Treehouse of Horror XXXV

The episode was written by Matt Selman, Dan Vebber, and Rob LaZebnik and directed by Timothy Bailey.

In this episode, political outrage causes kaiju to destroy the town, Mr. Burns is haunted by the ghosts of his factory workers, and an alien pair of jeans takes Homer as its host.

In a parody of the Pacific Rim films, the townsfolk are given free LED light bulbs thanks to Lisa's advocacy.

As more kaiju (based on 4chan, Facebook, Reddit, and Joe Rogan) appear, the siblings learn teamwork and chase them away.

In the Victorian era, Mr. Burns invites his corn syrup factory workers to his mansion for Thanksgiving dinner.

When Groundskeeper Willie beats him, Burns drops the food down a trap door out of arrogant anger, preventing them from eating.

In a parody of Venom, Homer is buying pants to impress Marge, who works in a diner nearby.

Prior to the first segment, an introduction was created by animator Jorge R. Gutierrez with a different animation style featuring the Simpsons characters as well as The Book of Life characters La Muerte and Xibalba in a lucha libre video game being played by Kang and Kodos.

[2] He pitched the idea of rage from social media and news to executive producer Matt Selman, who suggested using kaiju monsters.

Selman said the segment was a commentary of the rage on both sides of the political aisle where people chose "anger over commonality.

[5] In July 2024, at San Diego Comic-Con, Selman recorded the screaming of the Simpsons panel audience to be used in this episode.

[7] Daniel Kurland of Bloody Disgusting thought the "Fall of the House of Monty" segment was the best, highlighting the gore and the animation style of the old film stock.

He also thought the "Denim" segment was based on a "dumb pun" but liked the combination of traditional and stop motion animation.

He highlighted by opening by Gutierrez and thought the "Denim" segment was the best due to its collaboration with Stoopid Buddy and a plot reminiscent of the early seasons.
