Synopsis[edit]

On Halloween, Rod and Todd's souls are taken to Hell by demons, and it's up to Ned, Homer, Bart, and Lisa to go and save them.

Plot[edit]

It is Halloween and Evergreen Terrace is having a party. While everyone is outside having fun, Rod and Todd are stuck in the house because Ned won't let them join the party because there's too much sugar and sacrilege. Meanwhile, Mr. Burns and Satan are having their weekly game night. Burns notices that Satan seems down, and he tells Burns that he's been working too much overtime. He tells Burns that he has too many souls already and that they bore him. Burns suggests that Satan diversify and suggests that he try children's souls, but Satan says that he's not allowed to recruit children. Burns tells Satan that he got his employees to sign over the souls of their families in return for 3-ply toilet paper in the employee toilets, and tells him about the Simpson family.

Back at the party, Bart swaps the mailboxes for his house and the Flanders' house around. Meanwhile, a pair of demons enter town and start setting people on fire. Back at the Flanders house, Todd shows Rod a copy of Harry Potter Disco Inferno, which he got from the library. Rod is worried since Ned told them that Harry Potter is too dangerous for their souls, but Todd goes to read it anyway. The demons then appear in their room and grab them, having seen the mailbox outside their house say "Simpson". The demons then possess Rod and Todd's bodies. They go outside and start causing havoc, destroying houses and giving people the powers of their costumes. Comic Book Guy accidentally heat-visions himself to death while dressed as Superman, Jimbo, Dolph, and Kearney end up merged together as one, Carl becomes Blacula and starts a fight with Lenny, who has a chainsaw on his hand, and Nelson attacks Martin, who turns into the Hulk. However, the Simpsons aren't affected by all the chaos as Homer has been using holy water to water the yard.

Since the Simpsons aren't affected, Ned goes to Homer to ask for help in saving his children's souls. Lisa agrees to help and she, Homer, and Bart show Ned the portal to Hell in their basement that opened up after Homer tried to fix the microwave. The four of them enter Hell and go through the Land of Temptation, Ironic Punishment Division, and the River Styx until they finally find Rod and Todd playing Dungeons & Dragons with demons. Ned confronts the demons, who tell him that he has no power in Hell. Maude then descends from Heaven and smites the demons, rescuing her husband and children. However, Homer mentions to her that Ned has started dating again, causing Maude to leave. Ned and the Simpsons fight the demons until Satan himself shows up. Homer tells Satan that he looks like he needs a vacation and Ned offers to take over from him while he does so. Satan transforms Ned into Flanders the Devil and then goes on vacation.

Six months later, Ned has taken over Hell full time and transformed it. Homer and Bart go to visit him and are horrified by what Hell has become and promise to go to church so they don't end up in Hell. Meanwhile, Satan has become an employee at the Kwik-E-Mart and makes people pay for products with their souls.
