"Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" is the eleventh episode of the tenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
After Cyndi Lauper's rendition of the national anthem, the crowd all begins to leave before the announcer reminds them that there's still a ball game to be played.
Six months later, he enters Moe's Tavern and is informed by Lenny and Carl that the Isotopes are in the playoffs, and have been playing well (although a sniper's deadly rampage at the All-Star Game is credited with much of their success).
Chief Wiggum jumps to the conclusion that the vandalism at the school is the work of "no good punk kids", and immediately enforces a curfew on all of Springfield's children, prohibiting them from being on the local streets after dark.
The kids do not react well to the new rules, and soon rally together to break curfew so they can see a 1950s drive-in horror movie which they saw advertised on television, called The Bloodening.

Neither the opening with The Isotopes nor the finale with the rather dire song help this one at all, and frankly, if it wasn't for the superb parody of Village of the Damned, and the kids' revenge by revealing their family's secrets, it'd sink without trace.
