 == Reception ==
 The episode got a 8.4 reader rating from TV.com. Colin Jacobson of DVD Movie Guide said "Even in the weakest Simpsons seasons, you can count on the Halloween episodes to deliver good amusement. Or at least pretty decent comedy, as evidenced by the up and down Treehouse XI. None of the segments excel, but none of them flop either, so they keep us entertained. It's really hard to fault a mainstream network TV series that references glory holes, so Treehouse XI gets a positive appraisal despite a few missteps."

 [[Simpson family|The Simpsons]] are peasants living in a pumpkin cottage, with Homer as the village oaf. When Homer is fired and they cannot afford food, he vows that no child will go hungry in his home. He then tosses out [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] into the nearby woods, where they find a former son and daughter pair (who were also tossed out by Homer), now skeletons. Lisa, using her book of ''[[Grimms' Fairy Tales]]'', guides them through the forest's many dangers, including a [[Troll|troll hiding under a bridge]] and the [[Three Bears]].
-Meanwhile, Marge admonishes Homer for throwing out the kids, and orders him to get them back. While Homer is looking for his children he finds [[Rapunzel]]'s tower. Rapunzel asks Homer to rescue her and lowers her hair so that he can climb up to her window. But Homer is too heavy, and he is only able to climb part of the way up over Rapunzel's pained cries before his weight separates Rapunzel's hair (and possibly scalp) from her head, causing Homer to plummet to the ground. Homer pushes the pile of hair behind a bush with his foot and runs away.

 The kids go to a gingerbread house where [[Suzanne|a witch]] invites them inside. Soon Lisa is in chains and sweeping, and Bart is being {{W|Hansel and Gretel|fattened up to be eaten}}. Before the witch can cook them, they distract her by saying she has no one to look good for, and when she claims her date ([[George Cauldron]]) is coming by soon for a date, Homer bursts in. The witch zaps him repeatedly, making him part-chicken and part-fish among other things. She tries to stuff him in the oven, but Homer overpowers her and shoves her in, locking the door. As she dies, Homer reverts back to normal, and the family's surprised when a very handsome man named George Cauldron shows up for a date with "Suzanne".

-[[Homer]] is Herman Munster, [[Marge]] is Lily Munster, [[Lisa]] is Marilyn Munster (holding a book on copyright law), [[Bart]] is Eddie Munster, and [[Abraham Simpson|Abe]] is Grandpa Munster. At the front of their mansion, an angry mob of townspeople confront the Simpsons. They stab Marge and Grampa, set Homer on fire, and set a leghold trap on Bart. They run off, leaving an unharmed (and non-monstrous) Lisa to sidle away.

-At breakfast, Homer reads his horoscope, where it states that he will die that day, and someone will compliment him at work. Marge's horoscope says that her husband will die. Homer dismisses it and leaves for work. On his way to work, he narrowly escapes death several times. When he gets to the power plant [[Lenny]] compliments him... about the rattlesnake on his arm. Since he is still alive at the end of the day (despite multiple injuries and close calls) he scoffs at the horoscope, but is finally killed after eating some broccoli, which [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] informs Marge is "the deadliest plant on Earth-- why, it tries to warn you itself with its TERRIBLE taste!".

 When Homer reaches Heaven, [[St. Peter]] informs him that he hasn't done a good deed in his life, and in order to enter Heaven he must return to Earth as a ghost and do a good deed within 24 hours. Over the next 24 hours he tries to do good deeds, but succeeds only in getting a noogie from [[Nelson]] and accidentally dropping [[Agnes Skinner]] to her death (Homer's claim that he's pretty sure she was going to be the next Hitler doesn't pass muster). With only one minute left, he grabs a baby from a runaway pram which then rolls into traffic and explodes. Confident that he will now get into Heaven, he returns to St. Peter, who apologizes as he had not been looking during Homer's good deed. Thus Homer is sent to Hell, where Satan gives him noogies and asks him to stop yelling because he'll wake up [[John Wayne]], who it turns out has already gotten up for his day in Hell.
