YMMV / The Simpsons S27 E4 "Halloween of Horror"

• Realism-Induced Horror: When compared to the normal Treehouse of Horror specials, which mostly involve fantastical, supernatural or Sci-Fi based scenarios, this episode is more down-to-earth with Homer and Lisa finding themselves trapped in a house with people clearly intending to harm, or possibly even kill them (while the rest of the family remains oblivious). Lisa is already by this point frightened because of a Halloween attraction; seeing her trying to cope with the trauma is an example of this by itself, but it also makes the home invasion scarier (as well as making it somewhat of an In-Universe example) because she had been trying to rationalize away her fear by repeating to herself that it's not real while Homer has to inform her that in this case it is.
