Treehouse of Horror XIV is the first episode of Season 15. Although this is the second Treehouse of Horror episode to be digitally animated, it’s the first to air after the permanent digital switch (originally going to be in Season 14 in production order).
In another annual Halloween special, we see Homer become the new Grim Reaper, Professor Frink brings his dad back to life, with interesting results, and Bart and Milhouse get a stopwatch that literally allows them to stop time.
Intro
Bart and Lisa, dressed up as Charlie Brown and Lucy van Pelt from the Peanuts series discuss their Halloween treats, and Lisa claims that hers are better than Bart's. The two then fight violently until Homer intervenes and breaks them up. He throws an inflamed log at them, but misses and hits Grampa. He even complains "I'm still cold". Homer gets Bart and Lisa rolled up in the rug and begins to "beat the lumps". A gun-wielding Marge intervenes and says that she does not approve of Homer's parenting techniques, she then shoots Homer, splattering his blood on the wall behind Homer (revealing the title). Meanwhile, in their spaceship, high above the earth, the two aliens, Kang and Kodos, take note of how the Simpson family is showing a Halloween special in November--they question why anyone would still be thinking about Halloween and point out how they already have all their Christmas decorations set up, complete with multi-legged stockings and alien reindeer, then they take off.
Reaper Madness
In a parody of the Family Guy episode Death is a Bitch and loosely based on The Santa Clause, the Grim Reaper enters The Simpson house attempting to take the soul of Bart Simpson, but the family goes on a Benny Hill-style chase to elude him. However, Death eventually manages to pin Bart’s shirt to the wall with his scythe. But as the Grim Reaper is about to kill Bart, Homer kills Death with a bowling ball, (in revenge for killing Snowball I and President John F. Kennedy), but when he does, he learns that everyone is practically immortal (and The Jim Belushi Show wouldn't be cancelled) now that the Grim Reaper is dead. The scene then cuts to two examples of a world without death: Frankie the Squealer being repeatedly shot by the Springfield Mafia and Moe hanging himself from the ceiling without success. On trash day, Marge tells Homer to take the dead Grim Reaper to the curb. Homer does, but puts on the robe, unwittingly transforming himself into the new Grim Reaper. His hands becomes skeletal and gains magic powers. He is reluctant at first, but only agrees after God mangles his groin. Homer settles into his job, and enjoys using, and abusing, his power, until he is asked to kill Marge. Homer doesn’t want to kill his wife (or himself, an alternative choice he receives but quickly rejects), and he tries to plead to God that he wants to get out of the job after leading him to believe that he killed Marge. Then Homer pulls a fast one on God by substituting Patty’s body for Marge (which God initially mistakes for Selma) with Marge’s hair taped to her head. The annoyed deity tries to punish Homer with a lethal sunbeam but Homer quickly escapes on his motorcycle, prompting God to sigh "I’m too old and far too rich for this" when a train stops him from pursuing further. Meanwhile, at the house, Marge gives Homer an extra pork chop for not killing her. Homer then mentions that he will not kill Marge every week from now on, which everyone laughs about.
Frinkenstein
In a parody of Frankenstein, Homer gets a call from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences telling him that he is the winner of the Nobel Prize; however, Lisa learns that it’s actually for Professor Frink. Frink is so excited that he won the Nobel Prize (for devising a hammer with a screwdriver on the other end of it), where he expresses the wish that his father was able to see him win. He explains that his father always saw him as a disappointment, and describes his father as a he-man scientist who worked on the atom bomb by day, slept with Marilyn Monroe by night, and sold secrets to the Russians at lunch. The last time he was seen alive was just before he went on a fishing trip. Frink Jr. didn't want to go on the trip because he gets sick ("clean but nauseous") taking a shower. His father, disgusted, took off without him. Frink reveals that his father was bitten by a shark while he was testing a blood-based suntan lotion. Meanwhile, Frink decides to reanimate his father’s corpse in order to have him appear at the ceremony. Frink Sr. is unimpressed with his new robot parts and lack of “genitals in the traditional sense”. Unfortunately, the corpse of Frink Sr. goes on a murderous rampage stripping organs from others, including Ned Flanders's heart, Principal Skinner's spine (his mother isn't amused), Sideshow Mel's trademark hair, Krusty's neck, Snake's right arm, Mr. Burns' left arm, Nelson's torso, part of Selma's right foot, part of Disco Stu's left foot, Kearney's legs, and Comic Book Guy’s butt (although he somehow survived). Eventually, Lisa convinces Frink Sr. to stop when he realizes he is causing his son anguish. Meanwhile at the awards ceremony in Stockholm, Frink Sr. tries to make amends with his son for his recent behavior, but he goes another on rampage through the audience, stealing brains of scientists growing more and more intelligent. Frink Jr. manages to stop his father with a kick to the crotch, killing him. Meanwhile, before dying, Frink Sr. is very proud of his son for standing up to him, however he is able to hold on to his father's soul (which talks to him from a box).
