to the previous season's "Treehouse of Horror" and contains several similarities to the previous episode, such as Marge's opening warning, the tombstones in the opening credits and the appearance of the alien characters Kang and Kodos. "Treehouse of Horror II" was the first episode that employed the "scary names" idea, in which many of the credits have unusual names. The episode contains numerous parodies and references to horror and science fiction works, including ''The Twilight Zone'', ''Frankenstein'', ''Bride of Frankenstein'', ''The Thing with Two Heads'' and ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers''.
In its original airing on the Fox Network, the episode had a 12.1 Nielsen rating and finished the week ranked 39th. The episode received positive reviews, and in 2006, IGN listed the third story as the eighth best ''Treehouse of Horror'' segment. The episode was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Individual Achievement in Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special and Alf Clausen for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.
