Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMatt Groening was nervous about "The Raven" because it did not have many gags, and felt it would be "the worst, most pretentious thing [they had] ever done" on the show.
- GoofsThe Krusty doll in Bart's bed at the end of the episode is very noticeably off-model.
- Quotes
[Homer calls the real estate agent in a rage after finding an Indian burial ground in the basement]
Homer: Mr. Pote, Homer Simpson here. When you sold me this house, you forgot to mention one little thing. You didn't tell me it was built on an Indian burial ground!
[pause]
Homer: NO, YOU DIDN'T!
[pause]
Homer: Well, that's not my recollection.
[pause]
Homer: Yeah, well... all right. Good-bye.
[hangs up the phone and turns to Marge]
Homer: He says he mentioned it five or six times.
- Crazy creditsUnlike later Halloween specials, there are no "funny" names for the cast members - everyone is just credited normally.
- ConnectionsFeatured in My Own Private Idaho (1991)
In this episode, "Treehouse of Horror," Lisa and Bart are swapping stories in the treehouse and these stories involve the Simpsons moving into an old haunted house, them getting picked up by aliens whom the Simpsons believe they are going to eat them, and an interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven.
Overall, this is a very good episode that has some bone-chilling moments. It may not be as funny as past episodes and it still is, but I would not expect that in a Halloween-centered episode. I also liked the last line of Homer's. That was really funny. I rate this episode 9/10.
