History Recap / TheSimpsonsS29E4TreehouseOfHorrorXXVIII

* AffectionateParody: Of ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty''..

* PlotHole: Pazuzu posseses Homer at the beginning of the short, which leads to Maggie's possesion, yet Homer is shown to be completely normal later on in the party.

* BodyHorror: The Other World Marge shifts into a bug-like creature, upon seeing Homer accidentally kill her other world son and husband.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: The Beldam in the original ''Coraline'' was an irredeemably monstrous [[WickedWitch witch]]-like EldritchAbomination who lured children into her clutches so that she could sew buttons into their eyes and eat their souls and abused her minions, including her "husband" the Other Father. Here, the Other Marge (whom we can assume is ''supposed'' to be the Beldam, which is confirmed by her transformation at the end) is an AffablyEvil entity who leaves Bart and Lisa be after sewing buttons into their eyes and lets them live there peacefully (even bringing the real Marge in and implicitly becoming friends with her) and is genuinely horrified and angered when Homer's stupidity leads to the deaths of her son and husband.

* MamaBear: Other Marge nearly kills Homer when he accidentally kills the Other Bart and Other Homer. She makes peace with him, but when Other Homer reveals that a social worker and exterminator are coming as a result of Bart's drawing, she draws some weapons and says she'll take care of it.

The 28th instalment in the ''Treehouse of Horror'' series.

* ContentWarnings: Evoking the earliest Halloween episodes, Lisa [[BreakingTheFourthWall informs the audience]] that the following segment is especially unnerving.

* ITasteDelicious: Homer accidentally chops up his pinky finger and it falls on the grill. He eats it and finds it the most delicious thing he's ever tasted. He finds himself being ''so delicious'' that [[UpToEleven he no longer enjoys the taste of other food]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: The Beldam in the original ''Coraline'' was an irredeemably monstrous EldritchAbomination who lured children into her clutches so that she could sew buttons into their eyes and eat their souls and abused her minions, including her "husband" the Other Father. Here, the Other Marge (whom we can assume is ''supposed'' to be the Beldam, which is confirmed by her transformation at the end) is an AffablyEvil entity who leaves Bart and Lisa be after sewing buttons into their eyes and lets them live there peacefully (even bringing the real Marge in and implicitly becoming friends with her) and is genuinely horrified and enraged when Homer's stupidity leads to the deaths of her son and husband.

* AdultFear:
** Lisa feels so unappreciated by her family that she runs away.
** Marge expresses worry when Lisa goes missing for a few days and the police isn't any help.
** A more mundane thing is Chief Wiggums assembles Maggie's high chair, and it breaks while Maggie is using it. Fortunately, she isn't hurt.

* EsotericHappyEnding: Homer literally eats himself to death, but he enjoys it so thoroughly, and considers it the only thing he's ever succeeded in doing, plus the rest of Springfield enjoyed eating his remains (plus Barney and Comic Book Guy).

** A more mundane thing is Chief Wiggums assembles Maggie's high chair, and it breaks while Maggie is using it. Fortunately she isn't hurt, but Marge is angry.

* TakeThatScrappy: Though non-canon, Possessed!Maggie killing Helen Lovejoy was sweet, sweet catharsis.
