Bonney, a man who was killed in his youth by gun violence. While at the Springfield Cemetery mourning the loss of her pet goldfish, Lisa inadvertently discovers the grave of William H. Marge is distressed by the real Homer's death until the clone Homer soothes her with a backrub. That evening, Marge is shocked to find that the Homer in bed with her is actually a clone, the real Homer having actually been the first one to jump off the cliff with the other clones. The plan works, and the clones tumble into the gorge in pursuit of the donuts. Lisa suggests that a fleet of helicopters lure the clones into Springfield Gorge to their deaths by using giant donuts as bait. US army officials gather in the Mayor's War Room and determine that the clones will eat up America by the next day. The clones use the abandoned hammock to make an army of Homer clones, which wreak havoc in Springfield. He bundles the clones in a truck and takes them to an isolated cornfield, where he abandons them, along with the hammock. When one clone kills Ned Flanders, Homer decides to get rid of the clones and the hammock. He also discovers that the clones are becoming increasingly less intelligent. He makes clones to do all of his chores, which include fixing a light fitting (resulting in the first clone being electrocuted to death and Homer creating a new clone to help dispose of the body), helping Marge choose an outfit, visiting Grampa, and play baseball with Bart, Lisa and Maggie. He inspects the first clone and notices that it does not have a belly button. Disregarding this, Homer lies down and discovers that the new hammock can produce clones of anyone who rests on it. He purchases a new one from a passing vendor, who warns him that it carries a curse. In this spoof of Multiplicity, Homer's hammock collapses while he is taking a nap. She asks if they're ready for tales that will shatter spines and boil blood, to which Lisa replies as "well, duh." She then pulls out a book that reads the episode's title. Bart tries to trick Ned by dressing up as Maude's ghost, but the real ghost of Maude, now a demonic spirit, appears instead. The Simpson family and Ned Flanders hold a séance in the hope of communicating with the spirit of Maude Flanders. Hibbert invites everyone in Springfield to his island resort where everyone is turned into half-man, half-animal hybrids in "The Island of Dr.

In the episode, Homer buys a magic hammock that can create duplicates of anyone who lies in it in "Send in the Clones" Lisa's call to end gun violence resurrects undead outlaws in "The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms" and Dr. It is also the first Halloween episode to be titled Treehouse of Horror in the opening credits, as all prior Halloween episodes were referred to as The Simpsons Halloween Special.
