Petergeist

In this episode, Peter decides to build a multiplex to top Joe's new home theater, but comes across a Native American skull in his backyard and desecrates it.

This episode features guest appearances from Phil LaMarr, Lori Alan, Adam West, Carrot Top, and Bob Costas as well as several recurring voice actors for the series.

Brian frequently urges him to return the skull to its resting place, but Peter treats it as a novelty (playing with it, urinating in it, wearing it as an athletic cup, etc.).

That night the Griffins start experiencing strange paranormal activity: Stewie talks to the TV static, the chairs and refrigerator stack themselves upside down on the kitchen table, Peter rips at the flesh on his face until he uncovers Hank Hill's face, and Chris gets scared by the McDonald's clown, Ronald McDonald and he then gets attacked by an evil tree before being saved by Herbert.

After searching through the city dump, a garbage man tells them that the skull would be in the human remains bin, but it was cleaned out by Carrot Top for things to use as props.

They go to Carrot Top's mansion and, after a chase through a hall of mirrors, they retrieve the skull and rebury it, thereby getting back their house and returning to normal life.

The episode was written by veteran writers and recurring voices for the show Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild.

[4] In addition to the regular cast, sports commentator Bob Costas and comedian Carrot Top guest starred in the episode.

[1][5][6] The DVD version includes some scenes that were edited from TV:[4] This episode may contain the highest amount of cultural references in a single airing, many of which are in rapid succession in the first half.

The television show that Peter and Lois watch entitled Fast Talking High Trousers, which parodied 1940s films, was conceived by Wellesley Wild.

Peter also references Bugs Bunny by sticking his head out of Meg's butt and claiming he took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

[7] IGN staff writer Michael Drucker gave a more critical review, saying that the jokes "quickly get old once you realize the episode blows its load fifteen minutes into the show".
