HAIR-RAISING TALES ON "THE SIMPSONS" FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, ON FOX

Couch Gag From Horror Master Guillermo Del Toro

Encore Broadcast of This Season's "Treehouse of Horror XXIV"

The opener of the 24th annual "Treehouse of Horror" is from Guillermo del Toro and features monsters and classic characters from horror films throughout history. In the first of three spine-tingling stories, Homer rides around Springfield wreaking havoc in a rhyming take on a popular children's tale. In "Dead and Shoulders," Bart is beheaded during a kite accident, his head is attached to Lisa's body and they must live together as one. The final terrifying tale, "Freaks no Geeks," features Mr. Burns' traveling circus, The Burnsum and Bailey Circus, which has stopped in Springfieldland in the 1930s. Trapeze artist Marge and Strong Man Homer are performers and things go awry when circus freak Moe starts to make advances towards Marge in the "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Friday, Oct. 25 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
