{{TB|The third segment, 'Bart Simpson's Dracula', is largely a parody of the 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula", with [[Mr. Burns]] appearing dressed up as Dracula in that movie. [[Waylon Smithers]] plays the part of Dracula's servant [[Renfield]]. The scenes where Dracula's shadow are cast against the wall is a reference to a famous scene from the Dracula movie 'Nosferatu' (1922), as well as scenes in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' where Dracula's shadow is not in sync with his movements.
