Treehouse of Horror VI

In the final scene of the episode, Homer is sent to the real world in the first ever live-action scene in the show. It was filmed on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City and directed by David Mirkin, who later said that Fox "couldn't have been less supportive" because they thought it would be too expensive. The scene involves a crane shot which pulls back as the credits are shown. Fox "begrudgingly" allowed Mirkin to use a crane for the ending. The scene was filmed on a sidewalk with the crane on the street and Mirkin was not able to fully stop traffic for the shot. Because of this, when the camera swings around, a line of cars can be seen backed up on the street. Mirkin was also disappointed in the quality of the camera pan, again blaming the lack of support from Fox and the inability to halt the traffic.

In the three-dimensional world, Homer encounters a signpost indicating the directions of X, Y and Z, with X and Z indicating right and back, with Y pointing upward. But X and Y are the directions of the flat plane, which in three dimensions is considered to be the floor. The "up" direction, that gives 3D objects their solidity, is normally labeled Z.

This is the first Treehouse of Horror episode to not have a cemetery motive or tombstones with humorous names in its opening. This is also the first Treehouse of Horror episode to have a short opening.
