"Treehouse of Horror XIX" is an upcoming episode of the twentieth season of The Simpsons.[2] It will air November 2, 2008.[3]
Plot
Homer tries to vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 American presidential election, but the voting machine is rigged to turn his vote into one for John McCain,[4] and kills him.[5]
How to Get Ahead in Dead-Vertising
Homer discovers that dead celebrities can be put in commercials for free, so he starts killing celebrities.[5]
===Unknown title=== In a parody of Transformers, Bart buys a birthday present from a 99 cent store, which turns out to be a Transformer. When the Autobots and Decepticons bring their conflict to Springfield, Marge asks why the robots war with one another, inspiring them to team up and conquer the human race.[3]
It's the Grand Pumpkin, Milhouse
In a parody of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Grand Pumpkin comes to life and becomes upset with human beings carving up pumpkins, so it tries to eat everyone.[2][6]
Production
The reason the segment couldn't be named "It's the Great Pumpkin, Milhouse" to exactly match its namesake was because of a "big legal issue", according to executive producer Al Jean.[2] However, the characters were redesigned to resemble the style of Peanuts, and they also obtained rights to use Vince Guaraldi's music.[3]
The Transformers parody is modeled on the live action film, rather than the cartoon.[3] Al Jean said it was "just really fun to do transformations [and] you can see why they enjoyed doing that film."[3]
