127 Hours and Avatar are two of the targets in this year’s Treehouse of Horror extravaganza coming from The Simpsons this Halloween.

Fresh from the announcement that the show is returning for two more years, Fox stated that: “In the spooky opener of the 22nd annual installment of ‘Treehouse of Horror,’ Homer takes a dangerous dive into an isolated canyon on Candy Peak, but when a crashing boulder traps his arm, he channels Aron Ralston (guest-voicing as himself) to save himself.

“In ‘The Diving Bell and Butterball,’ the first of three hair-raising Halloween tales, a venomous spider bite leaves Homer paralyzed, but when Lisa discovers Homer’s ability to communicate through natural gases, he is able to express his love for Marge (Julie Kavner).

“The killer spells continue in ‘Dial D for Diddly,’ when Ned Flanders (Harry Shearer), devout preacher by day, transforms into a cold-blooded vigilante by night.

“In the final terrifying tale, ‘In the Na’Vi,’ Bart (Nancy Cartwright) and Milhouse are assigned a mission to access a sacred extract on a distant planet. They morph into the land’s indigenous one-eyed avatars, but when Bart finds love and an eternal mate abroad, he is caught in planet warfare.”

The episode airs October 30 on Fox in the US, and is expected to be broadcast soon afterwards on Sky One in the UK.
