Opening[edit]

Traditional horror movie characters such as Frankenstein's Monster, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, and Dracula roam the streets of Springfield on Halloween night. After they are teased by Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney, they get new, more modern costumes from a Halloween store. They then go to an adult Halloween party thrown by Homer and Marge, but are soon confronted by their wives, who are angry that their husbands lied about going out to kill children tonight. Homer tries to intervene as the wives begin to assault their husbands, only to be decapitated, and his eyes are then replaced with two red x's, the title of the episode then appears onscreen.^[3]

Dial 'M' for Murder or Press '#' to Return to Main Menu[edit]

In a parody of Alfred Hitchcock's films, Lisa wants revenge after being sent to detention by Ms. Hoover for disrupting class as she claims another student topped her through a tutor. Bart hatches a 'criss-cross' plan and tells Lisa that if she pulls a 'ding-dong ditch' on Mrs. Krabappel, he will do the same to Ms. Hoover. Lisa thinks this means ringing the bell at Mrs. Krabappel's apartment and leaving. However, Lisa soon learns that Bart meant for her to kill Mrs. Krabappel (and dump the corpse in a ditch), as he has killed Ms. Hoover. Bart attempts to coax Lisa into killing Mrs. Krabappel with a paper cutter, but she refuses. Eventually, Bart decides to blackmail her into it with help from Willie, who would frame Lisa for the decapitated Skinner to honor his side of the 'criss-cross' in which Bart killed Skinner. Realizing that Bart would frame her for these incidents, Lisa tricks him into believing that she was submitting at his will only to get a knife from his hands and attempts to kill Bart in self-defense, beginning a chase sequence. Bart finally finds shelter at a crowded playground carousel, but is left at Lisa's mercy when the other children leave to get ice cream. Lisa, however, recognizing that she would not be better than Bart, says she will never be a murderer, and attempts to throw the knife away. The knife cycles out of control and ends up nailing Bart in the head just as Mrs. Krabappel appears, pleased at his death. Despite her shock for accidentally killing Bart, Lisa agrees that it is better this way and she and Krabappel walk away smiling, leaving the murdered Bart to spin around on the carousel.

Don't Have a Cow, Mankind[edit]

Krusty the Clown introduces a new version of his Krusty Burger, the Burger², made from cattle that have eaten other cattle in their feed. Upon eating a burger on live television, Kent Brockman begins to comment on the taste before turning gray, red-eyed, and cannibalistic, starting a chain reaction of people getting attacked and eaten. Twenty-eight days later, Springfield has become overrun by zombies called munchers. The Simpsons are established to be one of the few survivors.

One day, Bart, tired of eating fruit, escapes from his family's barricaded house and eats one of the tainted burgers, but turns out to be immune to its effects. Over the phone, a besieged Dr. Hibbert tells them that Bart's immunity may be the key to developing a cure to the muncher epidemic and that they must bring Bart to a so-called 'safe zone' being established in Shelbyville. The Simpsons are attacked after a failed attempt to sneak out but are saved by Apu, driving an armored off-road truck. Apu explains that he was never infected because, as a vegan, he did not eat any of the tainted beef, and as a convenience store owner, he is 'armed to the teeth' (with a large arsenal of military-grade firearms).

The group tries to leave Springfield, but Apu crashes the truck on top of a pile of smashed cars at the edge of town. Apu goes to push the car off the pile, but the Simpsons drive away thinking Apu sacrificed himself, when he actually wanted the Simpsons to wait for him. After Apu is killed by the munchers, the Simpsons drive on but run out of gas in the middle of the highway, walking the remaining 20 miles to the safe zone. During their journey, Homer is bitten by Mr. Burns, thus turning him into a muncher himself. The family decide not to kill him in the hopes of finding a cure. They reach the safe zone, where Bart –being immune to the virus –is worshiped as the 'chosen one'. However, the people there believe that cannibalizing Bart will save them from the virus. The Simpsons think of another solution: vaccinating the remaining populace by having Bart bathe in their food before eating it.

There's No Business Like Moe Business[edit]

In a parody of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, presented as a stage musical, Moe is lonely and upset that he does not have a girlfriend and is jealous when he sees Homer and Marge together. When Homer falls into the basement of the bar and is impaled by the microbrew pipes, his blood becomes the secret ingredient in Moe's new beer. Everyone loves this new beer, saying that it makes them feel warm, secure and cozy on the inside. Moe uses this to his advantage and woos Marge, tricking her into thinking that Homer came out of the closet as gay and left Marge, when in reality, Homer is slowly dying from losing blood. Homer emerges, alive, despite being impaled by Moe's microbrew machine, hurls Moe (represented as a dummy) across the room, and reunites with Marge.

Ending[edit]

The whole audience except for Kang and Kodos gathers onstage and conclude the episode by singing 'Number XX' when Kang then shushes the audience, gesturing at Kodos, who has fallen asleep with the playbill over his helmet.

Cultural references[edit]

The first segment includes parodies of the Alfred Hitchcock films Psycho,^[4]Strangers on a Train,^[5]North by Northwest, and Spellbound, as well as a reference to the film Vertigo (in particular the Vertigo effect). The main theme from Psycho by Bernard Herrmann is used extensively during the first part. The title of the segment takes its name from the film Dial M for Murder.

The second segment is a parody of the 2002 British horror film 28 Days Later and also contains references to Children of Men and I Am Legend.^[6][7] The title of the segment takes its name from Bart's catchphrase, Don't have a cow, man.

The title of 'There's No Business Like Moe Business' is a parody of the song 'There's No Business Like Show Business' from Annie Get Your Gun. The episode was inspired by the 2007 film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.^[8]

Reception[edit]

In its original American broadcast, 'Treehouse of Horror XX' was watched by 8.59 million viewers and was the most watched of Fox's Animation Domination, ahead of American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.^[2] The show was the fourth most watched episode on Fox after House, The OT, and Family Guy in the 18/49 rating.^[9]

Robert Canning of IGN praised the episode, saying 'it was a fine addition to the series' Halloween specials'. He enjoyed all of the stories, and said that the Sweeney Todd segment was 'a nice treat'. He also said that the airing of this Treehouse of Horror episode before Halloween, the first time that this had happened in ten years, '[had to] count for something'.^[10]Screen Rant called it the best episode of the 21st season.^[11]

From the 1980s onwards Fruit Machine manufacturers took advantage of advances in electronics and computing. To make their fruit machines more sophisticated in terms of looks and features. However, today's modern fruit machines are still clearly related to their one-armed bandit ancestors. With the original symbols of fruits. Typically lemons, cherries, melons, grapes, oranges, BARs, Lucky number 7s Bells etc still being used to this day.

How To Play Fruit Machines

If you've played slot machines before you should have no problem grasping the basics of fruit machine games. Playing fruit machines is similar to slots. But as mentioned above, there are a few differences. Understanding the key features of a fruit machine, as detailed below, is the key to success!

Cash Ladder

Cash ladders are found on all fruit machine games. They are simple to understand and are a key part of the fruit machine experience. With the potential to win ever larger sums of money as you move up a cash ladder towards the jackpot payout. In the U.K. the maximum jackpot is actually governed by British gaming laws.
Typically, on standard cash ladders, players get the opportunity to stop a light flashing as it moves up and down the cash ladder at rapid speed. If you can stop it on a cash prize then you win that amount. You can see a good example of this type of cash ladder in our Spooky Fruity fruit machine.
You can also find games with cash ladders that you move up one step at a time over the course of a game. Moving slowly but surely higher up the cash ladder towards the jackpot. Which keeps players motivated to carry on playing. But all these fruit machines involve an element of chance. There is the risk that you may be sent back one or more spaces on the cash ladder or, even worse, you may be sent right to square one!

Bonus Board

On fruit machines, a bonus board (also known as a bonus trail). Is typically made up of a grid or series of graphics that light up rapidly and at random. Players must press a 'Stop' button to stop the random flashing and win whatever reward is lit up at the time.
The type of bonus players can win varies from game to game. These can include winning cash, winning nudges or winning a gamble game or cash ladder feature etc. Skilled players may boast that they have developed mastery over a particular game and can stop the bonus board wherever they wish.

Hi Lo Bonus

The Hi-Lo feature on fruit machine games is a fifty-fifty style gamble feature. Players can choose to try to double their winnings by guessing if a number will be higher or lower than a number on display. A wrong guess means the players lose their win and this can lead to a lot of British swear words! An element of strategy may appear to be involved. But remember that, ultimately, what happens after you've pressed 'Hi' or 'Lo' is really up to the computer code at the heart of the fruit machine.

Nudge buttons

Nudge buttons are an integral part of fruit machines and can help you create a winning payline. When you have nudges available. You can press the nudge buttons to move the symbols on the reel(s) of your choice down by one or more steps depending upon the number of nudges you have.
The number of nudges you can have will vary depending upon the game you are playing.

Hold buttons

Hold buttons are a very useful feature on a fruit machine. They allow you to opt to hold one or more reels and then spin the remainder. This feature is typically employed to hold two of the same symbol in the hope that the next spin will result in the winning payline being completed by a third matching symbol. Some players who claim they know how to beat a particular machine may claim it's possible to memorize the best reel holding strategies.
