The Exor-Sis
- Homer says that "No one leaves alive" are Maggie's first words, despite them being "Daddy" ("Lisa's First Word").

MMM... Homer
- The disclaimer at the beginning of this segment where a Simpson family appears on a stage in reference to warning the audience of the disturbing content within this segment is the first time in 23 years to use one since the airing of Treehouse of Horror V in 1994, as this warning was used at the beginning of the first five Halloween episodes to warn the audience.
Goofs
- Homer's index fingers are suddenly back on his hands, after being eaten by him in previous scenes, when he is pulling out his tooth to top a cupcake with.
