Episode Information
Showrunner: [[{{{showrunner}}}]]



"Treehouse of Horror XXVII" will be season 28's 4th episode and the 27th installment in the Treehouse of Horror series. The episode will air on October 16, 2016. It'll be the 600th episode of The Simpsons.[1]

Synopsis

The first segment will have a Hunger Games-theme. Sideshow Bob and Frank Grimes will both be present.[2][3]

"In the midst of a major drought, Mr. Burns introduces a Hunger Games-style contest in which Springfield's children fight each other for a day in Burns' personal reservoir. Meanwhile, Lisa's imaginary best friend, Rachel, is jealous of Lisa's real best friends and starts killing them. Moe tells Bart that the barflies are actually covert agents and that he wants Bart join their team in Homer's place.[4]"


Opening and Closing sequences

The Treehouse episode opens with a short segment in which Simpson foes, including Sideshow Bob, try to kill the beloved Springfield family. A Bond-like anthem, performed by singer Judith Owen (wife of Simpsons stalwart Harry Shearer), closes the episode, celebrating the episodic feat.[1]

Production

Couch gag

Main article: Planet of the Couches

The couch gag for the episode is Planet of the Couches, an unused couch gag that was planned to be used if an episode came up too short. Google approached the producers about creating a virtual reality couch gag. The producers then decided to use the Planet of the Couches gag. The couch gag can be viewed with Google Cardboard.[5]
