Description:

"Treehouse of Horror IV" is the fifth episode of The Simpsons' fifth season and the fourth episode in the Treehouse of Horror series of Halloween specials. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 28, 1993.

This limited edition has been inspired by this episode and is a hand painted limited edition on a giclee background and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

At work, Homer states that he would sell his soul for a doughnut after finding that Lenny and Carl took all the doughnuts and chucked them at an old man (Abe Simpson) for kicks. The Devil, revealed to be Ned Flanders, appears and offers Homer a contract to seal the deal. However, before Homer finishes it, he realizes that Ned will not be able to have his soul if he does not eat all of the doughnut and keeps the last piece in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, while half-asleep and looking for a midnight snack, he eats the final piece, and Ned instantly reappears to take possession of Homer's soul. Marge and Lisa plead with Ned, finally getting him to agree to hold a trial the next day. Until then, Homer is sent to spend the rest of the day being punished in Hell by being forced to eat thousands of doughnuts, which severely backfired due to Homer's titanical appetite (he not only ate all the doughnuts but also demanded more). At the stroke of midnight, Ned brings Homer back to the Simpson household for his trial. When the Simpsons' lawyer Lionel Hutz flees after ruining his case, Marge makes a final effort to save Homer by displaying a photo from their wedding day. On the back of the photo- which shows them in the emergency room after Homer single-handedly ate the entire wedding cake before the ceremony-, Homer has written that, in return for Marge giving him her hand in marriage, he pledges his soul to her forever; therefore, it was not his property to sell at the time of his deal with Ned. The jury - made up of notorious figures like Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Booth, Lizzie Borden, Blackbeard, John Dillinger, the starting line-up of the 1976 Philadelphia Flyers, and former U.S. President Richard Nixon (who, at the time of the episode's premiere, was still alive, although Ned points out that this was part of a deal Nixon made with him) - rules in favor of the Simpsons and the Grim Reaper judge dismisses the case. Enraged, Ned leaves, but unwilling to let Homer best him, he turns Homer's head into a doughnut. The next morning, Homer attempts to eat his own head, with Marge reprimanding him. Homer tries to go to work, but Lisa advises him against it, as Springfield's entire police force is waiting outside for him with coffee mugs in hand.
