This was the first Treehouse of Horror to feature five segments instead of the usual three.
Burns' family tree includes Satan, Pinhead and Maleficent.
The opening segment is a parody of Disney's 'Bambi.' Unlike in the Disney version, however, the hunter (Mr. Burns) actually appears onscreen. Walt chose not to show the Hunter in the original film for fear of antagonizing real hunters by portraying them as villains.
The opening song, a parody of a Disney song, is performed by Susan Egan, who voiced Megara in Disney's 'Hercules' and originated the role of Belle in the Broadway version of 'Beauty and the Beast.'
In the Parasite segment, the Itchy & Scratchy episode parodies Snowpiercer another Bong Joon-Ho film.
